he's not worth the #6 or 7 pick.  if he lasts until #17 (doubtful) take him.  other option is to trade down from #6 for a later lottery pick and get him with another asset.  although, if I was dropping down but still in the lottery I'd probably have an eye on Stauskas rather than Saric

Interesting. I don't see Saric going at 6 or 7...Would teams pass on him to let him trickle down to 17? And if so would we pick him there?

I'd stay away from Saric, a guy who doesn't have the lateral quickness of a SF and may never be big enough to be an effective NBA PF.

Yeah I'd be scared of him being a Kleiza type.

I don't think he has the status to pull this off. Who does he think he is demanding this stuff.

Ditto.  I hope we do not take him.

He reminds me a little bit of Gallo, but that's entirely superficial.

 made this same comparison last week.  Great minds think alike. Gallo a better shooter, and Saric has more energy and better passer, but they both look a little stiff on the floor.

This is a slightly misleading statement, in my opinion, regarding only playing for the Celtics or Lakers.  Because of the draft slotting system, Saric is expected to be paid by a European team somewhere between what #5-7 will get paid next year by an NBA team, probably closer to #5.  Accordingly, Saric won't come over if he's getting substantially less in the US than in Europe.

I don't see Saric sliding all the way to #17, however,  There are a few teams with multiple picks who are ahead of us, and would be willing to wait on Saric for three years, which is the point at which he would no longer be subject to the rookie salary restrictions.  Specifically, if he falls past  #8, you have Charlotte (#9 and #24), Philly (#3, #10, and obviously patient), Orlando (#4 and #12), Phoenix (#14, #18, and #27), and Chicago (#16 and #19).  Additionally, if Minnesota gets a top ten pick for Love, they will have a second pick at #13.  I can't see how one of those teams with multiple picks wouldn't take Saric before #17.

From what I could see on the scouting video, he reminds me of a smaller Olynyk. The same awkward game, lack of real and consistent go-to moves, and zero athleticism. I'm pretty sure that's not going to translate to the NBA.

We also can't see predraft measurements, so major red flags all around for me. I'm sure some desperate team in the search for the second coming of Dirk will take him, though. Let's just hope it's not us.

TP for an accurate assessment.

I think some pundits would draft Roseanne Barr if she was a Euro with no film.

I flatly don't want to see this guy anywhere near Boston - draft bust looking for a place to happen.
