Stevens "Mickey is closer to ready than ever before"

[KG Living Legend]

 Tp to Triboy in advance.

 "I'm really curious, but we do have a frontcourt logjam, that's the reality of our situation"

 There is a little more to read on ESPN Boston.

 Please Danny dump Zeller, Lee, or Sully and let's give this kid some minutes.

[Chris22]

I would like to see Zeller play more.
Lopez scored 30 points yesterday because we are so small.

Please Danny, don't dump our players to clear up time for Mickey, if he's better than them then Stevens will give him some/all of their minutes

Our bigs have been so bad that it might be time to give the rookie a chance.

Only partly related, but why did Mickey drop to the second round?  Concerns about his frame?

I believe height and outside shooting. If he was a couple of inches taller he would not have fallen that far.

His height.

[KG Living Legend]

 Yeah, 6'7" with his shoes off, but a 7'3" wingspan is crazy long add to that a 37" max vertical.
 
 Those are tremendous numbers, even better he's a guy that can leave the ground very quickly, he doesn't need to gather like most athletes.

His height.

He does play taller than he is by staying upright. Not too many players are able to play as upright as he is. It's pretty impressive how he almost never slouches.

[Evantime34]

I really want the C's to ship off a lot of bigs so Mickey gets a chance.

The production we are getting from our big men is not good enough and we need to find a way to improve that. Whether we try Mickey out, shorten the rotation by trading players, or bring new players in we need to improve our big men.

[Rosco917]

Our bigs, other than Amir, who is just ok, are soft, slow, non-athletic, and unreliable.

Give Mickey at least a look for some extended minutes. Let him see what he needs to learn. 

[Celtics4ever]

I agree, we should give the kid a look.   How could he be worse than some of the blokes ahead of him?  He can jump and run which will give him an edge in some areas over most of them.

we need to play mickey
he's young, athletic, defensive minded
he should get a chance to prove himself

not sure why ainge signed johnson
as we already had zeller, olynyk, sully competing for playing time

seeing lee's contract and his performance
a trade is very unlikely to happen unless we give up something
