celts getting longer

[rollie mass]

rozier has 6-9 wingspan,rj hunter 6-10.5 with 8ft-8 standing,yabuseles at 8-9standing
yabusele has 7-1.5 wingspan,mickey wingspan 7-1.5 the same
nader has 7-1 wingspan
jaylen 7ft wingspan
then finally we got some high flyers green,jaylen and jackson had 43 inch vertical
who would have figured yabusele with 7-1.5 wingspan and quick feet
with kelly ,sullinger and amir sometimes it was plain embarrassing,the lack of lift

kelly may have 6-9.5 wingspan but surprise he has 9ft standing reach------one inch longer than al horford-

[Vermont Green]

Most of those players listed are not going to matter (Nader, Hunter, Mickey, Yabusele, Jackson).

Rozier and Green may play a minor role and we shall see about Brown.

Glad to see the added length though.

yabusele may wind up a  long term keeper-young strong,quick feet,amazing length and can hit the three this guy never had formal weight training--big time potential--
hope we bring him up at the end of chinese season--

I think we are longer, more athletic and just more aggressive in general.  Guys like Yab have speed for a guy that size.  He's much more athletic than Sully.  I think Zizic isn't going to add much right away either but has some length.  With Mickey, Amir, KO, Zeller, Horford we are a longer team in general.  Brown is good size and athletic.  Green has some length although hopefully he can be  a decent defender here.  I think he'll be fine.   I agree we got longer, but faster and more athletic in general.  This is something i wanted Ainge to accomplish and he appears t do this really well sometimes wit his vision of what we need.  Just physical hard working players with length and athleticism and versatile.  He picks them well though to go with our guards who are fast and physical too.

zizic has 7-2.5 wingspan and 9 ft -3 standing reach and a great motor ,likes to hit offensive boards not much difference 25 standing and 27 max vertical-

 Another reason We'd like to see Mickey take a leap, is because his measurables are awesome.

 He's actually got a 7'3.25" wingspan, with a 37.5" vertical jump. Those combined numbers are outstanding. Shame he hasn't been able to produce as of yet.

tp for that post on mickey-i pulled mt figures off draft express-i'm impressed didn't check his vertical-

seeing we got these 19 year olds
 jaylen with a 7 foot dad-looked up growth in 19 yr olds
it does happen
i was just curious
jaylen can just grow his hair
zizic get over here and eat american food geniticaly modified and beef with growth hormones

Crowder and Brown are both big for small forwards.  jaylen with his hair is at least 6'9".  They are both physical and muscular.  We are a pretty big team but athletic.  Isaiah is small and Bradley and Rozier but Smart isn't.  Those guys are really fast and physical too. All these guys can block shots.  Even Bradley with his lift is really good at this.  Mickey too.  Crowder and Smart and Brown are all like this. jerebko is a good defender too.

I'm sure Stevens will have some master plan to stop the Dwight Howards and big centers. Horford, Amir, Zeller and Olynyk can do what they do and then maybe the speedy smaller players will strip the ball. I don't think we need a Kendrick Perkins, although I wish we did have a big center so Brad wouldn't always have to be scrambling to counteract an opponent's potential advantage in the paint.

[walker834]

Horford can defend a guy like Howard I think.   Amir is not bad.  We don't have a ton of  bulk. More quickness although HOrford and Amir play like dogs.  KO is underrated at times although has a way to prove some things.  Zeller is not a bad defender.  We are a pretty quick team.  Not a ton of size but Horford is pretty big and changes things.  With guys like Smart and Crowder willing to bother big men and range around that's enough.  Even our little guards like Bradley and Isaiah. They are pesky.  We can go with more size and muscle.

This is good to hear, thank you.

I think there was a play last year when five Celtics, maybe I'm exaggerating, but a lot of C's swarmed one guy with the ball.

I think Amir is solid. Zeller on paper should be the best at center defense. I don't think he has ever been a power forward. Maybe Tyler should play Euroball where the games are supposedly a lot softer. Olynyk was never a center until recently. Amir and Al are KG styled centers imho. They do it because no one else can, not because they are actual centers.

But the league is changing and there's no Shaq to worry about.

Maybe it will be Zizac next year. It is good to know that Horford can get it done. I don't know much about his game other than when we've played him. He seems very smooth and top-notch. It sounds like he is our new KG.
