Thoughts on the draft and Celtics picks

[Tr1boy]

1. Some agents are going to get fired if they havent been already.  Dejounte Murray, Skal, Davis are some of the guys that paid the price for not attending the combine and or participating at competitive workouts.  Sorry young players, you are not bigger than a NBA org. Dunn lost a chance to go higher for the same reason

2. This was a wild draft from 9. Most draft mock sites were inaccurate

3. Versatile SF with long wingspan/athletic were considered a premium

3. Unless Danny has a chance to draft a world class talent like Ingram,  the theme for the celtics picks were "strength" "motor" and especially not scared to participate in workouts/competitive workouts

4.  Every player Danny drafted is closer to a NBA body than a "project"

Overall i really like the picks the Celtics made. As well the trade for a future 1st (knowing Dannys luck it will be a 15-17 pick).  Brown and Yabu are high risk, high reward prospects.   Zizic , Jackson, Bentil look like they will become nice rotational players (as soon as next season)

 I'm actually impressed on how Jaylen handled himself without an actual agent. People is laughing right now, but I believe this kid will excel under CBS.

Looks like Danny learned his lessons from that Giannis blunder. This time, he took a gamble on an unknown euro prospects that could be a diamond in a rough. Bummer that they can't play right away, though.

It was a smart move on the 2nd round trade, imo. We already have Jordan Mickey and drafting Davis would be redundant. 2019 could be a better class and we will be using it in the first round as long as the Clippers make the playoffs.

I don't think the last two 2nd round picks will make the team.

It wasn't bad draft for Celtics overall, not dissapointed by the picks more because we didn't trade for Noel. I'm european and we took some euro guys that i have watched so here is my thoughts of the draft:

3# J.Brown  - i still believe that 3-8 on this draft were very similar players. I would trade the 3# for Noel and than try to get #8 from Sac. #16,#23,#31 for #8 and we could get Chriss witch is the guy i wanted. I believe that offer would be enough for Sac. Brown not a bad player i just believe we could get him or Chriss with #7 or #8. The talent Nuggets got on this draft just wow...

#16 Guerschon Yabusele   - same story, we could get him later. Overall very solid player. I didn't watch him a lot just a couple of times and he looks like real deal. Tough, self confident, has nba body and can make shots. I like him

#23 Ante Zizic - I have watched him a lot and i can tell you he can play. Very young but albe to play right away. Only concern over this pick is how he fit with Celtics. He is a more energetic Zeller. Runs the floor very well for big guy and very good offensive player who can make shots inside. But he is a 5 that doesn;t play good defense and not the best shot blocker. I don't think he is a good fit, otherwise very very quality player.

#31 + #35 = future first round is a good deal

#45 Demetrius Jackson  small pointguard with skills, speed and ball handling who slided is a good pick. We didn't need  pg but Jackson at #45 is not bad at all

#51 Ben Bentil - At least we know what kind a players DA and BS are looking for. Another undersized big guy who can shoot and score. He can became B.Bass , also good for #51

#58 Abdel Nader - Honesly, i don't know anything about this guy
