2024 NBA draft:

[libermaniac]

Brad Stevens is too nice. Blew a golden opportunity to p--- the Lakers off.

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Seems like a good system fit to me. Probably not great upside, but who knows.

[celticinorlando]

Def like the bench better than before the draft with

Sam
Pp
BS
Walsh
Watson

Need to add two bigs and maybe a vet wing

[liam]

Watson seems interesting.... He should cause havoc in Maine.

watson is a 6'8" PF from gonzaga.

41.2% 3 pt shooter, joe will be happy.
7.1 rbs/g
2.6 assts/g

Very low volume of shots, however.  If he can feel comfortable shooting more frequently, that would be good.   My guess is he passes up anything that isn?t a perfect look.  Something to work with, but probably not a usable NBA skill today yet.

Liam just died inside.

Outside too....

Anton Watson

Measured 6′ 7.50? barefoot, 8′ 9.00? standing reach, 233.4 lbs, 7′ 0.00? wingspan, 27 standing vert, 32.5 max vert at the 2024 NBA G-League Combine

not a consistent ft shooter, shot but 40%  from 3 last year

don't need Bronnie drama

[goCeltics]

should have a good summer league team

[Atzar]

Anton Watson doesn't sound like a rotation guy to me.  But there's value in a third-string guy who can be a strong defender and glue guy when called upon.  If his defensive ability translates, that's a decent pick. 

[knuckleballer]

Another 5 year player who will be 24 to start the season.  Not much upside, but might be able to help soon.  It?s all about maximizing our chances over the next few years.  It?s not an exciting pick, but it makes sense.

[ozgod]

Can?t expect much from a 54 pick, if they work out and even become a decent replacement level player great, if not it?s no big loss.

And to nobody?s surprise Bronny goes to the Fakers

I wonder if Bronny is embarrassed.

I know. Horrible parenting - such blatant nepotism. I?m embarrassed for their whole family.

[libermaniac]

On the bright side, with two 5 year 23 year old draft picks summer league success is right around the corner.
