Who is Ivica Zubac? Anyone?

Really not liking that pick. It's just a 2nd rounder but there was better talent that could have contributed sooner and fit better with the roster. Oh well.

I thought it was a good pick, weren't people talking about taking him in the first round?

We'll see. I don't like Cs who can't defend or rebound.
Draftexpress had him ranked 16th and the only reason he fell is because teams wanted to stash him, but he wants to come over now.

Celtics going almost all foreign. The Greg Popovic route. Not a bad thing, but I'm sure the fans hate it

They pretty much have to, they don't have roster space.

Ingram is laid back as fuck.
This thread indicates yes. Based on what happened, they had big plans for number 3, and if that didn't work out, they had a backup plan. The picks they made seemed solid.
It was fairly predictable, especially Zizic I was pretty sure would end up on the Cs. I actually like the way they used the picks on the frontcourt - I just wished I liked Jaylon Brown better. His stats are terrifying. Maybe they know better.
I really liked Denver's draft.
I like the Oneaku pick. Models like him. Great offensive rebounder. Plus he shoots free throws underhanded which is fun
Face it Tiger..

we're done, hopefully Masaiah will do some solid trade, I'd much rather sign and trade Biyombo for John Henson's cheaper contract. and I want Chriss.
depending on what memphis wants for Deyonta, I want him too.

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
If it's the Pop route, then none of those guys are coming over until they're past their prime.

Am I missing something here? Why are Celtics fan mad about Jaylen Brown? I saw that kid play at Berkeley and he's legit.

Because when you play like shit the second half of the season and your ass in your one tourney game, people tend to not like you

I just worry about his actual skills. The statistical models around him are frightening. But him running the court off of TOs will be really exciting.
After what was being dangled it was disappointing. Kris Dunn was more of a sure thing not only as a player but was a great centerpiece for trades.
At 16 you have a guy few hVe heard of and was almost guaranteed to be a mid 2nd rounder, much like Dozier last year.
23rd was actually a good pick though.
Celtics have been hyping these picks as franchising changing and yet they stayed exactly the same...

Denver seems hellbent on getting shooters, can't hurt
All I see is a guy who can run on the break. I don't see much actual basketball skill.

the Robert Sacre era is over in Los Angeles.
Hopefully the Lakers are expecting to address the C position via free agency. Get Al Horford or Joakim Noah on the phone.
Ainge only picks athletes who can play d and can't shoot.

Like four guys just got picked that I would rather have over Zubaz. Feels bad man.

Guys, I'm drunk and now I'm fine with our draft.
Slow Roy is a free agent. you guys are free to take him.
Ninja Scooter

He's a free agent. I could see Dallas going after him if they strike out on Dwight though.
Where did you get that from?
Isn't he an ufa?
Lakers defense and rebounding is already stacked.

Some of the stuff I've been reading up on. Most of them describe him as good offensively around the basket, but a below the rim athlete with questionable rebound and shot blocking rate. And he's probably too big and not rangy enough to play the 4. I just don't think you can win with defensively challenged Centers these days. The rules are too geared towards letting awesome athletes attack the fuck out of the basket. Would have take Diallo, McCaw, Zimmerman or Onuaku over him.
Timothe Luwawu is a combo sf/sg who runs the fast break really well, shot 37% from 3, and was a major player for his French league team, which btw, the French league is the second best league in the world.
Furkan Korkmaz is a 19 year old guard who shot 45% from 3 and playa on the same team as Dario Saric
