A certain ranking system projects him as a potential superstar.

I dont want to hear any other name.

I'd add Dennis Smith to that list.

Dude is just so freakishly athletic and he's got good enough feel for the game that it's going to be a crazy steal for whoever gets him.

just played lotto again

Celtics picked #1 3 out of 4. Only upset was Denver and they picked Ball.

Saw something on FB where Scal said his top 4 were:

1) Fultz
2) Tatum
4) Ball

He didn't say who 3 was but obviously assume it's Jackson.

I remember in the past Scal worked with Steven Adams and Kelly Olynyk before the draft and recommended Danny select Adams, and then if he was already chosen consider Olynyk.

Because Scal is now so intertwined in the C's and has had history with Ainge choosing Olynyk, not to mention earlier in the season he let it drop how much Ainge likes Fultz, I gotta think Scal is just repeating what he knows to be Danny's top 4, but this time not using Danny's name so he doesn't get in trouble again and there's no controversy.

I've got concerns about Monk. He didn't pass or rebound much this season, he's undersized for a SG, and he's got a negative wingspan according to Draft Express.

I don't understand the logic behind Monk over Tatum.

I would actually replace Ball's name with Monk's. I have real doubts that Ball will perform in a similar way to what he did in college.

We have plenty of players that are too short for their position. Thomas, Bradley (Smart, if he's a shooting guard, or maybe he's a small forward). He's a good shooter, which helps - but I'd prefer to have Jackson.

 I think the wingspan is BS, it looks long, and I believe his vertical is not 40" either. We will see the truth soon enough.


 I said a while back he's Avery Bradley on steroids.

Lol, I tried 4 times and the Celtics got the #4 pick everytime. (Monk).

I'm cursed!

TP. Dennis Smith Jr is going to be a great steal for whoever gets him.
