NBA Scouts Love Tremont Waters

[shut_the_gate]

Boston chose guard Tremont Waters with the 51st overall pick in the draft, a selection many wrote off as nothing more than a second-round flier. And although Waters has spent a majority of his rookie season playing in the NBA G League, the LSU product apparently is generating significant interest among NBA scouts and front offices.

@KeithSmithNBA

One last name that came up repeatedly talking to front office executives and scouts about the G-League Showcase: Tremont Waters. Water is on a Two-Way with Boston. "He's an NBA backup PG right now. I told our GM to trade for him, because he's better than what we have today."

Lastly on Tremont Waters from a scout: "I missed on him. Big time. Thought was too small for our league. But he's tough and fast. I don't know what he'll be beyond it, but he's an NBA backup point guard at least. And that's valuable because everyone plays three PGs a night now."

Great! Let’s trade him while his value is high then

Waters was the only pick i like out of the 4

Ha ha!

Of course, the article includes the comment from another team exec:  "We'd ask, but Boston wouldn't listen."

Implying as desirable as Tremont might be, Danny's expected price may be too high.

Easy to understand why.  I love watching Tremont play.   He's so tough and fearless and one of the most creative play-makers I've ever seen coming out of college.

We have PG covered with Kemba, Marcus and Wanamaker for this year. How much is value and who would want him.
I would trade him to GSW for WCS.

Funny how many are coming around to what I, and a few others, thought when we saw him in the preseason  .

Anyway, I'm not trading him at all right now.  I  have no idea about the contract situation but if he's as good as I think he is, Waters is my third guard next year.

trade Wannamaker keep  IT2.0 ...Danny is no fool , he can see how cool Waters is on the floor ,  natural PG .  Keep him long as you can

Keep the better of Romeo / Edwards

Was for edwards , now leaning toward Romeo ....Romeo got lenght , speed , quickness and like ET seems to operate in the paint with confidence .

A really really great center like KAT is gonna take giving up like Smart ,Brown , Hayward

Waters and Romeo would be a nice second backcourt.

I guess there are contractual reasons not to give him a deal during the season this year....ability wise...I certainly would.  I think he's good enough that he could help the C's in the playoffs.  I think he's better than Wannamaker overall.  You never know...injuries happen...if a trade allowed us to change Waters' status this season I'd be very psyched.

agreed on next year.  I see Wanamaker moving on for more money.  Waters steps into that backup role nicely next year -- provided Danny doesn't land a PG stud in the first round in the coming draft with what's looking like 3 picks

As they should! He looks legit as a backup already, which is awesome for a 51st pick, or whatever he was. Hopefully he gets some run with us next year (can’t see him jumping Wana, and don’t want any more injuries)

[mrceltics2013]

Tre, Mem, and rob3 for Bagley 😁

[Sophomore]

Waters was the only pick i like out of the 4

Rewatch Romeo’s clips from the last two games. If he stays healthy (which I think he will) you may feel better about him.

[NKY fan]

what are we gonna do with all these young players next year?

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Celtics have the brightest future of anyone in the NBA. Seriously, they are the youngest team in the NBA (look it up) and have a lot of young developing talent.

Tatum and Brown, obviously
Williams, Williams, Langford, Waters, and Edwards are all probably legit NBA rotation players. Great drafting.

I agree on Waters. He's a good player. He might be starting for like 5 teams in the NBA and is probably better than half the backups.
