2019 NBA Draft Thread

[celticinorlando]

One thing about Langford that concerns me is he is soft. Going to have to get that dog mentality.

Soft? He legit played with a torn ligament in his hand.

Mentally. Even his agent said he needed to be toughened up

Less than 10 picks away. Will Bol Bol still be there at 51!

According to this blog this is Aimges 8th consecutive worst draft ever.

In that stretch the blogs favorite pick was probably R.J. Hunter

Outside the top ten picks like smart, Tatum, brown.... how are those picks doing?  8 years of picks with 3/4 of them not even around.  Way to build for the future

He has blown some drafts.

I’m more referring to ‘16 and ‘17 which were both PANNED on this blog.

He’s blown way too many late firsts which was a strength of his in the early years of his tenure.

Since selecting Avery Bradley his best non lotto picks are Terry Rozier, Jared Sullinger and Semi Ojeleye(?)

That’s absolutely unacceptable.

He absolutely needs at least 2 of Williams, Edwards, Langford Williams to turn into real NBA players.

Wyc asked on @NBCSBoston to characterize state of team: “Building or re-tooling, we’re starting with a core of Marcus Smart, Gordon Hayward, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum. Start with that and add in the rest of the roster, not to slight anybody, and then restricted rights on Terry."

Well, that seems pretty indicative that they're expecting both Kyrie and Al to be gone, and the way things have been handled since that news broke, I'm not sure that they mind all that much given all the controversy of last year. May be best for all parties involved to start over with our current young studs as the focus moving forward, with Hayward being the solid veteran presence.

Also found the comment about Terry interesting. While he was mentioned, it's clear that he's an afterthought at this point and may only be coming back if we strike out in free agency.

That pick just makes no sense. Little trickster-type who can't shoot and doesn't appear to have a lot of mental toughness & competitiveness. Not a Danny/Brad/Celtics type pick.

I’m definitely excited with the potential of Hayward coming back close to All Star Form and maybe Tatum + Brown taking that extra step as they take bigger roles. More shot attempts for each of those 3 as well.

Lame request: Can anyone direct me to a link where I can stream this online? Feel free to DM me! (PLEASE!!)

Reddit being shut down makes this tough...

Jontay still out there...

I am coming to accept our team will not have any height for awhile. Teams like Philly and Bucks will destroy us head to head.

So, with Bol Bol gone, it's time for Tacko!
