What if Ainge trades for Love and has assets left over which allow him to maneuver into a position where he also drafts Ellenson or Zimmerman?
I think Zimmerman would be a better fit with Love, because he's more athletic. More potential as a rim protector/better ability to guard on the perimeter.

Living in Vegas I have seen Zimmerman play quite abit. He will be a much better defender and more agile than Love will ever be but he will never be the offensive player that Love is. I see his ceiling more like the game of Lamarcus Aldridge.
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

interesting comparison.  Zimmerman needs to beef up though

Kid is going to rise in the draft per combine measurements/tests and individual workouts.  I can see Danny grabbing him even with the Mavs pick.  High ceiling

He had an ok freshman year. Some super games. But overall nothing great. Ellenson had a more consistent freshman year

BUT if Zimmerman cameback next season beefed up and hungrier , could be great and go top 10 in the 2017 draft

So this is the risk Danny needs to determine

Zimmerman game clip.  This guy is long and pretty athletic

12 pts/12 reb/4blocks vs Oregon (also some nice passes.  Ability to guard out to the perimeter)

Not sure what it is, but reminds me of Mchale
