Celtic Picks - 2019 draft

[footey]

I would be happy with little

He is like another Jaylen Brown give or take

Even a little more aggressive around the basket to grab rebounds.

I like him and his two way game/potential

Yeah, I'm down to Little or Kabengele.  One of them should be available at 14.

If he's within range, I do hope Danny likes Kevin Porter, Jr.

That level of athleticism and skill is very intriguing.

but his attitude and approach to the game reportedly are not. this guy has a lot of mental and emotional red flags mentioned in virtually every scouting report. i dont know ainge's thoughts, but he tends to stay away from such players.

my concern is that little shot 27% from 3 point range as a small forward. in videos i saw he dunked the daylights out of the ball, and not much else.

assists = 0.7 blocks = 0.5 and steals = 0.5 per game.

maybe i am missing something about little, but these stats worry me.

I think Ty Jerome is gonna be one of the picks in the 20s, which I don't hate. Tony Bennett and Brad are good friends and Bennett raves about Jerome. I could see this happening. I can also see Dylan Windler as another pick for DA in the 20s. I have no idea who the target at #14 will be. Herro? Little? Williams? Who knows.

Fair, but his free throw shooting percentage is 78%, which is good for college, and projects that he can be a good 3 point shooter with more work.

That's awful news. Hope he has a full recovery and makes the NBA.  I've never heard of a serious injury like that during a draft workout. That may cause a lot of agents to pull their guys out of any scrimmages or contact drills.

yes, there is that ray of hope. yet, aaron gordon is a credible FT shooter (70.7% for career) who simply is not so good at 3 pointers. (32.1% for his career) so, i think this is beyond me to project with accuracy.

yes, terrible news for the poor kid. but when you are projected in the second round, bowing out of workouts is probaby a bad idea. these guys have to take chances.

i wonder how the insurance works? do they provide him with payments equal to a second round pick? i have no idea, does anyone here know anything on this?

[Evantime34]

I predict the Celtics trade for Davis, but keep the 20th and 22nd picks.

NAW and Edwards are my picks at those spots. If we keep 14 I think they go Clarke or Little.

This draft is so fluid after the top 8 or so that I could see 30 different players reasonably being drafted in the top 20.

Man oh man that sucks! Never heard of anything like this.

Hope this guy ends up picked up by a team eventually and makes it

I have never heard of someone hurting themselves this bad in a work out.

[Tr1boy]

Will Bitadze be doing any workouts? Or is it just Euroleague stuff so he can't come?

not too sure

But it would be good for Danny to take an indepth look

He doesn't mind getting his hands dirty... not over the rim or anything. But good size/strong

has a decent perimeter jump shot

I haven't seen or read much about his on court IQ

[Tr1boy]

I still feel that the Celts are aiming for a potential pick like Little.  A prospect that if he played another season of college ball , could shoot up the ranks in next season draft

If Little and a few other surprise picks happen prior to #14,  maybe someone like Reddish falls through the cracks

Which I'm cool with

[celticinorlando]

I just want of the picks to be on a guy that can make jump shots on a consistent basis.
