Romeo Langford(merged threads)

[shut_the_gate]

I remember hearing Kevin O'Connor talking about Langford and he essentially said that Ainge drafted him with the knowledge that he is a long term prospect who at the moment isn't ready for NBA minutes, so my guess is that Romeo will spend most of his time this season in Maine.

True.

One scenario is the Celts trading Smart and Brown for a guy like Beal or Love.

That will open up some minutes for Langford.

But on the intended topic, I agree with others...he’s gonna be in Maine for a few months, with callups here and there. With luck we will be resting guys in the last couple weeks of the season and he will throw up one of those 20 point garbage games that gets everyone excited for next year.

At least Ainge knows what's he dealing with lol,  I was worried that he thought Langford was good enough to be thrown to the wolves immediately.

Wherefore, Romeo, art thou a wing?
Defy thy genes and grow six inches.
Or if thou wilt not, be instead a shooter of renown,
Or you’ll no longer be a Celtic.
‘Tis Two Jays who are your enemies -
Though wait, there’s Marcus Smart,
And Brother Hayward too, jealous of their time
Upon the court, already gladdening the eye
Of Stevens and of Ainge. O be some other name.
What’s in a name? That which we call a wing
Could be a shooting guard, or forward small;
Were not the game itself renewed, or in its latter days.
Thou art thyself, thou drivest with either hand
And left or right, no matter, that hand finisheth anon.
But O, that paint, protected from floor to rim
By stalwart giants, long and scowling, when
And if you venture there. Take your reps, lose that hitch, and
Find a stroke! If you’re to claim a place in the rotation.

TP for the poetry. Or Romeo can develop guard skills ala Harden to be Walker's successor

To be or not to be a point guard - there’s a question.

🎯

To be or not to be a point guard - there’s a question.

I think he has the potential to be one. He's got good ball handling skills and a good pick and roll game as a ballhandler.

[Fierce1]

I don't see Romeo as a PG.

He has the perfect attributes for a SG.

You get credit for posting about actual basketball, beyond the statistics and speculation, ignoring the gossip, and staying out of the groupthink echo chambers.

This is from yesterday:

Rookies Grant Williams, Romeo Langford, Carsen Edwards, Tremont Waters and Tacko Fall have spent much of the summer in Boston, working out together and trying to get a crash course on what awaits them with the Celtics.

They often have been joined by the team’s coaches, as well as some veterans, such as former All-Star Gordon Hayward. Hayward’s decision to train in Boston rather than going to his summer home in San Diego has been well documented.

I love hearing news like this. The difference in team chemistry this season should be night and day. keep this group together, Danny.

I remember hearing Kevin O'Connor talking about Langford and he essentially said that Ainge drafted him with the knowledge that he is a long term prospect who at the moment isn't ready for NBA minutes, so my guess is that Romeo will spend most of his time this season in Maine.

Can you name any Celtic "draft projects" since after the 60's dynasty years who turned into important players by their 3d or 4th year for us ? Meaning guys we drafted and who stayed with the team (Boston or Maine) and eventually became a starter or 6th or 7th man after some development.

We didn't draft Kuberski, did we ? Glen McDonald came in and got us over the hump in the third overtime, Game 5, 1976, but he was always marginal as I remember. Gerald Henderson, Perk maybe ....... to qualify, they have to have mostly sat their initial seasons.
