Marcus Garrett, my draft binkie this year, looks like an NBA player. Too bad Miami will probably give him a two way contract.

Yeah, I’m not thrilled with some of the names on the C’s summer league roster. Feel like there werebetter prospects out there, Garett being one of them.

Why would Garrett possibly want to come to a Celtics summer league team with Pritchard and Yam already on it?  His goal is to earn an NBA or 2-way deal somewhere, and that wasn’t going to come with the opportunity the Celtics could give him.

Well, Pritchard and Yam are PG’s and Garett is a 6’5” combo guard. Yam is most likely going to be overseas this coming season. C’s only have 1 two way player, so they can add another. Edwards should be cut as well. There’s definitely opportunity on the C’s.

And Romeo Langford is a 6’5” combo guard.  The Celtics have three players from their NBA roster plus one draftee that play Garrett’s positions.  The Heat have only one.  It would’ve a bad fit for both player and team to have him in summer league.  Also, it’s summer league.  There is no commitment to either side beyond that.

Romeo is 6’4” and is not a combo guard. He’s a wing. C’s should just be trying to add talent for their end of bench/two way player, regardless of position.

The Celtics view Langford as a combo guard and are playing him as such this summer, despite your opinion.

Also, Garrett’s college height is 6’5” — we have no official NBA height since he didn’t go to the combine.  Langford’s college height was 6’6”.

Garrett is a defensive role player that I'd like on a 2 way contract.
That's fair enough, but he would never have come here given he's trying to prove he belongs. To do that he needs the biggest opportunity

Maybe so but I don't think he'll play all that much in Miami.
Probably not, but Miami have one young combo guard (Herro) and little else. We have PP, Romeo, Yam and Bugarinn

Yam and Bugarinn might not play this year and PP is a point. PP can be a shooting guard on offense but not on defense. Romeo is a good defender at the same spot as Garrett but Garrett would be on a two way contract and only play in case of injury, etc.
But these are all people who the Celtics staff want to see play in the Summer League. Hence, there's no opportunity for him here. He would have been silly to look to sign onto our SL roster.

I agree but I'm talking about him on a 2way contract.
Yeah, maybe he would be down for that. But he doesn't seem to be someone we're interested in

Yeah, I think it's just me. ;D

Cade Cunningham vs Jalen Green. Get your popcorn ready..

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

He reminds me of a miniature Pau Gasol. Just the way he moves offensively. Good passer too.

Entertaining matchup between Cade and Jalen. Think Green had a better game overall  and his team got the win.

Cunningham: 20pts, 4rebs, 2ast, 3stl, 4TO, 7pf, 8-18 from the field, 4-9 from 3pt. -8 +/- (no FT attempts)

Green: 25pts, 5rebs, 3ast, 1stl, 4TO, 4pf, 6-11 from the field, 3-5 from 3pt, 10-11 Ft, +17 +/-
