I have this theory that DA was influenced greatly by Doc Rivers during Doc River's tenure here in Boston?

Maybe those draft picks which did not pan out really were Doc's choices? And the serviceable/great ones were Ainge's?

If Doc River's was still here would we have drafted KO? Sully, i think was Ainge's choice, but he was pinned to the bench by Doc Rivers or a long time. Same with Bradley.

i had a ton of issues with Doc and not playing young players, but Sully and Bradly both were pinned to the bench by injury, up to and including surgery.

Bradley, even during his 2010-2011 season, didn't have much playing time.

Let's go after Doc's head for that! Nah but real talk...eww Doc Rivers.

Doc said one of the reasons he chose the Clips is having a huge say when it comes to personnel movement that he did not have in the past. So no, I don't think Doc had a huge influence on who Danny would draft.

Agreed. As much as I like a good conspiracy theory/Doc shaming, I don't think there's much to this.

If there's one player you can't say Doc neglected, it's Bradley.  No other player who looked as bad as Bradley did when came into the league got 10% as much run as Doc gave Bradley.  Granted, Bradley needed some injuries to finally get the minutes he needed to adjust to the NBA but it's hard to fault Doc for not giving more minutes to a player who looked like hot garbage as often as Bradley did.
