Langford: Ottima con riserva (talento vastissimo ma equilibrio tutto da sviluppare)
Williams: Buonissima (con 5 cm in più era in lotteria, da amanti dello small ball per noi è perfetto e se tutto fila liscio entra già subito nelle rotazioni)
Edwards: Buona (super tiratore, guardia piccolissima ma che la mette da ogni posizione, in diretta l'ho paragonato a Eddie House, come ho scritto era uno di quelli che avrei preso)
Waters : alla 51 con Sagaba Konate disponibile non avrei esitato e sarei andato sul maliano... spero ardentemente che lo prendiamo in squadra per la summer league

dateci un'occhiata:

faccio tanta fatica anche io a comprendere queste cose...

Brandon Clarke non l'avrei mai saltato ...
Ty Jerome era il tipo di giocatore che bilanciava il "rischio" Langford

per qualche situazione imprevedibile alla vigilia avremmo potuto portare a casa Langford, Clarke, Williams e Jerome ... saremmo stati i trionfatori del draft

A parte Romeo per cui Daniele immagino sia super contento, direi che non ci cambia molto. Sono molto curioso di vedere come definiamo il roster...al momento sono un pò preoccupato..

NBA rumors: Tacko Fall to sign Exhibit 10 contract with Celtics, play in summer league
By Nick Goss June 21


The Boston Celtics summer league team is going to be must-watch for basketball fans.

The C's could have three of their 2019 NBA Draft picks -- first-rounders Romeo Langford and Grant Williams, as well as second-rounder Carsen Edwards -- participate in Las Vegas, but the most intriguing player on Boston's roster might be Tacko Fall.

ESPN's Jonathan Givony reported Friday the undrafted free agent will sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Celtics.

Tacko Fall will sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Boston Celtics, a source told ESPN. Pencil in July 8th at 430 at Thomas and Mack for your first TACKO Vegas Summer League fix.



The 7-foot-7, 310-pound center played four seasons for the University of Central Florida. He averaged 11.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game for the Knights during the 2018-19 campaign. C's fans might remember Fall from the 2019 NCAA Tournament, when his UCF squad nearly upset Zion Williamson and Duke in the second round.

e questo scusate?

Ne parlavamo ieri Massimo, diciamo... no, non diciamo nulla.

gira voce che danny leggendo il forum di celtics.it sia rimasto deluso dalle critiche di un suo aficionado, tale lucaceltics, su bolbol, e allora pam, solo per lucagioia, ha preso un 2.30 per la summer league.

poi non ditemi che non sono un esperto.

pochi giorni fa dicevo, per me massimo uno due rookie in roster.eccome no....

mortacci siamo a 5 e mancano ancora i contratti two way o che casso sono....

reintreghiamo jabari bird.

se rimane un rumors è meglio

Firmato, per fortuna per ora solo per un 10 gg.

Tacko Fall

CELTICS Everything you need to know about the Celtics draft picks

Romeo Langford https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont ... 46t3pvLN8Q
Indiana University
SG/SF
14th Pick

One year ago, Romeo Langford was the No. 1 ranked shooting guard (RSCI #6 overall prospect) in a star-studded 2018 recruiting class and now he’s a Boston Celtic. As Celtics fans have learned in the past few weeks, life comes at you fast. After an uneven freshman year at Indiana, Langford, is joining a roster that is far from settled. It’s hard to say at this point how he will fit in with the current mix of talent (and how much that may change in the coming weeks) but betting on pedigree in the late lottery is worth it regardless.

At 6-foot-6 and 215 pounds with a near 7-foot wingspan, Langford does one thing the Celtics have sorely need; he gets to the line. It’s rare for someone his age to be so comfortable playing downhill and attacking defenders under control. Basketball in the Big Ten is a slog and despite playing with only one working thumb, he had a positive assist/turnover ratio (with a heavy usage rate) and got to the free throw line at a rate that would have been the best on the Celtics last year (per 100 possessions). He’s an advanced pick-and-roll ball-handler for a 19-year-old, pushes the ball in transition and rebounds well for his position. I can see him being let loose in a second unit role in a way that Boston tried to do with , except he’d be potentially better equipped for it. The shooting doesn’t worry me, the feel for shot making is there and the mechanics aren’t broken. He loads his jumper by almost rolling the ball off his forehead. I’m not a shot doctor, I only play one on the internet, but I’m guessing they will get to work on that right away. Like Avery Bradley in 2010, Danny is willing to bet on the pedigree of a one-and-done guard who didn’t have a lights-out freshman year. It worked out for the Celtics then, we’ll see which direction this one swings.



(Note: Some have noted Romeo didn’t seem thrilled to be picked by Boston. I wouldn’t read too much into that, he’s not that type of rah-rah guy that had been interviewed throughout the night. His intensity can come and go on the court too, so be warned.)

Grant Williams https://youtu.be/PkR54jCy3V0
Tennessee
PF
22nd Pick

When picking the 20s and into the 2nd round, I believe you should value three things 1) High-Major Experience 2) Production and 3) Skill. Players selected in this range are often looking at lives as NBA bench players (or worse) and you need a guy who is mature, works hard and has the confidence to produce in small windows. It’s the formula that pushed Semi Ojeyele into my arms two years ago and it’s the same narrative Williams will need to follow if he wants to find a spot in the Celtics crowded wing rotation.

At 6-foot-7, 240 pounds with a 6-foot-11 wingspan, Williams is the two-time SEC player of the year (which is outrageous when you think about the talent in the SEC) and a proven winner. A generation ago he would have been an undersized power-forward and a tweener, which is the worst thing you could be then. Now in 2019, he’s pro-typical small-ball four who is stout enough to rebound and defend in the paint and has a budding perimeter game. Right now he’s most comfortable working out of the mid-post, which has shown he values as a playmaking space, but it’s hard to see him getting featured reps there in the NBA. Williams is a high-IQ, coaches dream-type, but defending dynamic perimeter players without fouling or getting separation off the dribble against NBA athletes will be a work-in-progress. He’ll need to make open 3s, finish straight line drives and prove that he will be able to defend smaller players in space. Essentially, he will need to be better than Semi Ojeyele if he wants to crack the rotation I can’t see them sharing the court at the same time. This is of course if Semi is still around come next September. If not, Grant Williams will be happy to fill his spot on the (weight room) bench.



Carsen Edwards https://youtu.be/dE-kCAH_9m0
Purdue
PG/SG
33rd pick (via Sixers)

Carsen Edwards in the perfect player for my late-pick formula. He’s a highly decorated veteran of a high-major college basketball program who improved every year and is very good at something, and that something is getting buckets. Stevens loves to give his lead ball handlers the greenest of lights when it comes to attacking in ball-screen and dribble hand-off actions and Edwards will be full throttle from the first tip in Las Vegas. He broke all sorts of three-point shooting records this past season, making almost four per game, all heavily guarded. He’s essentially a 6-foot (wink wink) shooting guard, but the Celtics have had success with this type of player under Stevens and I wouldn’t be surprised if Edwards was playing more than Romeo Langford and Grant Williams early in the season. The Celtics will need 2nd unit ball handling and shot making, and I’m confident that he’ll be able to provide that in the small windows he’s provided. If you think back to the pop that Shane Larkin gave Boston off the bench in 2017-18, Edwards can



Tremont Waters https://youtu.be/CgUTBGHpxzQ

LSU
PG
51st pick

As a small, disruptive two-way point guard, Tremont Waters is essentially just straight-up Shane Larkin. He’s very small, but an explosive athlete. He can score from each level, run pick and roll and completely take out an opponent's lead ball handler. As a first-team all-SEC performer and SEC defensive player of the year, it’s clear that he can play at the highest level in college. However, he will be likely be running the show up in Portland. One thing is for sure, he will make summer league at least 25 percent more fun!

La coppia ronfo fall in summerleague .. voglio vedere chi attacca il ferro

Mi sembra un buon video per approfondire il nostro Draft 2019.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3HtuzJeF8k

A caldo e a notte fonda, si fanno commenti non sempre lucidissimi, io ci provavo ma mi rendo conto che arrivavo al draft con le mie preferenze, le mie visioni, il mio schema mentale. Insomma, condizionamenti.
Avevo già pregustato l'idea di Brandon Clarke tra le nostre fila e averlo saltato mi è dispiaciuto.
Mi piaceva l'idea di un Ty Jerome in biancoverde e lo abbiamo scambiato per una 29/30 del 2020.

A freddo:
Romeo Langford è un talento luminoso che deve solo mettere in ordine la sua selezione di tiro.
Grant Williams è un ragazzo già pronto, forte, scaltro, preparato, che passa, difende, salta : è il tipo di ala che cerchiamo da anni (Yabusele, Ojeleye) e forse finalmente l'abbiamo trovata!
Carsen Edwards è anche lui uno di quelli che potrebbero entrare immediatamente nei meccanismi di Stevens e la mette da ogni distanza.

Così mi tiri su di morale
A caldo quando ho visto la trade down e Clarke andare via la scelta prima della nostra qualche vaffanc... l'ho scritto aime' anche sulla chat della diretta.
Ora si tratterà di vedere nel lungo periodo chi tra i due si dimostrerà migliore (Clarke o Williams). E se Bol diventerà mai un giocatore o un caso medico.

In diretta ti avevo chiesto un voto ad Ainge e avevi dato 6,5.
Confermi il giudizio?
