In Brown we finally have a player

[Ogaju]

that can get to the rim with size. Right now the only player we have that can get to the rim is IT and he is kind of small. Now we have a long athlete that can explode to the basket.

What else can we do than "look on the bright side?"  If getting to the rim is the only criteria going into this, then the bar was set way too low.  Still can't get the awful taste off my mouth.  If Minny get Buttler for Dunn, this will make Danny look horrible.

Rim attacking is good, but isn't the defense just going to collapse and make Boston's mediocre shooters shoot?

We get good spacing with Yabusele who is a 44% 3 point shooter and IT who is an outside threat. This will free up Brown to slash to the basket, and kick out to them when he wants. I see Danny working here.

Before we declare Brown a super star, he needs to address a few things, like his ball handling, and his shooting isn't great. And getting to the rim in college is different than getting to the rim in the NBA.

BUT, if he can address some of these problems, his potential is extremely high. He will be an excellent defender in the NBA within the first half season.

The fact is, there simply wasn't any sure fire picks at 3. After the first 2 picks, the draft dropped off.

Ainge and Stevens are building a team. Part of what you pay for is for them to see stuff that others do not see. There is a reason Draymond Green fell to pick 35....35 folks. The Butler you are all clamoring for fell to pick 30.

Ainge and Stevens know what they want to do, and what they need. This guy Yabusele has Diaw, Biyombo, and Green written all over him. Brown is a slasher and can only improve. I like this draft.

I think Brown is really deadly in transition.  Maybe we are going to run more with Sully gone?

Celtic fans always complain.
I think it's the booze.

So... basically a slightly bigger Marcus Smart?

Love, love, love the Brown pick.  The C's need a star.  Of the players available, Brown has the best chance of becoming a star.  Dude has skills you cannot teach.  And he's a good kid.

He is much longer than Marcus Smart, and you cannot teach length.

You can't teach length. You can't teach height. You can't teach heart. I know... I've heard all the buzz phrases.

Gonna be an interesting summer league

He is justice Winslow 2.0

[Eja117]

Well he has to go to all star games for the Celts or be the 3rd best player in this draft or quickly get traded for an all star. If that stuff doesn't happen he's a bust.
