Both Celtics, Suns saw Dragan Bender LIVE in Israel. Boston love him, Phoenix have strong ties with Croatia-born scout.

I would be super happy with that pick. While raw, guys like Bender don't come around often.

I believe Jackie Mac said the same thing too a while back.

Last night Mike Gorman alluded to the fact that Austin Ainge has spent quite a bit of time overseas scouting international players. I assume they've done their homework on Bender.

Im not sure what makes you say this. I trust Ainge. I dont know nearly enough about Bender to really evaluate him. I know hes tall. Thats really about it.

Ive got no idea what to expect from Bender. If I was in charge of making the pick I wouldnt pick him for that reason, but I cant rule him out. We just dont know enough.

we've got enough picks that Danny should swing for the fences with the 3rd.

honestly, we've got like 15% of the entire draft on lock..

3
16
23
31
35
45
51
58

That's a lot of bullets when you really only a need a starting big and another 3/D shooter...

Yeah, I remember that. If these reports are true, then I would expect Ainge to be a lot less willing to overpay for an established player, then he would if he didn't like Bender and considering the other draft options (Murray, Dunn, and Hield) are redundant to our current pieces.

this  is going to be a long wait until the draft.   I wish I was GM so i could just shut out the tv until then and know who I want.

I think Bender is the real deal.  People are underestimating his toughness.  He looks like a 7 foot skinny kid.  But he doesn't look like Roger Federer for no reason.  He's  going to be good.

the media is going to spin this as trading the pick until then.....  There were so many rumors flying when we took Marcus too.

Good to know. Makes me a bit more confident in Bender's talent.
