Brad Stevens tells Jaylen Brown that he would fit perfect in Boston

[The One]

Visiting this thread again. 

I wonder who CBS and Ainge has in their top 3

If CBS has Brown as his fav but Ainge has Murray.... I wonder what Danny will do

I was on Twitter earlier and Steve Kyler mentioned that if the C's keep the pick brown is the pick.

Cool...although draftexpress seems more dialed in...and they say Chriss.

Yes, I suppose in a sense a non shooting wing does fit perfectly on the team that has been at the bottom of the league in three point percentage the last three seasons.

I'm guessing you don't want Jaylen to be selected by Boston.

[walker834]

I'd be very happy with Brown as the pick.  It's CBS's job to sell the organization and city and culture and it's about getting a guy who wants to play here a while.  Brown would be a good pick.

So as we know, Brown worked out for us.

Here is Sean Deveney (pretty good reporter imo) on the workout:
(Btw, Danny said Brown was great in the workout)

Cal freshman Jaylen Brown worked out for the Celtics this week, but according to a source at the workout, it was Danuel House who stole the show, matching up nicely against Brown and showing he has the potential to be a steal as a 3-and-D wing in the second round.

Danuel House.  That's a name I'm surprised I don't hear more often in draft talk.  He's got a near perfect NBA body for sure.  I never thought of him as much of a defender though, but maybe?  I don't think I've seen his name in a single mock draft.

He'd totally fit in well.  From what I've been told, he's another defensive-minded workhorse who can't shoot worth crap.  He'd fit right in with our other defense-minded workhorses who can't shoot worth crap.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

Have you seen House play?  I'm only asking because I really haven't, although it has been stated that he did a great job on Simmons and he certainly does have the tools to be an excellent defender, but again, I'm only moderately familiar with the guy.

Yeah I saw him a few times.  My recollection is I thought he looked fairly disinterested in defense at Texas A&M.  He looked competent, but didn't have any real intensity on defense.  Which is why I am surprised by hearing this news of his defense on Brown and Simmons, but maybe I just didn't see enough of him or he always had more than he showed.

Where he stood out in college was on offense.  He reminded me of Corey Maggette a lot.  Physical, strong perimeter player who drives to the hoop really strong and well and has a knack for getting to the foul line.  Not a very efficient scorer and very much a 1-1 guy.  Very streaky outside shooter who was very dangerous at times in the NCAA and SEC tourney.

Not surprised. If I was a betting man, I'd bet some money that Danny picks Brown

Ditto.  Tp for the laugh, LarBrd.

I go back and forth on whether to trust Kyler or not. I think he lets his opinions seep into his reports sometimes, but in general, I lean toward taking him at face value. Hopefully, he's wrong this time, because he also said we're not considering Bender.

TP for the info.  His shooting percentages were atrocious, though, and he really only hit the 3 with consistency during his junior year.  His senior season, in terms of fg and 3pt percentage, was almost exactly like RJ Hunter's, except that RJ got to the line more and made them at a much better clip and had way more steals and assists.  At least RJ had two years of shooting the 3 at .365 and .395 before the significant drop off during his junior year (.305).  House can hardly make that claim, and his junior campaign appears to be nothing more than an outlier in that regard, unfortunately.  Can he post up? 

Oh well, even if can't play, at least he'll be able to replace Sully's hair .

Won't surprise if this is the pick. Huge upside at 19. Complete player with an NBA made body.

Complete player!? He's a better athlete than he is a player.  The guy just dunks all the time, which seems to mesmerize people so much that they somehow overlook the fact that he's a horrible decision maker with a poor handle and an even worse shot.  He might have the physical tools to be a great player but he certainly doesn't have anywhere near the skill level necessary to be anymore than a dunker, really, as of right now.

There are no complete players in any draft...zero...nada...zilch.

[dreamgreen]

Of course he's a perfect fit, another player that can't shoot!! They can all take shooting class together!!
