Player development is weird. For anyone all that worried about Nesmith and Langford due to playing time, I remind them of this guy who's blossomed into quite the player.I'm looking at him purely from a shooting standpoint. I agree with the consensus on his overall game. I think his form looks good but I see a shooter who is rushing and not getting his feet set at times. We'll know more about him once he settles down, which I don't anticipate to be until next year. I remain quite bullish on him. I won't begrudge anyone for not being as bullish as I am. I admittedly have a Vandy connection and bias there but he was electric last year. He played very well against Auburn, for instance, where he was guarded by Okoro for some of the game. I really hope he develops into that guy at the NBA level (obviously 52% ain't happening but low 40 to mid 40s is certainly within reach). But, there is always the risk of an RJ Hunter situation. I'm less concerned about that with Nesmith due to his body type.

I'd rather just hold on to AN + RL and hope one or both develop. They offer far more value to the Celtics than anything they'd get in return at this point.
The C's first round pick this year probably has more value than RL and AN. Would a team even trade a 1st round pick for RL or AN?
It's possible RL comes back and builds up some trade value but we'll see.
