Speaking of Brown, How many good shooters have the Celtics taken in the first round of the draft over the past 10 years? I am struggling to find one. Sully doesn't count. Dare I say Green in 2007 who we traded for Ray Allen?
One day it would be nice for us to find an end of the game shooter who can actually help us win in crunch time. I am definitely not in the I hope the Celtics draft Brown category and he suddenly discovers how to shoot better.
He shot 65% from the FT last year and had a .43% FG percentage and to top it off, he was under 30% from 3..Oh Joy....Sure doesn't sound like pick 3 material..I would rather take a chance on someone with a bit more upside on the offensive end or at least someone who can put the ball in the basket. It took Avery years before he improved his shooting and many of us fans did not believe that day would ever come. Great to hear that Brown was so impressive in his first workout but we have a whole year of college to analyze on how he did.
Defense is great for our team but we actually need to get the ball in the basket more than our competition in the playoffs. I dread the idea of improving our defense even further with no improvement on the offensive side of things. Since Brown cannot shoot as of right now, I would imagine Danny is salivating...ugh....Dont do it Danny...
