6’8 wing who’s a good defender and shot 41% from 3 this year, the most Celtics pick ever

You do that when you play for 5-6 years. I’m not thrilled with a guy that shoots 60% from FT and has been a terrible if improving three point shooter, but he does have great advanced stats.

I wonder how we’re gonna strengthen the center spot. Maybe next year

This team has no plan for when Al retires or when KP misses a large portion of the season which we know he already will next season. I really wanted Ulrich Chomche who profiles as basically Timelord 2.0 so we’d at least get someone who can protect the rim. I don’t think either of our picks play much this year so why not draft a guy who has huge upside that you can put in the G league for 1-2 years.

JSpringz, Baylor, Walsh, Watson – is probably the better part of our bench in 2 years. PP, Hauser, Tillman will likely be gone or moved for a mid level guy by then.
We still have zero answers at big man tho. Another year of completely disregarding the impact of youth at the most physical position in basketball.
I’d love to see us trade with Danny for Flip.

Zag homer who loves Anton.
Here’s the cliffnotes:
* Ultimate glue-guy. Incredible teammate. * Elite college defender who can guard 1-5. * Terrible FT shooter. * Improved 3PT% every year (finished 41% on 1.5 attempts last season). But started truly awful his frosh year at 11% * 4th most impactful college player last year per [EvanMiya.com](http://EvanMiya.com)

Good pick so late in the draft.

Odds are he won’t ever be a good shooter (30% from 3 on 1 attempt a game over his career, 62% from the line). But most likely he will be in the G-League this season and will be waived after a few seasons anyways.
I’m more hyped about the Baylor pick though, guy should be a pretty damn solid player who can start contributing a bit this season, so I hope we give him some run early-on.

Nobody knows where Gonzaga is
minimumhatred
we selected two people who could be solid bench contributors in a year or two.

Damn, can’t believe they missed on Cam Spencer by one pick.

Complete college ball noob here, but from what I’ve read both of the c’s draft picks sound like really solid players, albeit ones who don’t have a tonne of upside, but could contribute pretty much straight away or in a year or two.
