The Danny Ainge Type

[Big333223]

I'm pretty sure I've seen a post like this in the past but I had to laugh when Ainge drafted an athletic PG with questionable shooting skills and not one but TWO undersized-but-strong PF's.

Demetrius Jackson joins a club that includes Marcus Smart, Rajon Rondo, Gabe Pruit, and Terry Rozier (along with honorary member Avery Bradley, who is a SG in a PG's body).

Bentil and Yabusele can now count themselves among the likes of Brandon Hunter, Ryan Gomes, Leon Power, Luke Harangody, Glen Davis and Jared Sullinger.

You know it's a pretty un-Ainge like Draft when people are complaining about holes in a mid-second round pick's game and saying that taking a Euro at #16 is typical Ainge

So,much more,could have been done by trading the pick to help the team

Ainge is a bone head.


He totally botched the whole deal last night .

I'm beginning to think Danny is a bit overrated when it comes to drafting. And it seems he has had enough success in trading where teams are leery about trading with him. Maybe that's a perception. But his draft record isn't very good.

He's still living on the Allen/KG trades and the Nets heist of picks. And his first use of those picks is open to question.

Danny has improved in drafting ever since the fab melo mistake

Even learning from james young mistake

Every pick last night have nba calibre bodies and at least one or two nba level skills. 

In the past he may draft guys with only upside (underdeveloped body and skills) but rarely do these type of players pan out

Lets not forget he considered austin ainge and cbs opinions also
