A bit early for the draft but this guy would be a perfect fit for Boston.. 7'1" shot blocker, great rebounder, second chance points galore, and could step back and shoot the three.
Back story is he went the WKU but left without notice. It was speculated he left because his godfather and former Celtic Shammon Williams had resigned. Nevertheless he has no college experience and can possibly slip in the draft a bit... DA will probably still have to trade up a few spots but the risk/reward on this guy is off the charts... Especially for the teams most glaring need...

Not the toughest guy in the world though

He withdrew from the combine without explanation. He either has a promise or he’s got some issues.

Yeah, his mysterious year + this has me wondering a lot. If he's got a promise, good on him. But if he doesn't, I really don't know what to make of him.

Too early for a promise. Let’s see what teams he works out for. If he declines a lot, I buy your promise theory.

huge red flags. You don't go an entire year without basketball then don't show up to the combine to show if you still have the same athleticism you had a year ago
If deyonta davis is 2nd rounder, Guy might go 2nd round to undrafted. This type of gamble is on another level

I want no part of Michell Robinson.

It is not too early
Chandler Hutchison has a promise already.

First I know nothing about what he has done this past season to prepare for the draft. Wouldn’t be the first guy to take year off in preparation.
Guys like this with their elite athleticism and length often create buzz and hype during NBA workouts. Would be unsurprised to see him climb as we get closer to the draft. Right now ESPN has Lakers taking him in mid twenties.

Interesting...

On TV Wow just said he probably has a promise by a team in the 20's and we won't see him til draft night
👀

I was shocked he got one too. Some GM is very much in love.

Celtics are 27!

I would much rather have Mo Wagner. Think he fits what Brad does and would be a nice piece off the bench.

I love Mo Wagner too. He's like an athletic, aggressive KO. His defense needs work but he seems very active for a 7 footer.

I’ve posted this several times and will say it again: Robinson was more impress than Ayton or Bamba in HS All Star game a couple of years ago. Great energy. Defense. Shot blocking. What we should be in the market for.
High risk high return kid.

I guess if we're picking #27 it isn't even that high a risk ;)

ainge and his promises
-
What I don't get is if he has a promise wouldn't you still workout now that you have a safety net? I mean maybe he comes out and wows everyone peaking the interest of a lottery team.
Unless it's lottery level promise this just seems like a bad business decision.

The promise comes with conditions. That's the benefit of the promise
"stop working out for other teams and we will draft you.
Player: deal"

You take a guarantee to be a 1st round pick. It's guaranteed money.

That's all well and good, but how's his work ethic and motor, not to mention skill level?

Since we literally only have HS to work off of, the picture is fuzzy. Work ethic, who knows. Skill level, pretty raw.
But even in the worthless dregs of HS basketball, his in game motor was off the charts. It's almost like he understood that he could outwork others to get the rebound or a loose ball. That's rare for a basketball player who has the physical gifts he does. 7'1 and can run like a deer, yet felt a need to hustle more than players 4 inches shorter than him.

Exactly. That is what distinguishes him from Ayton and Bamba. Much greater sense of urgency in court. Phenomenal on the offensive boards and blocking shots. Would def fill a need for our squad.

If this translates to the NBA, I would love him. Seeing guys who hard after rebounds (Baynes and Theis) has been awesome. Having a 7'1" guy with a long wingspan doing it would be even more awesome
-
He left WKU without even telling any one. And apparently it's unknown who he is currently working out with.
-
ESPN Mock drops him to early 2nd round now. Man I’d love to take a chance on him with our first round pick.
Still think Lakers or someone like the Bucks will pounce on him.
-
CBS Sports Mock Draft has Celtics taking Mitchell Robinson with our 1st round pick.
Hope they're right!

Better high risk high reward pick than Yab that's for sure.

too early to write off Yabu.
this could be more like the Fab pick from several years ago. another pick where Danny took a high risk/high reward big man that didn't pan out.

Agreed. But sometimes if you keep swinging you eventually connect, hit it out of the park. We may have the luxury of taking the risk. Need a long term 5 to invest in, the sooner the better.

So basically ESPN doesn't believe he has a promise in the 1st round I guess.

He has a private Instagram account but luckily he accepted my follow request a few months ago.
Today he posted a photo of him in a Celtics t-shirt.
I’ll share the image once I figure out how to attach it.
Coincidence or ....... ?

While we obviously still need to gather any/more information about his work ethic, etc., this is good to know. Thanks, guys. TPs for the both of you :).

is he a Celtics fan? funny considering the rumors that Lakers promised him
-
Some recent mocks have him sliding out of first round. Seems teams are very wary of his aloofness, perhaps immaturity.
Seems more likely now that he will be available at 27.
It's a shame if he doesn't make it in this league. IMO, Kid is more talented than Ayton and Bamba, at least in high school he was.
Does Danny gamble?
Maybe not. Seems like there will be some ready made guards at 27 who can contribute right away, and we may need to hedge in case we lose Smart in FA.
