Welcome To Boston -Jayson Tatum

[Celtics4ever]

Welcome to the C's!

[A Future of Stevens]

Future looks so freaking bright in bean town!

[mr. dee]

He's the latest chapter of the Celtic's long running history of smooth scoring wings. From Sam Jones to Hondo to Bird to Pierce and now Tatum.

Wishing the young gun the best. Must be nice to come into a winning team that was just in the ECF. Gets to learn what hard work and winning culture is all about. This guy seems to have a great head on his shoulders so hard not to root for someone like that. Also sounds very eloquent/articulate (a lot like Jaylen).

CBS

got his man ...

CBS ...loves the young guys and teaching .

[hpantazo]

We finally drafted a guy that can shoot!!

[dreamgreen]

I'm pumped. The more I hear and read about this kid I like him. Sounds like he would have had a more dominant year if he was healthy. Can't wait to see him and Brown on the floor together. Looking forward to summer league!!

I have a feeling that when Ainge traded Fultz, Jackson was the player he would have taken at #1.  I really don't believe that he would have taken Tatum at #1.

Stop trying to force a conspiracy theory.

cant help but like the kid after watching all the interviews.

Too nice! Where is the " Lebron im going to rip your headoff"

I think he'll have to play good cop/bad cop with Jaylen.

This is why we have veterans to show young guys what it takes to win. Tatum is a competitor, other guys didn't even want to try out for the Celtics cause the roster is so deep. Tatum cried Kelly green tears.

I know you guys already have prewritten your opening and closing statements should this decision to draft Jayson Tatum is ever challenged... so I won't, instead I'll say this: he, Jayson Tatum, better be pretty darn good and what I mean by that is Ainge cannot afford Markelle Fultz to be anything more than a starter(Fultz wins an MVP, Tatum better [dang] have one under his belt ALREADY) and IN ADDITION Isaiah Thomas cannot fall off or decline in performance for the next 5 years . I don't even have to explain why this can't happen, hopefully you guys feel the same and care more about the team than the individuals involved with it. Always seems like we get too attached.

What if the LAL pick gets us #2 next year, and we get #1 with the BKN pick? (However unlikely that may be). Would that make it acceptable? Draft two out of Ayton/Porter/Bamba/Doncic, assuming those guys remain the consensus top guys.

Really like everything about the kid..family attitude skills.  Please keep and build for future
