Just imagine Evan Turner had the Celtics drafted him .Evan Turner might have become a completely different player.
.Romeo with his season at Indiana sabotaged by ligament issue, that he kept hidden during regular season-No excuses he just kept playing for what looked like a very weak team. He said he didn't want surgery out of loyalty to teammates The kid was loyal to his town and signed every autograph even if it meant 30minutes extra.
The kid is humble .
Both Romeo and Robert Williams fell out of lottery and we are Danny(lucky) they did.
The development of Romeo also was delayed with his rehab holding him out of combine, summer league
training camp and a portion of pre season.
So we have loyalty ,humility and he showed his courage every time he set up for a charge-not a flinch.
He was not intimidated guarding Lebron or after a slashing move through the paint and a hard foul. He then calmly hit his two foul shots. He also has shown promise with his weakside rebounding and put backs.
He turned 20 in October and was just gaining traction the 2nd half of season.
He has that gifted ability to dribble low to ground ,has good lower body strength to use getting over screens. And that length that allows him to recover and bother or blocks shots and rebound over the back of taller players. Great timing blocking shots and gets up quickly off two feet
He has work ethic and, the incredible Auerbach Center,,committed coaches and trainers. Danny is always watching and Brad a hands on young coach.
Not enough can be said of the crew of hard working young guys (Marcus,Jaylen, Jason) and vets (Kemba Hayward) on future development of young players. Most players that come to Celtics have renewed their careers with their best seasons.
Bring in Drew Hanlon for Romeo ASAP.
