Thanks to all for this killah research!
Bol looks like a possibility, but,
A) Won't some dork GM gamble on him before #14?
B) You can't just say "gain 40 lbs and get mean" at a guy.
C) He played nine games in college...ummm...that was one more than eight? He's not tired, we know that.
I think Ainge should just pick Rudy Gobert...Oh wait a minute, wrong year, sorry.
I think Ainge should get on the Euro train this draft.
Bitadze might be worth a a shot, he's clunky, but, clunky guys need a job too. His highlights reveal that he can easily outplay smallish, untalented euro guys. Rudy Gobert highlights years ago were against those same small, untalented euro guys and look at him now.
Bruno Fernando (6'10" 234 - 7'4" wing 16.3 ppg 12.8 reb - 21 years) out of Maryland is fine. Athletic/bouncy like Williams and, in his favor, he played a really tough schedule for the Terrapins. I mean he wasn't just playing against guys who were smaller than him all the time. Soft hands around the rim shot 72% from the line.
The buzz kill for this "draft party" is Brad " you rooks gonna get no minutes from me" Stevens.
There is a guy we have a shot at.
He is 6'10" 240 lbs....he shot 70% from the field and 60% from the line. He averaged 4 blocks and 9 rebs per 36 minutes. Rough around the edges, but, a prospect worth studying. Robert Williams got 280 minutes this season. 90% of it GT (garbage time). When the Celtics draft a big this year? He will be fighting with Williams for the eight freaking minutes per game Stevens has for rookie bigs.
