    The Celtics had the top pick that year. I remember everyone wanted them to draft Fultz but they traded back to 3. Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens were also very interested in Josh Jackson but he stood them up when they flew out west to meet them for a workout. After that happened, there was absolutely no way the Celtics were drafting him. I’m so glad they took Tatum.

The Chinese government even said they wouldn’t let him play in the NBA unless he was drafted by the Rockets and had to play for the national team as a priority over NBA. Steve Francis, the Rockets gave up on him too. He was traded for TMac.

    Jokic and Luka have shown that you do not need top level atheism to become an elite scorer and contributer on offense. You do need the ability to score from anywhere on the floor and Reed has that in spades. The atheism argument gets to much attention, especially with today's NBA. Reed can make a living at the free-throw line. Plus, Reed is more athletic than he gets credit for. He blocks shots out on the 3 point line. You don't see too many guys that are 3 inches taller blocking shots out that far.

His per game stats for the year aren't crazy but he's been playing more minutes lately and he's getting more confident a little more selfish (which is a good thing) and his stats lately have been crazy good. And he can give a team anything that they need at a given moment. He can be a distributer, he can be a shooter, he's very athletic, and he has amazing court awareness.

      When most players say they have no intention of playing in Canada, what do you do then? Tracy McGrady left the raptors, kawhi left, CB4 left. So you’re going to just not draft anybody good and just draft division 3 players? There are lots of players who freaked out even being in the expansion draft and selected to go to Vancouver and Toronto. Shit look at Minnesota. Nobody sticks around there either. What are you supposed to do then? NBA as a league, if you’re going to take expansion fees for a team, there has to be some type of provision that players drafted have to play at least a few seasons. It’s called a draft. Not free agency. If they leave in free agency, that’s a different story. You can’t be a viable league if you allow such an imbalance where drafted players can choose whether they want to play for an organization.
