With the draft approaching, what are your thoughts?

[Jiri Welsch]

Im all in on Bol Bol. He is going to be one of those guys everyone was wrong about.

The fact that Bol Bol weighs as much as I do (I am 6'0'') slightly worries me!

Marcus Smart could back him down in the post

Neither of you are wrong, but we all know Smarty wouldnt finish over him and he has time to add muscle. Im not saying he dosnt have question marks, I am saying im all in on his upside and raw talent.

[Birdman]

Tyler Herro
Kabengele
Ty Jerome
Nic Claxton
Any of these 4 of our 3 picks i be happy

NO to
Bol Bol
Branden Clarke
Nassir Little

Little reminds me of Hollis Jefferson..Bol Bol just has bust written all over him..and Clarke just too under size..

If Danny drafts Bol, he'll be crucified here as much as he was for drafting Fab Melo.

In all fairness, Smart would manage to back down most centers in the post.

I'm frankly not at all a fan. His father never put on muscle, so I'm not sure where the faith that he could comes from.

He has a widely-reported poor motor and significant injury clouds, plus a weird frame that doesn't look like it will take well to the NBA punishment

I fondly remember him holding his own against TT.

Although I feel Marcus was heavier on that team

Kareem Abdul Jabbar played his entire career at 7'2" 225-230 pounds. If Bol can add another 20 pounds of muscle and retain it during the season, he will be fine. I am more worried about long term wear and tear on his knees and ankles and his motor than I am his weight and being moved around. His length and height will still be able to overcome his lack of weight but does he have the motor to make it in the NBA. He would be a solid pick with any of the Celtics picks. His upside is outrageous if he develops and brings it nightly. Sadly, a huge bust potential as well.

Someone should teach Bol the sky-hook

Or even a jump hook from within 10 feet or so. Who the heck will ever be able to defend that shot?

[Surferdad]

Gonna be fireworks tomorrow at the draft.

We will come out winners.

This is pretty much the only reason I will watch the draft.  I don't follow college ball and know almost nothing outside the top-3.

However, the way this off-season is going, I'm not counting on any fireworks, which means the team will be mediocre next season, around 42 wins and possibly miss the playoffs.

BTW, I don't blame Ainge for the way things are going.  He gambled and lost.

This picture is quite ridiculous. Kareem looks small

I don't trust his health, but Woj said some teams view him as a top 5 talent in the draft.

In a perceived weak draft, this is what we should be going for.

My hope if we are selecting players with all three of our first round picks would be to take Kevin Porter, Jr., Bol Bol, and Darius Bazley.

All three could easily flame out and be gone in the NBA by year 3 of their rookie deal, or they could all turn into terrific players, because of their natural gifts, whether it's physical tools or absolute talent.

This is the time to swing for the home run. We get three shots at it, one of them turns into a near all-star, and we got ourselves a pretty good draft.
