A left-handed 6'9" ripped to the bone shooting guard with some serious skills...wow!

I hope Danny takes a strong hard look at this guy as a replacement for Ray Allen.

Maybe by being with KG, Ray, and Paul he will stay on the straight and narrow.

I wouldn't mind it. Guys with backgrounds like his seem to either grow up fast or never grow up. It looks like he has taken the steps towards becoming an adult and he seems to have some real upside and skills. Never seen him play im just going by what I have read etc...  I see the Celts as only needing another big man mainly, so if one of decent talent is not available at our pick then maybe this could be the guy.

Though I don't see his name on any of the mock draft sites, so maybe he isn't really all that talented?  Someone would take a second round flyer on him if he had the talent i would think...

They looked at Lenny Cooke, so why not this guy?  But I certainly wouldn't waste a draft pick on him. If he is interested in Boston as an undrafted free agent, like Brandon Wallace, that's fine.

Undrafted pickup in camp sounds to be worth a look.

Take a look, sure. But he has had more legal trouble than the average rapper.

From what I heard, he didn't blow anyone away in the predraft camp.  My guess is someone takes a chance on him in the second round...

Let Danny work him out. If Danny thinks he is pro material then take a gamble. I trust Dannys drafting abilities to the fullest. If he doesnt get too much hype he might be there at the end of the draft as well.

While he certainly is an interesting character  ;)

he does have a couple things going against him in Danny's eyes. There are the IQ concerns as well as length concerns (short arms) add these to the rap sheet and you might come up with a camp invitee.

I tend to root for the underdog, so I hope this guy gets a chance. Sounds like he's been out of trouble for almost a year, so who knows?

I'd take a shot at him with pick #60. It really cant hurt.

Invite him to the summer league but don't spend a draft pick on him........ you have to think of his influence on our younger guys such as Big baby and Pruitt, so this may be dangerous

Low BB IQ is a concern, we saw how that effects players like GG who had the lowest BB IQ I have ever seen.

So, is this guy being invited to our free-agent rookie camp? He went undrafted right?

I dunno, I went undrafted and I haven't heard the phone ring yet, c'mon Danny, 5'9 point-forwards are the future of the NBA

I vote no on this guy because he ran from the cops and got caught.  That does not show a championship level of willpower.
