Flip flopping back and forth on Celts potential picks
Liking Nesmith and Saddiq Bey at 14
I'm resigned to BPA, as we (and every other team) can always go for another good shooting wing, a multi-positional center and a PG. One of each of those types will be available at 14.
BPA is by definition?
Bc a bpa per skills may have a poor attitude/uncoachable/big headed
I have read there is a little baggage attached to Hampton. Complains calls with refs. Overconfidence. Maybe just a maturity issue
Heard nothing bad about Nesmith and Saddiq Bey.
Bey is an intriguing package. Reminds me a bit of Crowder game but at 6'8. Versatile and solid shooter, ball handler. Nesmith is 6'6 with a 6'10 wingspan. One of the best pure shooters. Comparable to a Mikael Bridges of the Suns
In order to obtain one of these players wouldnt be surprised if Danny packaged one of the other 1st picks, to move up a few spots. Spurs for example need more depth in their lineup.
I like the Bey Crowder comparison, TP, good one, TriBoy.
Hadn't heard that about Hampton having an attitude issue. I think athletically he would fit very well into our team, but don't see him developing for a couple of years. I know we are about winning now, but frankly we could probably afford to draft for the future given roster construct, assuming Hayward opts in and Kemba doesn't break down over next couple of seasons.
Max Carlin thinks Maxey is the perfect fit for Celtics at 14, and would not trade up to take Hayes (who he loves) if he figures Maxey available at 14. He likes Maxey because he excels in midrange game, feels that is a weakness of Celtics. I am not as much a fan of Maxey. I watch the tape, and he seems to be just a tad short of something. He is like a smaller, less athletic Donovan Mitchell, if that makes sense. If he had more burst I'd be more confident taking him at 14.
I think Danny tends to value athleticism when in doubt (Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier e.g.), so would not be surprised if he took Hampton at 14. He is very athletic. Or Kira Lewis, also very fast twitch guy. Could see it coming down to those two, assuming they are both available at 14.
