Drew Timme 2nd round steal

 Everytime I watch the Zags to watch Chet, Timme blows me away, not athletic but boy he can play. If he's available in the second round roll the dice with this stud.

Not sure if he would translate to today's NBA. His game reminds of "big Al". But I'd rather take a chance on a Center than a guard any day of  the week. With Yam (guard) and Berg (wing) likely to come over do hope they draft a big even if they go stash again. I'd trade up for Ismael Kamagate. I see big potential in Kamagate.

I love watching Timme and think he will find a way to stick in the NBA at least a few seasons. Not a big fan of player comps but he seems to be cut from the Tyler Hansbrough mold, old school PF who was just born 30 years to late. For the right team he will be a value pick in the late second but I don’t like his fit with the Celtics. The Cs ask to much of their bigs on defense for me to believe Timme ever has a chance to break into the rotation.

Great college player. Don’t think he’s an NBA player the way the league plays now. Might do well
For himself in Europe though.

If he is really 6'-10" as he is listed, he could find a role but if he doesn't improve his 3pt shooting, it will be tough.  It is the role or style of player (skilled PF) that the Celtics need most but I just don't know that he can do it at the NBA level as others have said,

I don’t know if he can play, but Ime won’t play 15 guys, anyway.  I’d draft him just for practice.

 Imagine him as our Garbage man. If he was on the court with Timelord, Timme, Tatum, Brown, Smart just realized we would have three T's. He would be an afterthought and would clean up hes tough and he competes.

 Off the bench, i think hes much better than Theis on offense, and you could rely on him to score some.

Hell of a college player, but I’m not sure his game will translate to the NBA. Similar to Luke Garza last year.

 Don't think that's a good comp. Garza is ten times slower, his feet are stuck in cement. Timme has a chance on defense.

I’m saying that I think he’s another player like Garza who was great in college, but won’t be in the Pro’s. Timme will be lucky to be a Tyler Hansbrough at the next level and he wasn’t very good in the NBA.

Just so I understand since we see about 4-5 of these "__________ is gonna be a 2nd round steal" threads most years, what actually constitutes a 2nd round steal?

-Is it a guy that is good enough to make a bad team's rotation?

-A guy that is good enough to make a good team's rotation?

-A guy that is good enough to make a contender's rotation?

-A guy good enough to start for any team?

-A guy good enough to start for a contender?

If it's any of the last three options, you're lucky to find one of those guys more than once or twice over a 4 year period. Heck, finding a guy that is any of the above in the 2nd round only happens once or twice a year.

So specifically for the Celtics given they are probably going to be contenders for the next few years at a minimum, what would be a 2nd round steal? Does this guy have to be better than what would be considered a steal for say Houston or Orlando?

Just want to know this so I am clear as to what people label a 2nd round steal because, as I see it, the last time there was ANY 2nd round steal may have been in 2018.

Funny post given Garza has been a perfectly competent 3rd string as a rookie. Which is pretty much what most 2nd round pick successes are.

5.2pts, 2.9reb with poor defense and shooting percentages. Yes, sign me up for that.

A "Steal in 2nd round" for me is a guy who cracks a good team's rotation.

There are 5 second round picks from the same draft who score more, all of whom play more minutes (some play significantly more, like Herb Jones). 3 of them do it on worse efficiency than Garza.

So be as snide as you want, Garza is one of the top 2nd round picks of his class.
