could Jaylen Brown have been the best pick in the draft?

[AirBonner]

How can you limit Jaylen's career with Lebron as his ceiling? The guy could easily surpass Lebron and Jordan and set the new standard for greatness in the sport. The sky is the limit for undersized interior guys who can't shoot.

how is he undersized as a sf? he has the same measurable as Paul Pierce

Jaylen is 6'5.25" w/o shoes. Pierce was an even 6'6". Negligible, sure...though maybe not?

Jaylen probably has a longer wingspan though

Probably.

I'm not knocking Jaylen. He just doesn't have the SF size to shift to PF in smallball line ups. ...which is fine, just keep him at SF in smallball lineups lol.

Lets see in a couple years. The guy is already strong as hell. He well pack on even more muscle. He doesn't need to change his physique much compared to the other top prospects

any chance OP could have made this thread before the lottery?

Stay mad. How many more years do the nugz have in their rebuild?

Yeah. I mean, to answer your thread title, sure he can be best pick in draft. Anything is possible if Simmons/Ingram turn mediocre, Bender and Chriss don't reach their max god-like potential, etc. I definitely see Jaylen as a potential non-crazy, better version of Lance Stephenson...or I guess like a Jimmy Butler, in a better sense.

Well...to play devil's advocate, I think Nugz look real nice. I think they're a dark horse to make the playoffs. I predict UK Murray will be a bust, but if he's not, watch out. Also, I believe in Malone. Dude can coach. Nugz are right there...

what would I possibly be mad at? danny ainge turning down our offer so we still end up getting our guy at 7 instead of giving up assets to get him at 3? um, no...im cool with that.

im just calling you out for being a huge homer. zero chance you make this thread before the lottery and almost zero before the draft.

we just finished year 1 of our current rebuild. so far, not bad.

Oh I forgot you have to be good to begin with in order to have a "rebuild "

[PejaNowitzki]

I think that is his floor. His ceiling is Lebron James. He is crazy athletic. Can drive to the hoop at will and is already a good defender. His versatility is comparable as well.

[Run&Gun=Fun]

Dragan is a garenteed bust.

Such a stereo typical, close minded attitude. If he were an American would you say that? Black? Probably haven't even seen him play.

I think he is fine, I am not sure why some other Celtics fan said he is a huge bust, or the Celtics draft screwed up, plz explain.

[SwishSquared]

I doubt it.

I actually like Brown, but I don't really understand what the Celtics are doing.

Would Brown be drafted ahead of Noel if Noel was in this draft? I really don't think Brown would be ranked higher.

But, as always, so much uncertainty with draft picks....and Brown is a special athlete.

I really didn't like what Boston did this draft. I think Ainge and his FO spent too much time leaking stuff to Woj and Stein. I know they had too many picks, but they could have traded down and would have had a shot at Brown. I thought Bender was the guy they'd pick since they could afford to gamble on him panning out due to the remaining BKN draft assets.

I also probably would have done #3 to Philly if they were offering Noel. Especially if they put RoCo on the table, though I doubt they happened.
