Wish List

[rollie mass]

Vincent Poirier at 7-1 is even better than his tapes
Romeo at 6-6 6-11 wingspan becomes the player so highly lauded before his injury.Romeo grows an inch.
Robert Williams plays with the energy and vision of Summer League
Kanter puts energy into defense and  kills the offensive board.
Marcus Smart keeps hitting threes
Semi offense turns the corner
Hayward plays with a chip on his shoulder and all is forgiven
Tacko gets a spot and sells out RED CLAW home games.
Thies get back his pre injury lift.
Carson Edwards is as effective as his March Madness and Summer League leads us to believe he will be.
Grant  is smart and strong-he is going to need it

[footey]

Poirier also has a 9'6" standing reach, according to the Celtics. That is impressive.

  I just want Brad to make a clear pecking order. Kemba then Hayward. Wishing for a Kemba, jaylen, Tatum, Hayward, kanter starting and finishing lineup.

Please no more comments about how many points a player expects himself to get.

There are always questions about any team but my wish (top of list) is that one of our obscure bigs after Kanter (Williams, Ojeleye, Poirier, Theis, Fall, ...) emerges as a big surprise.

I think we are going to be fine everywhere else.  Walker, Smart, Brown, Tatum, Hayward, are all going to do what they do and I expect good things from all of them (I put Kanter in that class as well, he is what he is; fine, good but not great).  If one of Wannamaker, Edwards, Langford, GWill surprise and play a meaningful role, great, glad to have it, but we don't need it nearly as much (it won't be as big an impact) as a surprise from one of the obscure bigs.

I agree.  I'm looking at Poirier as the sleeper.

Romeo already has good height and length for a shooting guard. I'm curious to why you are hoping he continues to grow.  Is there some indication that he might still be growing?

He is still 19 and it was a last minute thought.

[ETNCeltics]

My wish list is simple: Jayson Tatum takes a huge leap towards recognizing his potential.

He may be the foundation of everything we do the next several years, I hope he can show a greater degree of that potential this year.

Everything else can have a big impact on this season, but what happens with Tatum could very well impact what happens here the next decade.

Poirier is an interesting guy. He looks to have a some ambidexterity, might become a viable center.

I agree.  I'm looking at Poirier as the sleeper.

He would be a sleeper all right.  I have actually thought it would be Ojeleye who could improve his shot just enough to stay on the court more and contribute more.  I feel he is very close.  Poirier at his size though has the potential to make a bigger impact but I just have no idea what level he is at.

Pass that growth spurt along to Grant Williams! He’s the one that needs it the most. He’s just 20, is there any hope? /jk>

That ship has sailed.

I expect a 2016/17 type of a season, with a trip to the finals, and anything is possible from there

[Wretch]

I'd be happy if GW picked up a couple of inches on his vertical without losing his strength rather than grow.

[Silky]

A clear pecking order with an eye on the future.

Kemba
Tatum
Brown

Smart continues to grow as a player and further improves on his shooting.
tatum shows he can play PF fulltime.
Poirier becomes steven adams
Robert williams takes a big step forward.

All of Theis, Hayward, Kanter raise trade values to high enough levels to be package for a star player.

Romeo langford doesnt completely suck

[Birdman]

Wish we win championship
