But really, how come no one is talking about Anthony Randolph? Legit 6'10" height, has shown promising flashes. Still relatively young (turns 23 later this month - 6 months younger than JJJ). Can't be terribly expensive. Why not take a flyer?
If we want a skinny, ultra athletic, floor running four, I say we work on developing JaJuan Johnson instead.
Anthony Randolph has wayyy more upside than JJJ, imo.
I think that JJJ's upside is vastly under-rated due to the fact that he stayed in college for four years and was twenty-two when he entered the league.
I feel that ultimately he could be a very good fit on a Rondo led team for the same reasons that many of you are high on Anthony Randolph.
I get that they are the same age and that Randolph already has 3 years of NBA seasoning and had a lot more hype entering the league, but I'd rather stick with JaJuan.
JaJuan may develop slower, but my hope is that he develops better habits both mentally and physically as a member of the Boston Celtics with the mentors he has around him and the culture
of the franchise than Anthony Randolph has been doing bouncing around between losers in his first three years in the league.
It's just too early to give up on JJJ, as far as I'm concerned.
