 Verdict is in. One of the stupidest choices Ainge has made in the draft.
 A pick that nearly everyone was furious over for good reason.

 We may lose this series because of it. Horford, Portis, Amir, Kelly, would be a nice Frontcourt.

 Rozier gets no minutes, he's the Last thing we needed, but Ainge had to have his Binky.
 Portis was easily the best player on the board.

 Terrible.
It's not as bad as Giannis over KO, but I think we can all agree on this.

Smart over J Randle still seems to be a mistake as well.

I will assume this is a joke.

Silly assumption. One is a starter in this league and the other is the single worst shooter in it

Drafting is a crap shoot.  Arguing about picks in the second half of the draft two years ago is silly.  Even more silly is claiming you knew this player or that player was way better than some other player.  Isn't the fact that our best player was taken #60 all the evidence you need of that?  Oh, and the best player on the team we are playing was taken #30.

Rozier has exceeded my expectations.  He has turned out to be a nice pick for #16.  Isn't that all you can expect from a GM's drafting?

Go Celtics.  Keep it rolling and win this series!!

The fact that Julius Randle starts for the 3rd worst team in the league while Smart is the 6th man for the 4th best, does not help your argument.

Define 'league'? If you define it as a 'class or category of quality or excellence', the 2016-2017 Lakers are not in the league of the Celtics. One team is a #1 seed in the playoffs, while the other team was dead last in their division.

Hope you are not confused by the accident that both teams are competing in the lottery, Celtic's lottery pick is actually through another team. lol.

I'd say you're setting your expectations for a mid first round pick very low if you think a guy who is in and out of the rotation as a 23 year old second year player is exceeding expectations.

That's not to say Portis was a great pick either. He's been up and down. But I think some of that is mismanagement of his development by Chicago.

My main issue with Rozier was taking him at that spot when there were players of seemingly similar quality as prospects who could potentially fill a need for the team, whereas Rozier is fairly duplicative with smart and Bradley.

Randle has put up thoroughly pedestrian numbers on a horrible team.

Smart's numbers are that good? His efficiency makes Toine look like a hall of famer

Randle probably starts for us, I think Marcus probably starts in LA. Either way its a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ty point.

Except Amir Johnson is better than Randle and would probably start.  And there is a good chance Smart would start next to Russell in the backcourt.  So it's definitely not a fact.

I suppose it's within the realm of possibility he'd start at small forward to give Ingram time to grow or maybe Ingram moves over to pf with his height and length. LA is still tanking and not taking steps forward in this scenario.

Amir Johnson is on his last legs. He can hardly keep KO off the court.

Smart would start over Nick Young, because he is better than Nick Young.
