Just looked up that Cliff Alexander.  Wow.  I think Okafor and Towns are #1 & 2.  But Cliff ain't far behind.  Dude reminds me of Amar'e Stoudamire from his prime.

From what I see so far, he is already better than Stoudamire, especially at the defensive end. I wouldn't mind trading either Sully or KO for him. He is a banger down low and unlike Randle, he actually plays defense and anchors it.

can you tell that much from this video? I want to see how he performs at the collegiate level first before making any sort of judgement.

  I'd say one of the reasons he reminds you of Amare (or better) is because he's doing that against HS kids, not players like DRob or Hakeem. Makes a difference.

I hope a center..a top three type....a serious good one .

But we have to out tank several very bad clubs also looking to improve.

But it's just still building a team, Celtics can't do anything long as LeBron is in the east .

LeBron controls the NBA ..when he no longer the Alpha dog or instantly makes any team a contender , then the Celtics will use their assets.


I think Boston and LA are biding their time...... So rebuild while LeBron is at his pinnacle , when he starts to fall off ...then Boston will be ready to step in with their bucket of assets .

Right now it's what ever team James is on vs who comes out of the West....for three more years .

Well, he have a whole year to prove himself in college. I think the upcoming draft is just as talented as this year.

What college is that kid going to? I like how he dunks with aggression. That translated at any level. You can see his aggression and athleticism regardless of the competition. Btw he's playing with kids his age lol, it's not like he's not going to play with close to the same age group in college. It's basketball it's not football.

I'm not saying he's KG or Kobe or Lebron, but they all looked fine at age 18 playing in the NBA, yes they had their issues , their issues were like any nba rookie though. This kid looks good and I think I'm more excited for this draft class then this years class.

We have 3 1st rounders... I mean we can make the playoffs and still end up with a top 5 pick, whether by trade, or other team sucking.
I can't wait till the year begins

Lol.  I loved Ren and Stimpy.  I know it's painful, but another year of pain could set us up well in the future.
