I think he is better than a good number of first round picks.  I think the Celtics (who by the way wanted him in camp last fall after his play on the summer squad)  will give him a close look.  My question is can he play any 2 guard or is he only a 3 at this point?

I think he's more of a 4 than a 3, so I doubt he can play any 2 guard.  I think he's closer to a more athletic Harangody than "like Jeff Green, but not as good".  I'm not sure what the chances are for an undersized power forward whose best offense is mid-range jumpers and who reportedly lacks a post game.

I'm telling you the kid can score!  Check his 3 point percentage and stat line.
The D league 3 point line is the same as the NBA.  I haven't seen him play any PF, though he does have the ability to score inside.  I saw him in the corner, baseline, waiting for the basketball hungry, like Glen Davis looks when he's about to be served a burger!

I'm on board with this.

Should we also lift Bamba Fall the center since Krstic is gone? I have always thought we should stop focusing on the FA and draft this year as it is super competitive.

He's only 6'8" with his shoes on (6'6.75" without) and he for better and worse doesn't have Baby's bulk.  It's great news that he shot the 3 so well this year.  To me that's another sign that he belongs as a power 3, though I don't think he's had the opportunity to play there--and the C's don't have room for him there either, if they resign Green.

He's better than Sasha Pavlovic though.

Fair enough, and it also should take him some time to make the transition.
