Celtics gave Dennis Schrouder the 1st round promise (Rumor)

I hope this doesn't happen, I would much prefer size to a pg.

Weird. I'd be more happy with just keeping Schroeder. Let him bring his piano and everything.

I will give you a TP for your hilarity which seems to have been overlooked here. Love it.

If you believed Schrouder was the most talented player on the board, would you still take a big?

I'm not sure, I guess it would depend on the degree to which he was the best player on the board. If the C's believe him to be way better than any player on the board you have to go with him, but if he is only a tiny bit better than the best big prospect I would like to see them go big. OF course that information will never come out.

Why do people keep complaining because he has similarities to Rondo?

If he can play he can play and we need a backup PG.  Beyond that, a big difference is that this guy can shoot, vs Rondo.  Builds are similar but play styles not so much.

size!  how much more size are we going to draft?  seems we are always reaching for size including the last two drafts, where we've drafted size and i've yet to see it work (given sully's year was cut short).  i'd prefer a nice 6'6" sg like pope from uga or hardaway from michigan.

Yea I don't get that complaint either.

If Brooklyn had an oppurtunity to draft a player, would they pass because he was "very similiar" to Deron Williams?

If anything, it's a compliment to me. Not something to detract from the kid.

I am for drafting size until we have enough size, and you can never have too much size.

But seriously we had no legit back up to kg at center. Once he retires we will have no centers on our team. We need a C and we need one now.

We need a center, but we don't have to get one from the draft if the choices are not great. We can get a better one from a trade or free agency. Always take the most talented player on the board in drafts. Never draft for position.

Even if Schroeder is the BPA, I'm not sure what's the point of drafting a guy who projects as a 10 minute a night backup.

In a weak draft like this, it's kind of a crap shoot selecting in the middle of the first round.  Might as well go with somebody who has legitimate size, as long as their talent and potential is about the same.

The Celtics took a size project last year.


Unless there is a C that is ready to step out there now and play, take the best talent.

Projected as a 10 minute/game backup by who? Ainge may have a different projection of him. He sure did with Rondo.

We also won't have Rondo for half the season, and even when Rondo comes back, we need a legit backup pg. If Schrouder is the real deal, it also could allow us to trade Rondo for a center.

There are about as many centers who are going to go in the first round as any year I can rememeber. WIth this increase in supply I wouldn't be shocked if the best player available was in face a center.

IMO the center position has the least depth in the NBA so C's are relatively worth more than other positions. For both those reason I think a C will be the best available player (at least in my opinion)

Just because there are a lot of centers in the draft doesn't mean they are good.
