Re: Official Boston Celtics Thread

Not heard the latest news from Chad Ford you have provided. However, why would you not want us to pick Bender at #3? He's going to end up being a really good player in this NBA. We need some big guys that can score & play defense. He can do both.

I have seen chat about Dunn & a little about Jamal Murray but not anything in regards to Chriss. I would not be in favor or Chriss or Dunn if you ask me. We already have tons of guards. I'm ok with Murray but I'd prefer Hield over him as a SG.

I guess we would be trading a couple of those guards away assuming we do pick a guard or two in the draft.

This Chriss kid has been shooting up the board the last day or 2. Literally first day I heard of him was either yesterday or the day before.

I've know about Chriss all along. I watched him play for Washington in a couple of games this past season. He didn't impress me at all. I know he was a freshman but he should have come back for his sophomore season to improve his game.

However, seeing his draft status keeps rising then maybe he has done the right thing. I'm just not impressed with him. I would be extremely disappointed if we drafted him with that 3rd overall pick. I mean extremely disappointed. There are better players ahead of him & we need a big man more than we need a PG/SG/SF.

The only real skill I saw out of Chriss was hustle & a decent defender. Not much offensively. He was a top 100 recruit though coming into last season. I just don't see the need to draft him. There are quite a few players better than him.

I would say in my opinion he shouldn't even be a top 10 pick maybe even top 15. I could see him being drafted 15-20 though. But, my opinion doesn't count. It's what the teams think about him. I just say we can do better with that 3rd pick than Chriss.

Re: Official Boston Celtics Thread

Chad Ford believes the Boston Celtics could be "narrowing down" their options for the No. 3 pick to a trio of candidates: Kris Dunn, Jamal Murray and Marquese Chriss.

At this point my mindset is anyone but Dragan Bender. What I want the most is to trade the pick. Want to accelerate the rebuild process.

my mindset is the opposite. lol. Agree on trading the pick if possible but Bender would be my preference.

Never mind this Chad Ford nonsense. I should have known better than to trust a headline behind paywall (ESPN Insider) without reading the meat of the report. Chad's reasoning for the C's drafting Dunn is because he would be the most pure PG in the roster. Which is true, but he goes on to say the pick would result in IT being traded.

I have a bias against drafting foreign white basketball palaces.

What about players like Dirk & Porzingis that came from European white palaces? You don't like these type players either?

Of course I like Dirk and Portzingis. Drafting a kid from overseas worries me is all. I have a preconceived notion that they will more often than not be a complete and total failure.
