Nbadraft has updated Isaac comparison to

Rashard Lewis/Durant

Any review of his workout with the Celts?

That demonstrates how garbage that site is. Comparing Isaac to Durant is downright irresponsible.

That is why Lewis/Durant

Could only mean 20 percent Durant

He does have an intriguing mix of physical tools/skills

Asthma is still a bit of a concern...but if he can manage it...beckham, Bettis has asthma also...

He has a 0% of being Durant. Their games are not alike at all. It's a lazy comparison by a lazy "analyst" who simply looked at a picture of Isaac and saw a tall, lanky wing.

Nobody is saying durant 100 percent

But many 6'11 players can pull this off?

I am thinking Cliff Robinson as a comparison for Isaac.

Cliff Robinson was 6-10 220lbs. Size & athleticism. A terrific defender. Super versatile defensively. He could defend all 3 frontcourt positions and even some two guards. A solid scorer but more comfortable as a 3rd option than a #1 or #2 guy. He was a 20ppg for a few years but seemed happier as a 15-17ppg guy. A bit streaky to be the main scorer. Too big for SFs to handle. To skilled and quick for PFs. A good rebounding SF but below average rebounding PF.

Isaac looks to be a more natural rebounder than Uncle Cliffy. Other than that, I think they share many of the same characteristics.

Great comp.

Think how good Cliff would have been in todays style of play!

Great video compile.  Must say, he gets his shot off quickly.  He will struggle on defensive end initially, but no denying he has NBA style offensive game. Could see Danny trying to make a move to get him.

Add 15 pounds of muscle, asthma under control, continue to expand shooting range

High potential..

Like his willingness to play D , block shots and rebound the ball

High potential, but low floor.  He's much less NBA ready than guys like Fultz, Ball, Tatum and Jackson.

Yes.   Dont forget though he is a pf ... Usually take a little longer to develop

[timriffic]

My feeling is this guy has the highest ceiling of all available players and I would love to see Danny flip #3  for more assets and take this guy at 5

Given the circumstances, that's what I would do as well.

#3 + #37 for #5 + #10

Use #5 to draft Isaac.
Use #10 to draft Ntilikina.

Having said that, I'd much rather have Fultz.

[Londongreen]

Did we have a workout with him?

Did we have a workout with him?

 Not in Boston, but apparently offsite, yes.

Highlights from today's game against the Heat.

15 points (7/12 shooting), 13 rebs in 22 minutes.


Kid can ball.

[CelticsElite]

Not bad. I'd like to see him do this in a real NBA game
