Danny loved Smart YEARS before being drafted

Stumbled across this article this morning to work

https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2015/06/20/celtics-did-their-homework-before-drafting-marcus-smart/QQD84kt35xUb4YZ4vhNM4M/story.html

a few quotes caught my eye

In Smart’s second workout, his competitive fire was apparent. He had something to prove.

“I was getting to the rim, making shots, playing defense,” he said. “I made my dominance known.”

Said Danny Ainge: “Our staff was not on the same page before that. His second workout allowed us to collectively and unanimously be on the same page.”

“Whoever you put in front of me, I’m not going to back down,” he said that day. “I’ve never backed down from a challenge.”

it's a good read

anybody that thinks marcus ankle didn't effect his explosiveness needs to watch these videos- and then watch him struggle on break away with dunk over the back of his head ,almost missed it
