And Brown is only 19.

Seal the deal

I'm officially on the Brown bandwagon.  He is young, a project, but fits a clear need and if he can be a + defender of 1-4, and shoot +30% from 3-pt, he is worth it.

This helps illustrate how naive it is to say "why doesn't Rondo practice his FT shooting". These guys bury shots in practice. They are ridiculous in drills. Watch the shootaround before a game. Everyone is burying shots left and right. In-game shots are a completely different thing.

More than the shot numbers, I would watch how they look shooting. What is the impact of fatigue on their form? Is their form consistent? But this is still like playing against a chair.

Um, there is almost no difference to shooting a practice FT vs shooting one in a Game, accept the former counts for an actual point.

The mental aspect is the difference. Guys like DeAndre, Drummond, and Dwight are all known to shoot around 70% from the line in practice.

Comparing the mental aspect of FT shooting to being actually guarded in an NBA game is night and day.

To me, Brown and Chriss are the scariest potential No. 3 picks. Freakish athleticism doesn't always translate to success. There are a lot of warning signs there.

This makes no sense for a guy who shot 29% from the college 3. On the other hand, this is supposed to be an intelligent high character guy. I don't know what to think.

This is cause for worry about Jaylen. Comparatively speaking, RJ hit 30.2 % of his 3's his first year with the Celtics. This is about the same as 30.5% his last year in college. Thus, it's probable Jaylen will shoot around 29% from beyond the arc next year.

Granted one would expect RJ to do better next season as his shooting percentage was higher in two prior college years. 

Sometimes I feel Danny believes players are going to make quantum leaps in their shooting percentage once they hit the pros. In general that's not usually the case.

except brown was a freshman, RJ was a junior, there's a big difference.

for example, hield shot .388/.238 his freshman year, and shot .501/.457 his senior year.

dunn shot .398/.286 as a freshman, and .448/.372 as a senior.

pretty big jumps, and typical of guys with good upside.

At worse, Brown could be Gerald Green, which is a productive role player. At best, he can become a poor man's Lebron or an SF version of Westbrook.

Not the same athlete as any of those players.

At best, he could turn into Paul George ... at worse he could be Kedrick Brown and be out of the league in three years. Gerald Green could at least shoot the NBA three.

SF Westbrook has been my upside comp for him ever since I first saw him. That would be a fearsome player, but the downside is worrisome, to say the least.

Yeah that's who I think is his ceiling. A well spoken, intelligent, SF Westbrook.

Haha.  Brown is a good athlete, but I'm not sure that he has that explosion of Russell, but I'm probably wrong.  The only thing they have in common is playing completely out of control, lol .

I don't hate Brown as much as I did 3 weeks ago, but I still want Bender. Or a trade up with Philadelphia to 1 for Simmons.

If Danny picks Bender, it'll be because Bender showed him enough to force Danny to draft him, and Bender will be a bit above the rest.

If Danny picks Brown, it'll mean that no one's distinguished themselves 3-8.

If Danny picks Dunn, it'll mean he's trading him, and I am not thrilled with the trade market (at least what's been talked about so far)
