I still cannot believe this pick. Terrible.

Indiana is doing what I wanted.

Get another sf to allow for hayward to be traded
Get goga.


We reach for a poor shooting undersized wing with no motor.

Sigh.

I really dont get adding a 4th small forward to the roster when we have no frontcourt at all.

There has to be something more going on here.

Ugh.

We're 0 for 1.

So a man gets a contract of a lifetime and the first reaction to pout? This site sometimes......

What

Dude shot 27% from three last year at a position we have completely covered. There were some great pieces on the board.
Played most of the season with a torn ligament in his hand.

If he had shut it down at the time of the injury he could have been right there with Garland.

Good athlete, gets to the rim and line, good finisher, natural scorer , versatile skill set, if he can get that hand healthy and fix the jumper he’s a star. I’m delighted with that kind of upside at 14.

We said the same thing about James Young and R.J. Hunter.

Welcome to the guy who won't be able to get on the floor because he plays the same position as 8 other guys we have.

Does anyone know if he shot the 3 well in high school pre-hand injury? Thanks in advance.

Romeo Langford took 14.5 shots and averaged 7.1 FTA per 40 minutes in college. If his impressive free throw collecting translates even a little, that’s an area in which he should help the Celtics

I think people are overlooking this skill, which we are definitely in need of. Hopefully his shooting improves with better health in his hand/thumb, but the fact that he can get to the hole and line at will is a really solid skill that we need.

Didn’t RJ Hunter get a lot of FTs?  Those skills don’t always carry over when faced with stronger, faster defenders.

From what I can tell from the little bit I've seen of him thus far, Langford looks much more athletic than someone like Hunter.

I’m convinced that someone has nudes of Ainge. What the hell is this... he’s picking guys 15 picks too early.

After the first 4 or 5 players taken, this draft got very mediocre in general. There is little sign that anyone the C's have chosen can actually help this team.

This was a great pick. Watch this guy play. He can really create his shot, much more than Brown. Kid is a stud.

The problem is how will Langford get minutes when the Celts have Brown and Hayward?

I think something's up.

Celts needed a PG and a C.

Drafting another 6-6 player just doesn't make sense, unless a trade is in the works.

Stud is a stretch
