Sounds like Grayson Allen had a top 5 all time lane agility time and upper echelon vertical leap at the combine. Starting to think he might have potential. 3 pt shooter, competitive/****, athletic, high BBIQ, versatile ... people are doubting him. Sounds like Danny's type of gamble.

his play style reminds me Danny Ainge as a player

Reunites Tatum with a former teammate too

Could you guys see Ainge letting Smart walk if he drafts Allen at 27? I could.

Yes. Danny always drafts these athletic combo guards to have major depth at the position. Ball handler, wing combo.

yeah i was thinking if either smart walks or rozier gets shipped we try to fill that slot with a guard like Allen or maybe duval if he slides

His efficiency was also pretty elite.

Granted, this information is coming via a relatively recent and quick google search, lol, but it sounds like his defense is quite poor, so that's not good.

If that is true, there is no room for him on this team. Our offense is basically set going forward, we just need role guys who can D up and hit 3s when open. Having a long term off the dribble bench guy would be nice, but not if he gives up as many as he helps get.

My sentiments exactly, and besides, if any of that is true, he's never even going to get on the court to begin with and would therefore be both a waste of a roster spot and money. We don't need another James Young #NeverAgain.

This is very surprising Grayson Allen does not look fast on offense or defense in the games I've watched.

I have a sneaking suspicion he’ll be taken before our pick. Has been killing it at the combine I think I read, and his NCAA tournament performance will have boosted his rankings
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

I think we will draft a guard with our pick, someone like this fellows:

Jalen Brunson
Donte DiVincenzo
Landry Shamet

Perhaps, because I think Terry will want to start from this point on and demand a trade.   I hope I am wrong though.

Anyone think we'll draft a euro, draft and stash? Someone like Isaac Bonga, who I've never seen play but read he's a book or bust prospect.

I think Okafor may be a target in FA to be a big off the bench to replace Monroe. Probably cheap contract on a prove it deal. That would mitigate the need to draft a big.

If we could draft and stash Bonga, that would be a great pick.  I don't see the Celtics wanting to pay a guaranteed salary this year.
