Yeah I found myself thinking about whether this kid could surpass Javonte, or how long it would take...  agree on the unknown ceiling...if he can score in different ways he could be quite good.

I think Stanley is a safe pick in the 30-40 range. Elite athlete who should be able to shoot 3s at a respectable %. I’ll be curious to see if he has added weight and retained explosiveness. Watching him play for Duke he really looks like a smaller version of Jaylen Brown. He is older for his class and this hurts his potential development but he fits the mold of a Cs pick.

Literally, all these prospects are considered early 2nd rounders or late 1st rounders. Minus Terry who just started shooting up some mock drafts. Does this mean we have a trade planned with the 14th?

Couple of ways I look at this.

A. Ainge doesn't want to tip his hand at #14, he will bring targets in for in person meetings and keep it under wraps

B. Ainge already has a trade out trade lined up. I like the idea of something like #14+Poirier to Memphis for #40 and a lotto protected future 1st

As interviews are confirmed I will try to update this list


Tyrell Terry
Xavier Tillman
Desmond Bane
Tyshon Alexander
Jay Scrubb

I don’t follow college hoops much so I’m no expert but how I’m reading this list is like:
1. Carsen Edwards 2.0
2. Grant Williams 2.0
3. Semi Ojeleye but who hopefully won’t be a bust
4. 3D guy, not sure we have someone like him now
5. Power Javonte Green

Does that make any sense?

Nope

Tillman is 6'8.5 and can guard centers. Better ball handler and passer than Grant

Terry is a better ball handler, shooter and iq than Edwards. Edwards is not a pg but a short eddie house like sg
I wish Edwards was as good as House. Let's not forget how great House was as a PG depending on the system. If it was pace and space or using the PG as a spot up shooter House was the man. He was also the PG finishing off games the C's last championship year including playoffs.

Eddie averaged less than 8 mpg in those playoffs.  He played more than 15 minutes in 4 of the 21 games he appeared in.  He DNP in 5 of the games.  He was huge in Game 4 of the Finals when he played 24:34, the most he appeared in any game in those playoffs.   In the Finals, he did not play in Games 1 or 2 (both wins).  He 'finished off' Games 3 (loss), 4 (win) & 6 (blowout by 39 points).  He did technically finish Game 5 (loss) but was just subbed in for the last seconds as a shooter.  He wasn't in for most of the last half of the 4th.

Eddie was a useful, valuable player for us, but he really only had a few 'moments' in those playoffs and was otherwise sitting on the bench for most of it.
NBA Officiating - Corrupt?  Incompetent?  Which is worse?  Does it matter?  It sucks.

hate that idea.  I think Danny will use a pick to move Poirier but more likely the 30th (or worst case, the 26th to also move Edwards)

As a draft fan it’s not the sexy idea but it’s rooted in sound logic. The trade down and out would save the Cs money and retain a future draft asset. Unlike most drafts the likely talent drop from 14-40 isn’t monumental. It could be the difference if Terry vs Quickly, Maxey Vs Alexander, Anthony vs Riller, or Achiuwa vs Tillman. In terms of roster construction moving the 14, D&S 26 (Bolmaro/Maledon/Poku), drafting a play now guy at 30+40 (Bane/Tillman/Riller/Alexander), and landing a solid guy willing to take a 2-way at 47 ( Azubuike, Marshall, Hinton) would probably be ideal

I get the idea of dropping salary and picking up a future asset but if we're using a pick to move Poirier and only getting a protected first, I'd rather move the 30 or 26 pick.  use the remaining one on a D&S if there's a solid prospect available OR package that with the 14 to move up for a preferred player that won't be there a 14.  ideally, we'd just use 47 to move Poirier (will need to include cash to pay off his contract so he can be waived) and package the 3 first rounders to move up for a player that could be pretty good for a number of years as well as good enough to contribute in a small role next year.  I'm not a fan of continually punting picks down the road that just keep getting worse.    Now if Memphis were willing to just go with a top 6 protection so that there's a possibility of the C's getting a late lottery selection out of it, that may be worth considering

He's a nice sharpshooting guard, but with his absolute inability to pass I don't know if he's going to be a long-term PG

I'm not sure that Quickley has an inability to pass, he clearly was not called upon to create for other at UK. Playing along side PG Hagans and combo guard Maxey he was very clearly on the court to shoot open shots. Its a small 6 game sample size but looking back at his senior year in high school at the Adidas Nations AAU circuit he averaged 4.7 asts .5TO in 26mpg. I believe he will be a capable off ball PG, never a starting caliber initiator but rather an off the ball PG like a George Hill, Seth Curry type.

Maybe, I was just really unimpressed by how flustered he looked whenever I saw him. Looked to me like he couldn't handle the game speeding up as he transitioned from high school to college. I don't mind him as a secondary playmaker as his passing seems way more reactionary than anything else, but I have a hard time projecting him as a 4APG kind of guy George Hill was
