I'd trade JJJ for Marshon in a nano second

Maybe I'm a blind optimist, but I'm willing to gamble on JJ.

Me too. If JJJ was on the Nets he'd have Top 10 style alley oops every night.

Well said, Wava. I stii favor Brooks. He would be playing for us now more than JJJ could, and he can create his own shot instead of standing around like most Celtics do now.

Well, right now he's got a broken toe, so maybe not. ;)

Reggie Jackson is the one guy who seems to be playing a consistent role.

Wasn't Jackson the guy Ainge reportedly made a promise to draft but was taken one spot ahead of the slot that became Marshon Brooks?  (Of course, Jimmy Butler was the third player Ainge was allegedly interested in, behind Jackson and Johnson.)

If Ainge had gotten Jackson, would he still have taken Moore or would he have targeted a big man like Greg Smith of Fresno State or Matt Howard of Butler?

I'm with the OP, JJ played like a combination of a young Al Jefferson and Jesus. Mashon who?
lol for a second he took on the shape of a unicorn.

I Knew he was a good player. Future All star book it.
I would be willing to make that bet.

Maybe we get Moore as an undrafted player in that scenario?

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

honestly, I would take my chances on a near 7footer with offensive skillset like johnson over a solid SG..

I just think when you look around the league theres alot more solid SG's out there than PF's...and Johnson has alot more in his offensive skillset than alot of other PF's

if he can hit that turnaround J consistently at an nba level like he did in college..kid is going to be one heck of a player..he just needs to put on some more weight/lower body strength so he isnt a liability in the post
