Would love to have this guy on our team. Crowder would be a great mentor to him.

Strengths:
Physical Tools; 6'8" w/ 6'11" wingspan; 3&D Wing who can play Small Ball 4.
Versatility on Offense; Has range and a nice pull up game; Good at attacking closeouts and is an active cutter; Can grab and go in transition.
Defense; Quick feet and is able to contain perimeter players; Is very active on Defense.
Intangibles; Is a competitor; always comes up with winning plays/50-50 balls; Crashes hard from the perimeter for rebounds.

 Tp Yeno. I hear you with Prince. My only real concern is his attitude, he's a little bit of a wild child which can be both good and bad.

I'm all for this too with the Boston sole pick at 24, he could be a good scorer off the bench and he's a wing, draft Buddy Hield and this kid, and at the end of the day could be a good draft for Boston, two guys that can contribute immediatley with the second unit.

I am very high on prince and think he would be a great fit for the Cs. Depending on where the Mavs pick ends up he may even be an option earlier then the Cs own pick. Unlike alot of prospects it is very easy to look at Prince's physical tools and skill set and peg him into a role (3-D wing/small ball 4). He even has an excellent modern day comp in DeMarre Carroll who along with size and hairs style he shares almost identical college stats (Prince shot alot more 3s). I can easily see Prince stepping in next season and carving out a role on the Celtics if they keep a similar current roster structure. This can not be said about most prospects.

I see Prince along with Nigel Hayes as two players who will be able to join this team and fill a need as Crowders under study. When Jae was injured it showed that this team really needs a player who can play his role behind him on the bench. Earlier in the season I would have placed Hayes ahead of Prince but I think Prince has played himself into a mid first rounder while Hayes will be in the late first.

Can't go wrong picking Prince aslong as we have the roster spots.

As a Baylor alumni who has watched most of their games, Jeff Green 2.0.  To be fair Baylor's coach is great at recruiting, terrible at coaching.  Maybe a good coach gets more out of him.

Great point.  He looks like Jae Crowder 2.0.   And we've all seen how valuable Jae is to the Celtics unit.  Could be a real solid pickup.

Hield, Maker, Prince?
Scoring, defense, defense.
