Harangody mentioned as shining star of the draft

[lon3lytoaster]

Good article here from yahoo sports..

Only makes a slight mention of Luke, but its very positive and has his stats for anyone who hadnt seen what they were.

something around 16.6 points a game and 50% 3-point shooting..

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AjY_rvUKz8ZwLEH0FInu9Aa8vLYF?slug=mc-summerleague071810

Let's not forget how much faster he can grow on the celtics than he could on most teams. If he needs advice on his 3's, just ask ray-ray, need help with low-post defense/offense, ask KG, wanna learn how to be a playmaker? talk to pierce and rondo.. Lets hope this kid gets some minutes early on and shines.. could end up being a nice addition off the bench.

Or he could just be the crappy token white guy for the celtics but lets hope not

Oh yeah it's just that easy... hey Ray, help me out with my 3 point shot can you? If only Rondo was smart enough to do that.

Rondo had more threes in game 7 than Ray did... 

Could of made him a legend, too.. If it wasn't for Ron Ar-freakin-Test.

*still dwelling in the past*

C'mon Ray injuries and he was playing Kobe on Defense which explains missing 18 straight 3's.

Lost by 4...

I’m just teasing.

But that three by Rondo really shows how clutch he actually is.

I was agreeing with you via sarcasm.  The poster commented that it would be so hard for Ray to help Gody with his 3 pt shot as if it's creating a new source of energy or something (while making a off handed comment about RR) and you rightfully commented on Rays lack marksmanship and how RR actually shot better from 3 in the most important game of the year.  Nothing explains missing 18 straight 3's except choking.

Oh ok.. so one bad series, while injured and covered by Kobe all of a sudden Ray Allen is a scrub who cant make a three?

Are you kidding?

He's still one of the greatest, clutch 3-point shooters in the league. To act like he has nothing to offer a young player is pretty stupid imo

[steelbos]

If we can resign Daniels then I see 10-12 minutes of playing time for Gody at SF. If he can drop 15 pounds he will get quicker, which he didn't look too slow in Summer League. He is smart enough to learn the defense and will have no problem with effort.

Here's the issue with LH.  The more he stays on the floor, the more he will get exposed defensively.  I watched alot of Big East basketball and his defense is atrocious.  Alot of matador in him.  He is an effort guy for sure but there is no way he can gaur the 3 position in the NBA.  Simply put I saw Herb Hill, Geoff McDermott, and Greedy Peterson simply score at will off LH.  Who are these guys you ask?  Exactly my point.

[boscel33]

will he get exposed defensively?  now, i am NOT saying he is larry legend, but larry was not a great defender one on one, but played greate team d.  that is what the c's are based on, team d.  i'll bet this guy sees more pt by the end of the year than bbd.  reason, he won't have rebounds knocked out of his hands like bbd does.  that is so frustrating!

I know, I know -- they're PC Friars!.

Seriously though, PC runs hot and cold on offense and ND was not a stellar defensive team.  I wouldn't use PC's scoring as a basis on which to judge Luke.  Besides, Hill, Mcdermott and especially Peterson scored on a lot of players.

I think you just made jv2764's point.  If he suffered defensively against good college players, he will suffer more against pro players.  On the other hand, if those college players were not good offensively, then you would not be able to draw any conclusion about LH's defensive ability.  In other words, LH's defensive liability is proven agaisnt good players.

Any thought of LH getting 10-12 minutes per game is a pipe dream.  The simple fact is that if the C's are to make a run this season (which means beating out Orlando and Miami among many others) they need another EXPERIENCED AND LEGITIMATE wing player.

No disagreement with the need for legit wing players.  Luke isn't what we need there as the primary backup but I think he'll surprise some people and stick with the team and the league for awhile. 
My point about the PC players is that no matter who they played they were either hot or cold to the point where they were either too hot for anyone to stop or they were so cold you didn't need to try to stop them.  The point would have been more valid if a more consistant team was used as an example.

[jv2764]

Hot or cold?  So there is never a middle ground?  I guess you lost me with that logic.  It just seems to me whenever PC played ND the player who LH was guarding was extremely hot that night and LN inevitablly ended up in foul trouble.  I'm just saying.

[Birdbrain]

All valid concerns but they need scoring more than they defense.  NDs whole team was garbage on defense because Brey doesn't really stress it.  In the right system surrounded by better defenders can  make even the worst defenders adequate.

How about an injury (to your thigh)? Ray choking? Please.

I actually got the best comparison for this kid and that is Linas Kleiza. Same type of player.

I would like to have Kleiza in the celts team right now. But we have a guy similiar in Harangody.

He may be a better pick than Avery if Avery can't put it all together

Are you kidding me?!?

Didn't get to see too many games. But you got to be impressed by the type of shots he made during this clip. He has a strange looking shot but gets it off super quickly. Hell some shots he just quickly turned, launched and it was in. He looks like a confident guy. I loved the fakes he pulled on some of his defenders.

I don't think he knows he is not suppose to get those kind shots in
