Ugh. I hate threads like this (sarcasm) because I'm still trying to forget that Ainge somehow took Brown over Kris Dunn *facepalm*. Not helping, Rollie, lol .
I agree with you there. Kris Dunn could end up haunting the Celtics. Guy looked great in the summer league.
He kinda should... He's 22 and a half years old. Brown won't even turn 20 until the season starts.
Plus SL always favors fast, ball dominant guards.
That last bit is most likely true, but I don't agree about the age thing, at all. So what if Dunn is 22 and Brown is 20? Yeah, I get that Dunn obviously has more experience, but he also has this thing called skill
. Take age out of the equation and just look at the players, for the most part, imo. Milwaukee demonstrated how to draft this past year, imo, taking guys on both ends of the spectrum - Thon Maker, 19, and Malcolm Brogdon, 23 (he'll be 24 in December). Just because a guy is younger doesn't mean that he'll become what so-and-so was at a certain age. They have to have the skills and the work ethic to even make that an argument, imo. Look at James Young versus Rodney Hood. Sure, Young averaged more points than Hood did at almost the same age, but Young played on a stacked Kentucky team and had neither the skills nor work ethic/desire to become anywhere near the player that Hood was in college, never mind the NBA, but I don't want to talk about any of this, anymore. Hopefully, Brown will make me eat my words
.
