can you start Sully KO Randle ?

[Tr1boy]

If we draft Julius Randle, can we start him with Sully, KO?

Randle is a pf but has some some sf skills/quality in his game. He can handle the ball, slash to the basket is quick on his feet and seen him be able to guard pf/sf. Also excellent in pnr defense and able to keep up with guards.

Randle needs to improve his jump shot but right now doesnt need it bc he just bulldozes points in near the paint. He is an excellent ft shooter

It would be a little unorthodox to have three pf take up the c to sf spots but i think it could workout. At least sully and KO would get some big help in the rebounding department

Good or bad idea?

Why stop there, let's have Brandon Bass start at SG.

Have you seen Detroit this year? 

[Donoghus]

Celtics don't need another PF.

The next PF they get if they're going to address the position is move Sully and parts out the door for Love.

Otherwise, the Celtics have more pressing issues.  Namely C & an offensive, take control SF.

sure but you always take the best player available, especially when you have a high pick in the draft.  If Randle is the bpa, you have to take him.

Sure but then Danny will need a plan to figure out what to do with all of them.  They'd be nuts to start Sully & Randle in the frontcourt, IMO. 

Draft Randle and you're moving somoene.

Monroe and Drummond cant shoot. Smith also is not a very consistent jump shooter. There is a lack of balance. KO AND Sully can. KO plays like a sf on the offensive end anyways

Randle can guard sfs like lebron can. Just a huge athletic body with quickness

It wouldnt be a traditional starting unit but imo it can work, and work well

[The One]

I can't see it working.  They might be able to score at will, more or less.

But they would get torched defensively.

You seen randle play defense right? He can guard sfs. And will be able to help under the rim

Which one of those 3 players can guard the alpha-male scoring 3?  Which one of them has the quickness and ball handling skills to be a wing in the NBA?  Well, none of them...

If you draft Randle, someone is getting shipped out, or will just be on the bench.  I don't think you draft someone in the top 5 and then sit them on the bench.

Like i said randle has sf skills. His handles and ability to slash is not what a normal pf is able to do. Now He physically overwhelms college players and can play pf/c.

If lebron played in college before the nba he could play pf

[Fafnir]

No.

Big lineups like that don't work out well in the NBA. Olynyk would be on the bench.

If it ever got to the point where the Celtics had to pick and the clear BPA was Randle, I think they would trade down. If it ever got to the point where the Celtics had to pick and Randle might be the BPA but it was extremely close between him and some other non-PF players, I think the Celtics would pick that other players.

I just do not see a scenario where Ainge would add what is clearly another PF to this roster. Randle is talented but his skills are not good enough to translate into an NBA SF. He's a power forward.

Randle doesn't have the handles / quickness to be a wing in the NBA.
