SIZE-ing up the Celtics and ranking the draft.

[Darth_Yoda]

Well, we are small. (as of November 19, 2020 at 8am EST) very small.

Tremont Waters - 5'10 (PG)
Carsen Edwards - 5'11 (PG)
Kemba Walker - 6' (PG)
Payton Pritchard - 6'1 (PG)
Yam Madar - 6'3 (PG)

Brown - 6'6 (SG/SF)
Romeo - 6'4 (SG/SF)
Smart - 6'5 (PG/SG)

Hayward - 6'7 (SF)

Tatum - 6'8 (PF/SF)
Grant W - 6'6 (PF/C)

Theis - 6'8 (C/PF)
Timelord - 6'8 (C)
Tacko Fall - 7'6 (C)

Pathetic.


14 - Nesmith. - B+ pick. Nesmith is potentially the best shooter in the draft. He only can shoot, but we need some elite skills on the team. He has it. Wouldnt have complained with Hampton here, but am happy with Nesmith.

26 - Pritchard - D pick. Way too much of a reach. This was an attempt at a draft for need, which is always the WRONG thing to do. Pritchard has some skills but is small, unathletic, and is older than anyone else that could have been taken here by a large margin. Was drafted about 20 picks too soon. Flynn, Terry, Winston, Maledon, Tre, Mannion all ranked ahead of him.

30 - Traded. Who knows about this.

47 - Yam Madar. Draft and Stash. Was basically a throw away pick. Yam may make it to the NBA someday, but it wont be soon,. Passed on some players that could have contributed immediate.

Team needs in draft.
Shooting off bench - Check
Backup Point Guard - Check
Size - Failure.
