here comes popovich to make us look like fools

Dude seems pretty quick and coordinated for a 7 footer:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMWf5FYe7C4

#13 pick... It's been a while since we had a guy legitimately taken in the lotto.  Draft Express had him projected #12.

[Celtics18]

Not who I was hoping for, but I'm willing to give him a chance. 

The kid's definitely got a tremendous amount of offensive skill for a seven footer.  I'm excited to see what he can do as a Celtic.

Welcome aboard, Kelly.

We just got softer and less athletic - and duped in the process - while the freakiest athlete (Larkin) and one of the highest potential guys (Schroeder) were available.

Softer and less athletic.

thanks danny!

I definitely picked the wrong week to give up sniffing glue

  Isn't it *always* a bad week for that? Doh!

Wimpy Olynyk was terrible in the NCAA tournament...couldn't play with the big boys

He wasn't "terrible", really.  23.5 points, 9.5 rebounds.  His shooting wasn't great (43%), but it's hard to call him terrible.

and what conference did kelly olynk play in?

WCC.

You know who alse played in a small school on a much smaller conference? Damian Lillard, Weber State, Big Sky.

Wait, CJ McCollum went ahead of him, he played for Lehigh and Patriot League.

Whats the point here?

A poor mans Dirk....I hope.

I know now...I got it..its the second coming of KEVIN PITTSNOGGLE

You have been Pittsnoggled!

-Athletic markers (blocks and steals) are usually very good measures of transition to NBA. His are bad.
-His WARP projection (which is definitely flawed) was 16th
-His wingspan is LESS than his height (terrible)
-His rebounding is bad for his size
-It’s been shown recently that the EARLY years of college are best at predicting NBA success (getting better as you are an old guy in college vs. freshman tends to cause you to become overrated…hello plumlee)…and Olynyk SUCKED his first 2 years, so he’s also old.
-His closest statistical comparisions are Markieff Morris (96., Jordan Hill, Darnell Jackson, Jeff Pendergraph

Man this isn't what I expected when I heard we drafted a 22 year old 7 foot white stiff...

Dude can shoot/move/handle the ball.  Will still probably be a bum, but he seems to have some skill.

[lightspeed5]

I CAN FINALLY BUY A CELTICS WHITE GUY JERSEY ! WILL IT COME IN 5 XL ?

[D.o.s.]

Needs more beard.

Love the draft day overreactions.  Were you expecting the savior of the Celtics franchise to be drafted at #13 or #16?  Please.  To me, Olynyk, once he gets up to speed makes Bass expendable. 

He's a scoring PF who for once is not undersized and actually has a clue of how to get the ball into the basket.  Name any other Celtic at 7 foot who can do that outside of KG - who is on the way out.  Yeah, that's what I thought.

As for all the jock hangers on Shabazz - the guy smells like a B-U-S-T.  And you can quote me on that 5 years down the road.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

let's see this cat can post up and score and can shoot threes. and people hate him here? WHO IN THE HELL DO WE CURRENTLY have who is willing to post up a ton and can shoot threes? anyone? didn't think so. not even KG wants to post up anymore. NUFF SAID>

[Mattybriand]

Danny C'mon man :/


that is all...
