Nah. Presti has always loved Oladipo. Oladipo is a likely replacement for Waiters. No way OKC matches on an offer sheet for Waiters this summer.Oladipo, wow. KD bolt insurance?
He looks a lot more athletic than Sully at least.Ainge loves him some fat power forwards!
Huh? He's nothing like Sully in any way. He's in shape and a terrific shooter.Another Sully.
Ben Affleck's at the draft?(Camera shows Celtics fan angrily shaking his phone and shouting "Who the fuck are you")
Rece Davis: There is a new member to his fan club!
Clearly you should be in charge. They need someone who can look at a draft from 5 years ago and tell them who they should have picked.Just wow. I didn't think Ainge could possibly blow the first two picks this badly.
and olynk with the 3 point range. The c's can dump both sully and olynk now as trade fodder. We have too many players anywayAnother Sully.
It isn't just about hindsight...I could have listed 10 other players.Thank you, Captain Hindsight.
French league players usually translate, and he projects as something like Paul Milsap with less defense and more shooting.Someone convince me we didn't draft a French poor mans employee number 8
Expert on the 20 year old dude from France?Just wow. I didn't think Ainge could possibly blow the first two picks this badly.
He's blind, too?Well, they've got some strong, athletic young kids. At least Yabusele can shoot. I've seen the Millsap comp, at least on offense.
I would be ecstatic if we did at 16, but he's a very different player.Someone convince me we didn't draft a French poor mans employee number 8
I changed my mind best draft ever.Bill Simmons @BillSimmons 1m1 minute ago
The Celtics just took the 7th pick in the draft at no. 3 and used no. 16 on a French guy sitting in the stands. I'm gonna make a drink.
I shouldn't be in charge. Just stop. I am allowed to be critical of the picks especially when compared to other players that were available.Clearly you should be in charge. They need someone who can look at a draft from 5 years ago and tell them who they should have picked.
Not super sold on heavyde050's ability to do that.Clearly you should be in charge. They need someone who can look at a draft from 5 years ago and tell them who they should have picked.
I'm as guilty of this as anyone, but I think we treat mocks as a gold standard when we really shouldn't, especially after the lottery.I actually like the profile of Yabusele and he was linked to the Celtics in most mocks....it's just tough not to be disappointed when these mocks had him going at pick 31 not 16

I agree 100%Not super sold on heavyde050's ability to do that.
He certainly seems like a guy who has the build and athleticism to do so if he puts in the effort.General sense on Yabusele is that he can play offensively, but his defense is a major question mark.
Cut the shit. People are entitled to varying opinions whether you agree with Ainge 100% of the time or not.
I agree on Giddens 100% (end of the first round), but Melo could have been a good pick (22nd).I agree. But people complaining about JR Giddens and Fab Melo is ridiculous given the very small odds of getting a good NBA player at those spots.
These tweets get more and more depressing as the night goes on...K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop 1m1 minute ago
The Bulls' talks to acquire Kris Dunn were more serious with the Celtics than the Timberwolves, per source.
Absolutely could have been taken between 16 and 23.Is there any reasonable chance he is gone before 23?
This is worse than Tavon Wilson in the 2nd
Maybe DA could have found another James Young.Bill Simmons @BillSimmons 1m1 minute ago

Well they're both not quite sure as to what is going downBill is heavyd?
Have Bradley, Sullenger, Smart, Olynyk, and Rozier not played any role in getting back to "competitiveness"? That is a third of the team right there, eh?Ainge has done a great job getting the Celts back to competitiveness, but it has not been through the draft.
Whoops, I meant Gallaudet. Another French guy.He's blind, too?
