I think we would have taken Thybulle? The rumor is that Ainge picked Thybulle and then called Philly, as opposed to Philly telling Ainge who to pick.  Memphis clearly believed we’d have picked Clarke at 22 tho, since they jumped from 23 to 21 to get him.
Lowe and others have reported that Ainge knew Philly was in love with Thybulle (and had promised to pick him)

He was picked specifically to extract a ransom. Though I am sure Ainge was prepared to keep him if Philly didn't play ball.

I really think Ainge must have had Clarke and Williams as equal on his board to make that play.

This sounds correct to me.   And it also sounds very ... Ainge.

Be concerned with the process, not the result. The results will take care of themselves.

He plays the game the right way. His form is pretty solid. His free throw shooting is good. He's still only 21 (same age as Mo Bamba). He works hard and plays unselfishly.

Rumor is that he wins three point shooting competitions in practice too.

It's really not a big deal.

GWill has a long career ahead of him.

It's a big deal in that we could use minutes from him right now, but he's close to unplayable at times because we're playing 4 on 5 offensively with him out there.

He has a 78 offensive rating, which is a big problem, and a 105 defensive rating, which is nothing special.

The lack of production by him and Edwards is a real problem that is obscured by the halo effect of the outstanding play of the starters.

TP to you for providing that. Way, way, way more TPs to Jaylen and the rest of the Celtics for the comedy.

For others here is the tweet:

"Yeah we were calling him Ben Simmons for a while"

I thought the Ben Simmons nickname was funny.  he covered quickly mentioning Simmons hit one too.
