Terrico White to the Celtics?

[JoeRowe23]

Okay I love Ray he can not score off the dribble well so why would we draft Anderson who is just the same. I like Terrico White much better. It feels like Terrico White is being slept on. Now they list him at 6’5 and while I’m not sure accurate that is I do know he plays big. This kid has it all. He has explosiveness on the dribble, the ability to run off screens, the heart very fearless competitor, a set of one-on-one moves and a nice stroke from different ranges. The kid has 40 inch vertical hops and a 6’9 arm span for defense.

Now he is not Ray Allen, but he can create his own shot off the dribble which is always a plus. White and rondo will be a backcourt of demon like speed in th future and close to unstoppable. Both can play off each other and add the flare and physicality this Celtics team is known for. A lot of people have been over looking this kid. I feel he has major potential and seeing how he will drop down in the draft why not strike? His problem seems to be around trying to hit the homerun all the time.

But those problems can be buffered out when you have one of the best three point shooters in the history of the league and team full of veterans to mold him. Perkins has voice through ESPN he would love to have the young country boy on their team but its up to Danny. For those who need a look at what he can offer check out this video of him and Dwyane Wade in college, their sort of simlar.

ya i really like him too

i want the C's to pick up one more 1st rounder and pick two of the four following players:

terrico white
hassan whiteside
jordan crawford
gani lawal

White is the type of guy I could really see Danny liking.  He is a bit of a tweener, but he seems to be a real basketball player.  While he is not my top choice, I would be perfectly fine with the C's taking him.  Same goes for Jordan Crawford, who I think is similar.

[JoeRowe23]

Yeah i really hope we can get him, he's exactly what we need. He's a player who can create his own shoot off the dribble and can be our go-to guy when Pierce retires

Bad fit next to Rondo. Not as effective or consistent when he doesn't control the ball.

[ManUp]

He's one of 5 guys I wouldn't mind seeing the Celtics end up with. Terrico White, Stanley Anderson, Damion James, Larry Sanders, and Hassan Whiteside would all be solid picks, IMO.  the common theme, with the exception of Anderson, is athleticism and upside. I think White would be a nice fit coming off the bench as a combo guard who is adequate for either guard position. Probably not with the 19th, but he's definitely an interesting prospect.

Well, I think he would be more of a combo guard off the bench.  I think he could learn to play off the ball a bit, but his real value would be as a backup to Rondo more than anything.

Well, I think he would be more of a combo guard off the bench.  I think he could learn to play off the ball a bit, but his real value would be as a backup to Rondo more than anything.

In that case I'd rather see them pick up a big at 19 and resign Nate.

I don't really like any of the big guys in this draft. None are really work the 19th other then Hassan Whiteside. Even if you did get him he would have to play PF in the future unless they plan on getting rid of perkins which I don't see happening. He's just to good of a post defender. I would rather get a sg that can move with out the ball and become a go to scorer like Pierce in the future. Terrico can do all this and has some tremendus upside.

There are plenty of bigs with upside who will be left at 19, many projections have guys like Alabi and Orton around then. I don't think they should be looking for a replacement  for perk either, but rather a big they can groom behind KG. I like Terrico's upside a lot too, and if the C's wanted to buy another pick and get him I'd be all for it, but I think a young big is of gretaer priority, especially when it's easy to get a young wing in the draft than it is a starter calibre big, and the next wing would probably fit better next to rondo than Terrico.

I age but know have that kind of size and shooting you would look for in a 4. The only one seem to be going early in the draft. Nor do the bigs have size to battle with leangth like the lakers. I will argee that wing player are easy to come by but nothing jumps out at me. I feel like Terrico could be the next big time shooting guard. What big would you get with the 19th?

[Atzar]

This kid should be a lottery pick.  He has the tools and the skillset.  His size is acceptable at the 2, and he's quick enough to play PG on defense.  He has good form on his shot and a lot of range, and he has a good enough handle to get to the rim whenever he wants, along with the strength and body control to finish through contact.  

There's just something missing so far.  He has tunnel vision, to start with - he can handle well enough to play the point, but he won't make his teammates better as a ball distributor.  He's a better fit as a 2.  While he can get to the rim at will, he doesn't.  Instead of finishing and drawing fouls like he can, he'll just put up contested jumpers.  In a lot of ways, he reminds me uncomfortably of Pruitt - a player with all of the tools to be successful but is too passive on the court to put it all together.

In general, I wouldn't be unhappy if we drafted him - he needs to be more assertive on the court, and he needs to learn when to pass the ball instead of hoisting low-percentage shots.  He'll also need to make a full defensive commitment if he's to make it on this team.  If everything falls into place for him though, he can be a very good player - an above average starter, perhaps even an All-Star in a particularly good year.  But thus far, that's looked like a big 'if.'

I see what you man. I thinkthough everything deopends on your team when it comes to player. Nate's a great exapmle. He was a headache in New York, nothing but a annoyance. But towards the end at boston he changed into a role player and a true back up point guard. The C's have veterens, thats why I'm not so worried about what guard they draft. With meaningful playing time on the roster a player can grow. Gabe never really had that chance but with Ray ner the end of his career Terrico could get that type of time, know what I mean?

If the C's finally have only the 19th spot, they should go for a big.
