So Tommy Amaker tried to recruit Williams for Harvard. And the kid goes on to be a first team all American.  And Jaylen will be his teammate.  I'm intrigued.  A 2-time SEC Player of the Year does not suck.

I do think the Baynes trade signals every report is true - Kyrie AND Horford 100% gone from here.

Williams is 6'7.5 with shoes on no? I mean that's small for a PF but it isn't 6'5 levels of bad lol.
with a 6'11" wing span. and he is very strong. i think we all will like williams after we see him play.
6'9.75 at the combine, not 6'11.

He was 6'5.75 without shoes. He must have had his Timberlands on for the w/shoes measurement.

He got overwhelmed at times by bigger more athletic college big men.

Just a horrible pick. Great kid, I hope for the best for him, but I can't believe we took him in the 1st round. Terribly undersized and no perimeter game.

Agreed, Celtics are going in a different direction....

yeah, at this point, any hopes to keep them were just pipe dreams.

Looks pretty pretty good..feel a little better. Smart and Romeo will be a good defensive force it seems.

Williams is 6'7.5 with shoes on no? I mean that's small for a PF but it isn't 6'5 levels of bad lol.
With nearly a 7-foot wingspan.

I love Williams but that wingspan stat is way wrong...

Grant Williams
Standing Reach – 8′ 8.5″

Body Fat Percentage – 5.4%

Hand Length – 9 inches

Hand Width – 10.5 inches

Height without Shoes – 6′ 5.75″

Height with Shoes – 6′ 7.5″

Wingspan – 6′ 9.75″

Standing Vertical Leap – 26.0 inches

Max Vertical Leap – 31.5 inches

Shuttle Run – 3.27 seconds

Lane Agility – 10.83 seconds

Three Quarter Sprint – 3.33 seconds

Max Bench Press – 20

Although the consensus seemed to be that Grant Williams didn’t perform well during scrimmages, the two-time SEC Player of the Year did better than expected with his measureables and testing (though he still didn’t stack up all that great compared to others at his position).

Williams had the best bench press of all the participants at the NBA Draft Combine. It’s worth noting that not all of the players invited participated in all the tests (such as Zion Williamson, Bol Bol, and others), bur Williams’ 20 reps on the bench press were still highly impressive. Williams’ hand width was one of the longest among all the forwards at the combine, and he had the sixth-best time in the lane agility testing among all forwards.

As for the downsides, there were several. Williams’ wingspan wasn’t impressive, nor were his measurements in both vertical leaps. His shuttle run and three quarters run times were both on the slower side, too.

Overall, it appeared by most people’s analysis who were at the combine that Williams might’ve slipped down draft boards ever so slightly, but he’s still likely a first-round pick, though there’s still some argument there. His supposed slippage makes his decision to remain in the draft a little more perplexing, but it’s also worth noting that he probably couldn’t improve on many (if any) of his deficiencies with another year of college.

Bobby Marks just tweeted that if they renounce Rozier they'll have 34 million in cap space.  What's that get you?

traded 30 to Cavs. So no.  Cavs probably won't take Bol so he slips to round 2

Guess who D'Angelo Russell liked in his IG post lol...

Man, I think there's starting to be some significant smoke about Russell potentially to the C's. This is what I posted in the Baynes to the Suns thread.

Here's what's really interesting about the Suns trade - they were a suitor for Russell in free agency. However, now they don't have the cap space to sign him.

We may be targeting Russell as a free agent this summer.

Moving Baynes and renouncing the rest of their free agents could get Celtics to as much as $34m in space but Boston must decide on future of players like Rozier to get there.

Cap space in Phoenix now is at a projected $14M after the Boston trade to acquire Aron Baynes and the rights to Ty Jerome.

Yeah, my bad. I saw 6-11 somewhere, but that seems to be an approximation before the combine

i have been watching videos of him. they are highlight reels, but he is a good basketball player. he passes really well too.

Based on getting rid of our veterans and replacing them with bad draft picks, I'd say about 35 wins, unless Hayward and Tatum play out of their minds.
