Chriss at #3 absolutely scares the heck out of me.

How come none of the other candidates at 3 dont scare you?

Each one has their pluses and minuses.   Jamal murray wont ever be a top defender.   Dunn can play wildly /careless/shot still in progreaa

Chriss has some questions marks for sure. But he has probably the highest upside outside of simmons/ingram

Where did I say that?  This thread is about Chriss.   That's why I brought it up.

Just saying  each candidate at 3 has their weaknesses

Chriss has enormous upside

I wouldn't pick Chriss at 3. Compared with Bender, he's bouncier but 3" shorter and basically worse at everything, especially passing which is the difference between a stretch 4 and a playmaking 4. That said, there's no particular reason that Chriss can't be as good as or even a bit better than Serge Ibaka, which would be a nice outcome with the #3 pick in a weak draft. So if Danny liked him enough to pick him third, I guess I'd be OK with it.

Well, Simmons agrees with you, Triboy.

I'm a big fan of Chriss. It's definitely risky, but I'd be okay with taking him third overall if we don't trade the pick, which is almost a guarantee that we will now.

Chriss highlights. Ever seen Jeff Green this active on the offensive boards?  Blocking shots from nowhere?

Gut feeling tells me Celtics asked Brown to do a few more things at the 2nd workout and were not impressed.  Maybe he didnt shoot the ball too well (100 threes)

With trade rumors flying around last night , not really impressed with Bender workout

We dont need a guy that has amazing passing skills.  We need a guy that can score . And one thing chriss can do is shoot over ppl and dunk over ppl/play well above the rim

This guy makes Chriss look horrible. Maybe we should acquire him instead!

Ainge isn't going off these videos. No worries.

This guy flashes huge upside, and for me, is a better prospect than WCS in Sacramento.

Chriss is a little younger, and a lot longer. Noticeably more athletic. Flashes big time upside

Come on guys

Bennett is like 6'7. Undersized for a PF. Not quick off the ground

Fab melo could not shoot


Even if chriss has mediocre iq and feel for the game - his height, strength, explosiveness plus jump shot combination is elite

He could run into two defenders ( not smart) but still score over them.  He has second lives because of his elite physical tools
