Thought this was interesting via Chris Tomasson:

Jordan Hamilton: “(Coach Barnes) called some teams and said that I probably wasn’t coachable and things like that. But I feel like I can be coachable."

Who's coach does that?

Yeah. I was right. Sidd Finch was a fictional baseball player.

They just compared "the best player in the history of the Qatar league" to a fictional baseball player.

Sidd Finch was an April Fools day joke. They compared him to an April Fools day joke.

remember last year when someone picked a no name player late in the draft and Jay Bilas was like "Hey. He's not in my top 200, but hey great" and like threw up his hands and was clearly disgusted?

Do you think this year they told him not to do that?

He's saying lots of nice things about the Ben Hansbroughs and whatnot and kept his mouth shut during the run on unpronounceable players from Qatar and Sudan

Read E'twaun Moore's profile.  
http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/E-Twaun-Moore-5289/

A solid player who is good defensively.  And the Celtics like their defense.  The other thing is that the way his coach talks about him, this guy is gonna be coming into the league with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove.  

"“He'll act like it rolls off his back, but it bothers him,” Painter says. “I think that's what drives him. He's always been that guy who is very good, but there are a few names mentioned before him. I think that's always motivated him to work and he's going to keep using some of those negative comments as motivation.”

[From DraftExpress.com http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/E-Twaun-Moore-5289/#ixzz1QA8kT4WG ]

The fact that he's been playing with our 1st rounder, Jajuan Johnson, for 4 years.  Well I think that's gonna help both kids to have each other to lean on.  This has been a real interesting draft and really both picks make sense for us.

Round 1.  We got bigger.  And we needed the size.  An athletic 6'10 kid who not only has a post game but also a jumpshot.  Might need to get stronger obviously but he's got some upside.

Round 2.  A combo guard. 6'4.  Decent jumpshot but more importantly he's supposed to be a solid defender.  Good leadership skills and intangibles.  Could be a player for us, in the mold of perhaps Tony Allen but with a better jumpshot.

EVERY video I see on Moore is him or some reporter thinking he would go late 1st or early second... we took him hella late... does he have steal potential?
