ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! IT'S QUETA TIME!!!!
He needs to improve around the rim. In not rushing the shot…
Release the beast
@rhinostalker you obviously haven't watched him play around the rim.
@@Fallingleaftreeserviceright he’s the reason Maine Celtics went to the finals for the g league
He has 3 fouls before he even checks in. But yeah, he'll get minutes but hopefully his BB IQ will improve.
Godfrey Sympre is my favorite sports analyst
Good point by Godfrey that the Celts have been outstanding at developing players. Derek White, Hauser, Pritchard, and even Horford all became better players, especially at shooting, after they came here. In the case of White, a LOT better. Contrast this to the Lakers, who had Engram, Ball, Russo, who were all lackluster with the Lakers but became instantly better once they went to other teams. The Celtics know how to coach em up.
Yet the Celtics missed out on Max Strus.
Both players are older ,but battle ready ,physically and mentally
Win now, draft an older player. If you are rebuilding, draft a project.
One of our best moves was Brad replacing Danny!
Didn't Danny draft both J's?
@@rmsmith2396
That's an out-of-context question.
From Smart to Tatum, Danny was actively sabotaging Stevens in order to get him fired.
Smart was drafted because he was undersized, the worst shooter in college basketball that season, had no athletic or dynamic capabilities and didn't like fans dropping the N-bomb on him as he was being drafted to the most racist sports city in America.
His success was totally because of Stevens ability to manage all of that in a superior manner.
Rozier, basically the same thing except he was even smaller and hadn't gone into the stands over the N-bomb.
JB, again basically the same thing. An undersized freshman, athletic, but with zero actual skill set.
By the time Tatum came around, Danny's "tanking time" was over and he had to pretend to try and build a real team.
Danny didn't draft FOR Tatum. In order to sabotage Stevens even more, Danny traded studs IT and Crowder for Kancer Kyrie, and covered the fact that the Celts had no big man by acquiring Hayward.
Since Danny had just acquired ball-hog Kancer Kyrie, who was supposed to destroy Stevens continuity, which he did, Danny couldn't draft Fultz, a point guard, with the number one pick, and pay the salary of the number one pick, just to have him sit on the bench behind Kyrie for three seasons, so he traded down to alleviate the salary burden. In the process he also pick up an additional future number one pick, which wouldn't help Stevens at all.
Tatum just happened to be standing there so Danny again drafted an undersized, nobody, freshman.
Tatum was never supposed to get off the bench as in front of him on the team, with redundant skill sets and much more contract status were:
Kyrie
Hayward
Horford
Morris
Brown
You guys simply don't understand the context of what was happening between Ainge and Stevens (Ainge was trying desperately to get Stevens fired because Stevens ABSOLUTELY RUINED DANNY'S THREE SEASON TANK PLAN, and you all believe that the way things come to fruition was the way they were planned. But that is VERY RARELY THE CASE.)
So "yes", Danny did draft them, but they were all drafted because they were all undersized and were either non-dynamic or had shown limited dynamics in a small sample size, in order to facilitate Stevens demise.
I documented all this on the Disqus forum years ago, and nothing has changed.
Proof? Just watch how Stevens performs vs how Danny performs.
Danny took over the Utah GM position three seasons ago, traded Gobert and Mitchell for a gazilion draft picks, relieved the team of their massive salaries so he had room to financially maneuver, and again accidentally got some quality players in return, and yet the Jazz are YEARS away from being competitive, and Stevens took the smallest NBA team in history, stocked with players who were severely undersized, overpaid, aged-out, injured, or on rookie contracts which makes them useless in the playoffs, and completely revamped the team into a dynamic offensive and defensive team, still undersized, but not SEVERELY undersized, and although they are significantly over the cap, the net draft assets that went out to build this now championship team, was a total of minus one draft pick.
If you've seen the "green dot" chart of how good Caitlin Clark was in college, just replace "Clark" with "Stevens" in the green dot, and that's how good Stevens has been as a GM, and Danny's team, with all the draft picks, financial maneuverability, and quality players, are still a bottom-tier lottery team.
And I say this with confidence: Tatum most certainly would have had a great career (maybe not this good though) no matter where he was drafted (although nothing is a sure thing), but Smart, Rozier, and Brown owe a large part of their success to having started their carreers inside the Brad Stevens System.
As a coach, and even in though he had a short pro career, Stevens had, by far, the most "average" players come into his system on the front end, and then have seasons so good that they moved to another team and got "legacy" money in their next contract, and no other coach is even close, even "legendary" coaches or coaches who coached for twenty years or more.
Danny was trying to give Stevens really crappy players, but they all responded in an amazing fashion under Stevens.
That credit goes to Stevens and the individual players who maximized their opportunity under Stevens, not to Danny.
@@qt3dot14ish That's quite a conspiracy theory. I looked up collage stats for Brown and Tatum and would say although both were "one and done" "really crappy" is a joke. Just like your theory.
Thank God they didn't draft Bronny and instead picked an actual better player.
Any of the other 1000 prospects would be a better player than 4ppg guy. How embarrassing to be picked as basically a mascot
Yeah but this guy's going to be playing in Maine anyways, it would have been so funny if they had picked brawny and then just went to LA and said, you know we want two second round picks.
But I get why they didn't do it, as funny as it is Brad Stevens isn't the type didn't make national news for being if jerk, however hilarious it would have been and technically advantageous.
If I was a lakers fan I would have to know front office had no intention of winning a championship
Every player is better than bronny.. he's like giannis's brother just there to be a cheerleader so teams can keep that player.
Ain’t nobody tryna babysit Bron’s kid
Well I hope this turns out to be a better experience than 2013 Kelly Olynyk
Eh I will be happy if he’s a rotational player at any point with pick 54
Well that's an ignorant comment. Olynyk had a very nice career. Made a lot of money, helped his teams advance in the playoffs, made the finals.
ALGORITHM
Another 6'8 defender who is behind only Stockton in steals, quality passer, AND shoots 41% from 3? Lol.... he's immediate trade bait for a contender at the very least.
I love what Brad is cooking up, I feel like he's going to keep refining the roster and keep the same mindset as this past season. It's going to be nice seeing Jordan get more minutes and showcase his athleticism more in NBA games, pumped for this next season 🍀🏀
They took a youngster last draft. These guys are ready made college veterans.
Anyone that’s got a problem with their age, is silly. Walsh and Davidson are what, 20,21 ? These guys we just drafted fill the gap. svi mykhailiuk probably leaves, he’s a UFA. We just picked up his replacement, and Sam’s in the coming years. JD and Walsh will come into their own. This is how you build a dynasty. This is how we avoid having to make trades for pieces. Draft smart and grow them as players and man.
These two draft picks will likely spend most of their time in Maine on two-way contracts. Jordan Walsh and JD Davison are ahead of them in the pecking order and Brad Stevens has mentioned in an interview his desire to keep Davison.
I like the first pick for sure
Second pick, I was hoping for a stretch rim protecting big
Anton looks like he will be a good all-around
How about going after James Wiseman?
Any "Celtics fan" screaming "draft bronny" is one of those fans who get up early before the game is over and is considered a fairweather fan and don't understand our Celtics culture. If you know basketball in it self as a business, you know klutch sports told every team don't draft bronny or he will not report.
yeah so what do you say when you hear things like the emergence of xavior tillman? the guy was brought in for depth but never played so what emergence are ya talking about?
Wing depth 👌
I called this pick. I knew Anton Watson would be attractive to a quality franchise.
Bruce, your tone a lot better with this 2 person video. Try that with your solo ones and it'll be much more entertaining. Just my 2 cents worth
Let’s all calm down and see if we still know his name by this time next year. Hope he pans out but let’s be real about his chances of making this team.
You are right of course, but keep in mind that we are picking at 30 and 54, so we can't expect to find a LeBron or Wemby at that end of the draft. The fact that we got 2 guys who have this kind of potential to help the team is exciting.
@@Ironfangzu yes, we are lucky to be in this position where we can draft two guys and if they make the roster, great! And if not, it’s not the end of the world.
@@doublewideswhat are you talking about ‘lucky’?? How in the heck are we lucky to be in this spot…? Every team drafts. We didn’t trade the picks. These guys might be nobody’s. How are we lucky?? Fanboys everywhere
@@Ironfangzueveryone has potential. You’d be saying this same thing no matter who they picked.
@@subri120499 maybe lay off the booze before replying to comments. Maybe then you would make more sense. Trolls everywhere
Both celtics draft picks are 24 yrs. Old. The difference in maturity between a 24 yr. Old and a 18 yr. Old is astronomical. So of course they look great in college. We need to wait and see if this strategy pans out.
❤
Bill bellichick has taught you well my son. Use the force
Ok thx bro
I mean can anything be considered a steal if 54 teams passed on them? Not saying it's not a good pic but using the term like steel usually would mean you're getting someone that's above their perceived value. This guy's ranked 75th overall so not really a steal. Maybe a compelling pic but not something that they're actually getting value above what the perception is,
Brad Stevens need sign Mo Mamba ?
We still need to get a big man
does anyone else wish they had drafted bronny just to get over on the lakers....again!!!!!!
Brogdon was traded for Jrue not KP.
Correct although the original plan was to trade him for KP the clippers backed out because of his physical. Or some kind of information about his knee. But you are right technically he went to Portland.
And has since been traded again
Center Position 2025: QUETA,, QUETA,, QUETA!
Go Gonzaga
so this is the tillman insurance? small ball big (big wing size) that shoots well from 3? i guess that's good for mazzula ball. not impressed with the rebounding or rim protection. hopefully he's good enough to be that switching big that tillman played.
i did like that brad didnt draft a guard. not as impressed with this pick as Baylor. i hoped brad would trade up to pick up flip, klintman or smith (all went before pick 38).
I gave brad a B for baylor. I give him a C for watson. so I guess overall grade would be C+. will see if my assessment of him changes in summer league. i have a feeling i'll be upgrading the grade of Baylor.
You guys know that KP is probably out 5 to 6 months...that makes ot November or December return...
We broke that down in a recent video!
Don’t blow off kp like he is gonna come back and just play 50 games like a brand new corvette..they gave him a month off and he couldn’t last 2 games before injuring something only 34 people in the world have ever injured..make every effort to sign mo bamba strong defense blocker rebounder rim stuffer that’s all they need queta won’t cut it
Should of drafted bronny James
Springer and Brisset probably gone ans with KP out I see Drummond getting some notice
Drummond? I dont think brad wants him.
I just wish he was taller than 6’8
Must sign Mo Wagner, lure brother in the future
Mo would return to Boston too👀
@@CelticsDigest i feel like hes gotten a lot better since
Love the fire he plays with, but I’m afraid he’s worth more than the minimum
mo isnt an FA,
@@WillEsCargo much, much more.
😂😂😂
Stop with the Bronny James shit people!! If you know anything about basketball, you would know that number 1, he plays a position that we dont need. We have too many guards and hes not a 3 and D guy as hes not yet a great shooter from 3. His stats in USC were absolutely terrible. You cant draft someone just because his last name is James. Baylor schiermann rightnow, is a better player then james and so isnt Anton johnson. These were the perfect pics to fit our system. Bronny is only 6"1. He still needs 2 or 3 years to develop. We need guys we can plug and play by 2025 as we are in win now mode. Stop with the Bronny shit please!! Fml!!
What do you guys at Celtics Digest think of picking up Dwight Howard?
No ty
It’s a no for me, seems to slow for the NBA at this point
We don't need him playing with their balls in the locker room lol
But they could have had Bronny!! Jk
Would have been a funny story for sure 😂
