I think he was drafted 38.  Great game by the young pg. Has a very nice inside-outside game. The teardrops and three point shooting were impressive.

Defense was good and of course passing was good. Lots of penetration and open look kickout passes.

AT 6'5, that is a terrific height for a pg.

Lucky for the bucks to get him, and too bad Ainge didn't try to move up to draft him.

Vitor Faverani looked like a missed opportunity for other teams too.

As some Bucks fan pointed out, the Bucks have been pretty good drafters.

Tobias Harris, Giannis AKDJSLKFJLSKDLKJDLKJ and this guy.

Harris is gone to ORL. John Henson is also looking promising. So long and has decent lift from the ground.  But not great speed and an exceptional lift like Anthony Davis. Thought he was a poor man Davis actually the year he got drafted

Small school players with limited athleticism don't tend to be drafted very highly.

Olynyk, Faverani and Pressey appear to be a well above-average haul for a draft that was as weak as we've seen in the last decade.

You can't draft every contributor out there.

Didn't say they had good management.

Trading potential for a very short rental of JJ Reddick was bad management.

Good thing Ainge seems to have a hang of drafting and managing.

A couple skyhook sightings from Henson last night, too. Did you catch them?

Guy I wanted was Michael Carter Williams. He's been okay, huh?

Mcw is looking like the early fav for ROY. His shooting has been better than expected. He stays consistent with his shot and he will be a good player in the league

Wolters is listed at 6'-4" some places and 6'-5" other places but boy, he did not look that big to me on the court.

His size and the Celtic's talent level notwithstanding, I thought he looked really good.  He made a difference.

Maybe we could trade Brooks for him. (I am kidding of course, Milwaukee seems to have a very balanced roster).
