If anything, by gathering 16 draft picks (with the potential of two others) over the next six years, Ainge has put pressure on himself to make the right evaluations.

“I’ve always believed that you build through the draft,” he said. “And whether those drafted players are Al Jefferson, who you love, and Delonte West, who we developed and loved, and then move them for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen — or whether those draft picks turn into Rajon Rondo or Paul Pierce and they’re with you forever.

“So the draft is really important, and now we have a lot of assets. Draft picks are always tradable. Sometimes players aren’t always tradable, once they expose themselves on the court. Draft picks almost always are tradable. But development is really important for us, and I’m happy with the development of Kelly Olynyk and Phil Pressey and Jared Sullinger and Vitor (Faverani). Vitor has been a little inconsistent, which you’d expect with inconsistent minutes and a guy coming from playing European ball his whole life. It’s a whole different life.”

Love to hear this from Ainge. I've always said building through the draft and high picks gives you two avenues to rebuilding, glad to see he thinks the same way. I have a lot more confidence in his rebuilding plan now.

Well, our road to Banner 17 went "through the draft" by being able to use a draft pick to get Allen. So technically, we did build through the draft that time too.

Everything is going exactly as planned by DA contrary to how some think it should go.

If there was such a thing as a jersey saying "I BELIEVE IN AINGE", I'd buy it.
