Phone messed up the above post... But Hield and Murray are my top two choices outside of the top 2. We need guys with the potential to be elite scorers (if we don't trade the pick)
Yep. Originally I wanted Brown but he's not exactly the scorer we need. And the last thing I want is another "scrappy, gritty defender" type of player. We need offensive talent and Murray/Hield are just that.
Nice! Yeah, I'm actually worried that Hield's play will boost his draft status to a definite top five pick, and I could see a team like Phoenix go for him even though they just drafted Booker last year.
Kid is lights out and can create his own shot. Only thing that sucks is that he's only 6-4. Sound familiar at all?
Murray on the other hand just seems to have a lot of poise and confidence for a freshman.
I still think that Ainge will try to trade the pick regardless of where it lands, but if we end up with something outside of the top five and end up not trading it we should definitely start looking in to players like these two.
I'm also starting to warm up to this draft even though analysts are saying it's essentially a two player draft.
I've seen a lot of mock drafts having us taking Bender at pick # 4, and while Poryzingis makes me want the next stud from Europe, I'm not sure that he fits what we need right now as a strench 4.
In summary, if we don't get a top two pick, and end up using that pick, I really hope that we can get one of these two players. Or maybe both!
