A knock down shooter.  Don’t care who he is. 

...should be able to get a shooter at 14th pick.
I'd rather try and sign a proven NBA vet shooter. We could end up with another Edwards!

Sign a Vet shooter too. We have a slot.

I don’t know much about this draft, but I know I’ll be disappointed if we are actually picking someone at 14. I hope we either package to move up, or defer it for a future pick.

There just isn’t room on this roster for a mid-level prospect when we have guys like Langford, R. Williams, G. Williams, and even Edwards.

Either move up or move out.

You have to have a trade partner and you don't just want to dump the draft picks. There will be some solid role players in this draft. If we can move into the top 8 and take a chance on a solid prospect I would do it but there are no guarantees in this draft. I'd love for Danny to grab a bunch of solid vets for our bench but I'm not sure who we can get. Who's your move up target? What do we do with our 4 picks if we can't move up?

14: Tyrell Terry  -  if its true he tacked on 20lbs.  Trey Young lite.  Backup to Kemba and eventual successor
26: Paul Reed -  Hopefully he has tacked on a few pounds also.  May not be available at 26
30: Jay Scrubb - Draft and stash at Maine
47: Malcolm Cazalon (euro prospect. Draft and Stash)

That's really high for Scrubb, who may not even be drafted.

I don’t know if Terry has actually grown taller or is more athletic, but this video does show him stepping on a scale and weighing 174.

I'd like to see Boston find a way,to trade up for Okongwu if possible.

It's obvious Theis/Kanter are nothing but bantha fodder, so unless Robert Williams is planning on making a 3rd year leap, we're desperately still in need of a legit big.

Sweet. Should be considered at 14

As an oldie who has watched the NBA since 1969 ,Miami has shown me how the game has changed. I have never seen a team with so many 3 point shooters.
Van Gundy made a great comment about the C’s defense , or lack of, saying we were paralyzed by their shooting.
This is my long way of saying I like Terry .

Yup

And the Heat have (robinson, herro and dragic) are not just good shooters. They are automatic good

Celts have a team with a bunch of 35 percent 3 pt shooters.  Streaky and not bad. But its not layup 3s

With Terry would add a legit 3 pt sharpshooter

Ideally would like Okongwu and Terry. Or Achiuwa and Terry from the draft

But instead come out with one of Achiuwa or Terry and role type talent with 26

Danny needs to draft all shooters. You can't have too many. Having 4 40% 3point shooters coming off your bench would be wonderful.

I'm with you there to an extent. I would love to nab two pure shooters (Bane and Sam Merrill - a guy who I think is going to be a real surprise), a defensive minded player (Reed), and a genuine backup PG who can play immediately (Lewis Jr. or Terry).

A draft haul of Terry/Lewis Jr. (14), Bane (26), Reed (30) and Merrill (47) would be awesome. I think every single one of those guys can come in and contribute right away.

If you've got a minute, watch this video on Merrill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IvDvTWfa80
One of the more effortless scorers I can remember seeing. The knocks on him are mainly age, as he's 24 already, and he doesn't generate much defence, but he's got a high IQ which will offset that in the NBA. At the moment he's my 2nd round binkie.

Say we draft Terry. That's 3 40% 3PT shooters at college and a rangy athlete who can defend 3-5.
'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)
