Ainge's (likely) draft pick stock

[BleedGreen1989]

2015: BOS 1st, LAC 1st, PHI 2nd, BOS 2nd, WAS 2nd

2016: BOS 1st, BKN 1st, DAL 1st, CLE 1st, PHI 2nd, MIN 2nd, MIA 2nd, DAL 2nd, CLE 2nd

2017: Best of BOS/BKN 1sts, MIN 2nd, CLE 2nd

2018: BKN 1st, BOS 1st, BOS 2nd

2019: MEM 1st, BOS 1st, BOS 2nd

Can i put this on a jersey?

Seriously though, Ainge is going to be one busy guy on draft night the next few years. He can't possibly use all those selections though, so it'll be interesting to see how he spends them.

One of those 1st rounders for 2015 will be traded before the deadline or else on draft night. I just can't see adding 3 more guaranteed rookie contracts to this team.

[Birdman]

Glad someone posted all these picks..TP..i think u will be adding more to this in the future

Maybe Danny is building another D-league team with those draft picks.

someone on realgm made an interesting point. Maybe he fills out the red claws like a REAL minor league team. Could be innovative


I think most of us believe he'll at least trade a good portion of those picks. He'll probably wait till someone like cousins wants out

Holy Crap. In 2016 DA could almost draft an entire team! LOL!

Unless he lets The Spurs make the selections for us---we will get stuck with a bunch of garbage players---Ainge is HORRIBLE at drafting.

Um, I guess so.
he's had hits and misses, just like every single other GM out there. We could all point to great big hits, and we could all point to great big misses, but I've never seen a decent analysis either way that takes into account (a) where Ainge is picking and (b) compares each GM to each other GM.

A little over the top?

He's a pretty solid drafter.

Tp to someone who can explain the protected ones

Let's hope that there are some decent Euro prospects to use all those late firsts and second rounders on.

That would be my first option.  I hope Danny is looking at that as a serious way to use the picks.

I just hope all these picks gets cashed in and/or turn into a player we can build around. I'm afraid that some of these picks will turn into mediocre players because we couldn't move them in a package.

And since Ainge has been sort of 50/50 in drafting players, that's the worst thing that can happen to us. We now have literally A TON of assets, but it better turn out into a franchise player.

Thanks for the info.
They have 4 1st round picks in 2016? Obviously they can't use all these picks.
Something's got to give.

But who would trade their All Star player or their top 5 pick for late first round picks? It's not like we have a promising prospect that we can include with those?

Im afraid we're going to have to use all those picks (which in turn could be mediocre players under contract for a few years), or just sell them for cash.
