It looks like he's showing a lot of contested 3's in the videos I watched. I wonder what he'll shoot on open threes he'll get in The Celtics system? Kinda reminds me a little of Tony Delk. He looks very strong.
Good comparison, didn't even think of Delk.

Of course, Delk had an absolutely mind-boggling 7'2" wingspan
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Yeah, I almost said except for his crazy wingspan. He's not a dell clone or anything but just kinda reminds me of him. I really liked Delk.

People are comparing him to Royal Ivey, so I don't think we need to organize a "Vote Brad Wanamaker for All-Star!" campaign.

Boston Celtics, Brad Wanamaker agreed on guaranteed one-year rookie minimum deal for $831,311, sources tell me. Euroleague's all-guard bet on himself, left $3.8M net on the table in Barcelona.

I’d take Ivey as a 3rd PG.

Was hopeful for two years.  Oh well.

For a guy like him, leaving $3M on the table is pretty huge. He is pretty much taking 1/5th of the salary he could have made in Europe to prove that he is an NBA caliber player. You'd have to think that even if things work out well for him with the Cs, he will never be able to make up that money. It must just be mostly a pride thing - let's hope for the best for him and the Cs!

To be clear, that was $3.8 million over two years, so he’s leaving a little over $1 million on the table this year.

Do they need someone to clear off this table? I'll do it....

You have to think that is his last chance to play in the NBA and if he fails he can always go back to Europe to finish his career.

Hard nose player in college who was nothing special but was always solid and gave a 100%

TP, exactly.

Chasing the dream...gotta admire it.

No fear....betting on himself....that fearless mentality fits right into our team persona.
