Ainge has traded draft picks twice

BK 1st to acquire a star in Kyrie
Acquired Tatum + 1st in return

Ainge and Brad value 1st rounders very highly
Unless we are getting a sure thing(Kyrie) or trade rape(Free 1st)
Safe to assume we are drafting 2019 lol


But those are actually great star players..

Here’s the problem. A guy with Ayton’s incredible physical tools should block a lot of shots, and he just doesn’t. He’s much bigger and longer than the vast majority of the players he faces in college. If he just stands in front of the rim and waves his arms around, he should block shots by osmosis alone. It’s concerning, because centers who don’t block shots in college have not fared well in the NBA. Ayton is blocking shots at a historically low rate for a future lottery pick. There have been 17 NCAA centers drafted in the top 10 since 2010, and Ayton’s freshman year block rate is tied with Cody Zeller’s for second-lowest among the players in that group. Ayton is averaging only 1.7 blocks per game, with a block rate of 4.3 percent, a full standard deviation under the group average of 8.1 percent. Greg Monroe is the only player who blocked fewer shots as a freshman. Ayton is even behind Jahlil Okafor, who had a block rate of 4.5 percent. Monroe and Okafor are not the company an athletic young center should be keeping.

i was thinking of trying to get in the 5-7 range of picks





you flip flop so much


Ayton can be a beast, or he could not be. My point is I'm more dead set on bringing on Bagley honestly.

And you would literally be giving up all of our entire treasure trove of assets to bring in a player who I think won't be as dominant as we think.


Ayton is future HoF imo
He played out of position in college next to another 7 footer lol...i'm not worried about not blocking shots

Also, I don't think that would get it done either
Those picks could end late 1sts

But it's probably not a good move considering how well our player development is right now

I'm just so fucking ready for this thing to take off man.....
I know it hasn't even started yet, but I need to witness

well, every likely draft choice in the top 5 has some concerns.

doncic: athleticism/shooting
ayton: motor/defense
bagley: stretch 4? position in the nba?
bamba: jumpshot/how well he can contribute on offense?
porter: health/what's left from highschool porter?
JJJ: small sample size. his advanded stats look good tho, comparable to towns/embiid

lets see if anyone blows up the combine and/or private workouts.
