Good job by the Ainges this year in the draft. B plus grade with Grant, Carsen Edwards, Tremont, and Tacko and Javonte.

 Romeo appears to be the turd in the punchbowl. Indiana fans thought he wasn't ready. Weak attitude. I really dislike the guy.

 Brandon Clarke is pretty good already. 11 PPG and 5.5 RPG shooting .607% from the field. That's not an abberation either.

 He was top 10 in the history of college basketball in FG%. Tacko is #1. His floater game is the best I have ever seen for a big man.

 Romeo I hope you hear this message. And prove me wrong, but with guys like Clarke, Sekou, and Naw on the board your not in the same class as those guys.

 Add to that we resign Brown. Hayward is back to All Star level and Tatum is the franchise. What was the point?

This was a stacked draft and I think Ainge picked pretty well in the second round, but I agree that Langford was a pretty egregious pick considering the talent picked around him was A. Equally good, and B. Had none of the question marks he presents regarding effort, commitment, shot-mechanics, or toughness/durability. 

But that's Ainge in a nutshell, he falls in love with players for better or worse... At least he's occasionally picking legit flamethrowers like Carsen Edwards now instead of complete busts like Demetrius Jackson, James Young, Jordan Mickey, Guershon Yabusele, R.J Hunter, Ben Bentil, Kadeem Allen, Jabari Bird etc.

Instead of replying to some of the silly posts, I just remember that there were people this summer suggesting ridiculous trade scenarios to get Hayward out of town.

His stat sheet shows zero minutes played in an NBA regular season game. But we know he's a bust. Come on. Give the kid at least half a chance.

Where is our number one pick? With Gordon out this would be the perfect time for him to get some run...

He might get called up now that Hayward is injured.

Not sure how much he actually faced him, but it seems likely that Zhaire Smith was matched up with Langford. That's a legit NBA athlete and a player the Sixers hope can be a defensive stopper.

I only watched half the game, but to me it looked like Romeo was an NBA player playing against a bunch of non-NBA players.
