 not many quick twitch 240 lb guys with 40 inch vertical off 2 feet, add his shooting touch and ability to finish-then you look at work ethic and free throw %
-steal of the draft and i find that exciting
Danny dratfs the best perimeter defensive guard is this danny playing chess and put him with zizic,simme,tatum and nader -
-maybe fultz will pull out like simmons

To get his mass up that fast and 40 inches off two feet

He lasted because he's old, and that's basically it. Most mock drafts had him being taken in the early to mid 20's. I heard somewhere that this draft had the least seniors (2) taken in the first round. Really shows how much GM's like youth.

However, he definitely has game, and I love that we got him.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

 Also he's basically a straight line driver, he doesn't have a whole lot of agility going sideways or Euro steps, wiggle, or any of that craftiness, but when it comes to going downhill and jumping over somebody's head he's certainly got that.

Crowder plus explosiveness... I dont think there is any other way to describe it

Also a better shot creator, shooter at the same age.

But just like crowder not much of a rim protector , not a great defensive rebounder

 Rollie this video definitely gives you an idea at what he's not good at. Still really like him as a player but he certainly has his weaknesses.

Looks a lot like so-so older talent just taking advantage of younger competition. 22.5 years old playing against a lot of underclassmen. Meh. Not excited about him until I see him perform against guys his own age & physical development.

Just like crowder he cant get great separation on the offensive end.... Doesnt have a great 1st step

Also 8'6 reach is not good for a pf or pf/sf

It is acceptable for Jimmy Butler or Klay Thompson who are sg/sfs

So Semi might be at a disadvange in this regard

I disagree

Nigel Hayes is so so meh

Semi advance stats are rock solid.  But we will see...

Some ppl were happy bentil was drafted last year...a nice shooter also. Decent at the pnr. Chieseled. But undersized pf

Well that experiment was short lived.

Then again bentil is not explosive like Semi.

There's a reason [several actually] Semi didn't see much court time at Duke.

I like the pick, BUT we're REALLY comparing him somewhat to Charles Barkley now... ?

You love every d leaguer or end of the bench player the Celtics sign.  I assume this guy will end up like all of the others on the rollie all star team.  Not in the NBA.

Like others, I like the pick, but he is no Barkley. Semi definitely has an NBA ready body, but its his skills that are missing or not developed enough. He should be a great tweener forward but has to get better and put more effort on defense.

for crying out loud was not barkley built like this was he not an explosive player-i was unaware that barkley has such a wingspan- i never meant he would have a career like his
 semi lane agility number 3
vertical 5th and sprint 6th at combine
the kid can shoot-this guy gets up quick
sorry about comp
