Going Commando Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 @StillUnknown the Celtics took your boy Romeo Langford. Not going to lie, that stings a little bit. I think I would have liked to pick him over Hachimura too. But I wonder how he's going to get minutes in that rotation with Smart and Brown. They are pretty well established at SG.

I have no idea if Langford is going to be good, but picking this late in a weak draft, you might as well swing for upside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Ah man, they got my man crush Matisse Thybulle too. I'm going to have to hate that kid now, but I love the way he plays. The Celtics know the value of defense. They are going to be very frustrating to play. Nevermind, looks like they traded Thybulle to the 76ers. I can root for him again.

Destino Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Nassir Little unknowingly predicted who would draft him when he chose that suit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Think the Stanford kid will be the Dubs pick (I'm never right btw) but Bol Bol would be an insane high value low risk pick for them at 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I like that pick of the Florida State kid for the Clippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 There is some straight low ceiling trash being picked ahead of Bol at this point. There must be something seriously wrong with him or someone is getting a massive steal this late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this in the Wizards thread, but my suspicion is that the only thing that could make him fall so far is that Altman or someone on that staff trashed him. He must be radioactive at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I mean it does seem like his weight is like right on the edge. 280 is a lot for a dude his size and the way he moves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basketball athletes are not going to be used to a guy like him. He's going to making 10 year vets call him sir. He'll be one of the strongest guys in the NBA as a rookie.

He is fat. LeBron in Miami was massive and he was at 265 at 6’9. Zion doesn’t have LeBrons height or muscles. Zion is just fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not wiry, and gonna "Grow into his body" like a lot of other guys. He'll already be one of the heavier dudes in the league. So , from an injury and diet standpoint, it will be interesting to see what his playing weight will be as the years go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry.Randolphe Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Zion is basically Barkley with more muscle.....he needs to lean out a bit if he wants a long career. His knees won't be able to sustain that amount of force every time he dunks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it to take an 18yo Serbian kid they have been trying to hide on their G league team this year. Alen Smailagic I suspect they were afraid he wouldn't be there at #58.
