Should Jordan Walsh make the roster?

[slamtheking]

I?d take Walshy over Baylor. Least Jordan can play defense. He shot the 3 ball reasonably well last year in the G-League and he?s still young.

does he though?  not any better than Baylor based on yesterday's game.

Have you watched more than one game?

have you?  oh that's right, you think Joe's a great coach.

He?s good enough!

I think it's pretty significant that Baylor is 25 and Jordan is 21.  Neither has impressed but given that there is at least some dispute over who has performed better, the edge regarding which to keep (if it was a choice) has to go to Walsh IMO.

  I think it was a good point that Schierman has been playing like it?s his 3 that will earn him a spot when that?s only true to a degree. He has the potential to be able to put a few dribbles down unlike Hauser so we envisioned him to maybe be able to create just a bit . Nothing crazy but just use the shot as a threat, get a step , 1 or two dribbles and pass and keep the d trying to catch up. He hasn?t done that. I still THINK he can . But I could be wrong and that Carson Edward?s comparison would maybe be a good one

Unless there is a better developmental player you can get in place of him, what?s the point in getting rid of him? This is THE year for players on the NBA edge in a Celtics uniform to show they can grow and that they belong in the league. The organization has invested some in him, might as well see that through. Personally I still something there from the 21 year old. If the game slows down for him and he can develop a bit more touch on his passing and shooting he has value.

 I?m with Who. I like him better than Baylor. Walsh?s classic 3 and D potential is more useful than Baylor?s potential microwave role. In fact I?m growing to hate Baylors game. He plays like he?s an Alpha but he?s so inconsistent and unathletic that it?s a detriment. He shows flashy promise but it?s fools gold. I hated playing with guys like him, make an occasional highlight play and therefore have the ball in his hands but the overall product is inefficient and takes away from the players around him.

Completely agree. Walsh has more upside.

If we're talking Walsh or Baylor, heck, I'm punting both.  Anoth missed draft opp with Baylor.  I would rather have had JD on the team than either of them.  I mean, Kyle Filipowski was right there 6'11" guy who can stretch the floor.  What is it with Boston teams, seems they've lost the ability to draft over recent years.  They tend to overthink the pcik.

Scheierman really isn't up for debate, as his contract is guaranteed this season.  The team isn't just going to eat his salary to open up a roster spot.

Also, BS has at least showed some flashes of being a useful NBA player.  I hope I'm wrong on Walsh, but I haven't seen those flashes.

we might want to be patient and see whether the celtics can develop scheierman's skills.

as a comparison, hauser debuted as a rookie at 24 years old. the same age as scheierman. in their rookie seasons they had comparable stats.

0.4 apg
.432 3point% (hauser is really, really good at this)

Those 3PT% are not comparable and Sam?s defense is light years better.
