Boston is bad at Drafting

[AirTupac]

They have been picking players and failing for 20 years.
Ron Mercer
Troy Bell
Kendrick Brown
Jeff Green
Kelly Olynk
Marcus Smart

Those guys are all top 20 picks and are trash. James Young as well.

Those boys should look over to LA town and see how to draft.

Clarkson - 2nd round
Larry Nance - 2nd round

We already have a better coach and future core :lol

[Springsteen]

Good to see you're on another streak of retarded threads.

Come up with a refute bozo :roll: :roll:

Randle > Marcus Smart. Most people would agree.

[bigkingsfan]

Boston drafted Jeff Green in the same way LA drafted Shaq.

[Nick Young]

Boston fans think Marcus Smart is good, AirTupac. They aren't going to understand this thread.

Lmao I'm shocked at how stupid Celts fans are

[Hittin_Shots]

Lakers fans puffing up again in their offseason.

[TheMilkyBarKid]

Lakers fans forever with an inferiority complex. Someone has to win the second most guys, chill.

Like C's 60s titles have any real value :banana:

[Sportal]

The Lakers fans chirping like crazy... But who are you guys looking forward to next year in the 2017 lottery?

That pick is gone, unless its a 1-3 again :oldlol:

You mean sixers?

[Genaro]

Nance was late first, not second

[fiddy]

Nance was late first, not second
Was projected to go 2nd rounder. Still a solid pick so far.

[Lebron23]

You mean sixers?


I think they are going to win at least 35 games next season. They fired their terrible GM.

Unfortunately for them Harry Giles > Simmons and Ingram.

[MellowYellow]

Getting Pierce at 10 was the last good thing they did in the draft.

[Lebron23]

Drafting Avery Bradley at 19th is also a solid pick.

[Uncle Drew]

You're so full of shit, it's actually amazing.

[Uncle Drew]

Jared Sullinger at 21
Avery Bradley at 19
Al Jefferson at 15
Tony Allen at 25
Chauncey Billups at 3

Terrible draft choices.

[Lebron23]

Jared Sullinger at 21
Avery Bradley at 19
Al Jefferson at 15

Terrible draft choices.


Cavs should have drafted Al Jefferson in 2004. He averaged 42-20 in High School. Luke Jackson was an NBA Draft Bust. Jefferson could have been a good replacement to Boozer.

[CJ Mustard]

What are the Lakers good at? Being located in LA? They drafted at best the 5th best player in the Draft last year with the 2nd pick. Drafted Randle, who's pretty trash in his own right. Won't be making the Playoffs any time in the near future.

If they don't luck out with a star FA, they aren't going anywhere any time soon.

Man the lakers could draft simmons sign Barnes and Whiteside and still not be able to make to the playoffs and players still don't want to sit next to russell

[Prime_Shaq]

Marcus Smart >

[ukfan22]

I couldn't believe when they took Young, it's like no one actually watched games

[bigt]

Even if he never pans out, it was worth it for Bill Simmons' live reaction :oldlol:

[DCL]

Getting Pierce at 10 was the last good thing they did in the draft.

pierce fell on their lap.

he was passed by so many gm's, so he was kinda an almost-no-brainer when he was still available at 10th.

[kurple]

he's better than DLo

[Snarky Narc]

Boston drafted Jeff Green in the same way LA drafted Kobe.
Fixed.

[MMM]

The Celtics didn't draft Jeff Green they drafted Green for the Sonics and got Ray Allen in the deal.

years later they traded for Green but that doesn't now mean he was drafted by the Celtics

Marcus Smart isn't a star but he will be a lock down defender
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW44FMmALf8

his defense already contributed in completely changing a playoff game and shutting down a player on the verge of going for 50.

wont even mention OP's team but it is interesting that LA fans always got the Celtics name in their mouth

[JohnnySic]

In all fairness some of Ainge's picks have been questionable but no more so than most gm's. The Spurs seem to be the one team that consistently finds gems with low picks.

He's really good at flopping

You mean Giles who has had two ACL tears so far?

And Hinkie >

[Hittin_Shots]

Well according to laker fans every player on lakers list is apparently the next superstar so i guess they got the next 10 championships locked up.

[Jameerthefear]

smart > randle

[kurple]

Lawson - 18
Faried - 22
Fournier - 20
Gary Harris -19
Nurkic - 15
Lauvergne - 4something
Jokic - 4something

[Real Men Wear Green]

They have been picking players and failing for 20 years.
Ron Mercer
Troy Bell
Kendrick Brown
Jeff Green
Kelly Olynk
Marcus Smart And Ainge has been GM for 20 years, apparently. And the Cs didn't draft Green to trade him for Ray Allen. And it's strange that, in Ainge's 20 years as GM, you only come with 6 picks that show what a bad jobs he's done. In his 20 years as GM Ainge should have around 20 first round picks so if he's done such a bad job you should have a lot of ammo, right?
Clarkson - 2nd round
Larry Nance - 2nd round

We already have a better coach and future core :lolYeah, being the worst Laker team of all time was 100% about the coach, not about the roster at all. I expect a major improvement by the Lakers. They should at least win 20 games.

You didn't hear lakers are trading jordan clarkson straight up for PG13.

[miggyme1]

I don't see how jeff green counts when he was shipped to seattle before he even donned a Celtics jersey.

its like saying the Orlando magic drafted great and putting chris webber on the list.

or the hornets drafted great and having kobe on the list

or the bucks drafted great and have dirk on the list

One thing they all have in common was being highly productive in college. Ainge usually goes for the highly productive college player. Kedrick Brown was a crazy pick because the guy could not play basketball at all. He could jump high and hustled.

Ainge didn't draft Kedrick Brown. Ainge didn't take over Cs until 2003. OP is just trolling.

[Jameerthefear]

olynyk isn't a bad player btw

[MMM]

maybe op meant gerald green who was a bust but he was projected to be top 5 and the Celtics got him at 18.

Also half the picks mentioned were made in the Chris Wallace era

I never understood the Kedrick Brown pick. How do you take him (especially immediately after taking Joe Johnson, same position) with Zach Randolph, Tony Parker, and Gilbert Arenas still on the board. :confusedshrug: :facepalm

James Young is a recent one I dont get. What did they see in him? I see nothing.

[CelticBaller]

We stay winning

Kedrick was a JUCO guy that had an NBA body and Boston thought they were going to get a draft gem.

James Young could shoot in college and had good size while being really young.

I pray to God danny doesn't draft another combo guard or SG. I love Buddy but I'd rather trade the pick or take a foreign player in the Porzi style

[Crown&Coke]

He drafted one of my favorite players at like 20 so IDGAF he swung and missed on some

Avery Bradley. Undersized 2, with an ankle problem coming out of Texas. I didn't know he would be this good but I don't think most GM's did.

[dreamwarrior]

Prime Ron Mercer was better than prime Ray Allen. So he got one good pick.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Uhhh Randle averaged a double double in his rookies season, how is that trash?

[AirBonner]

Celtics rebuilding with a winning culture young players contributing :cheers: Meanwhile Lakers look primed for a top lottery pick next year :lol
