What's the old cliche all what a difference a year makes all the difference a year makes why are we sitting. Waiting I think our fingernails when will the Celtics get this pick wearable day. Land where only Jeff Green will fall to them yeah and Roy Hibbert was in the discussion and he happens to be in this discussion again couch is probably not a good Simon be great if he felt the thirty as Ian Thompson predicts. But there's going to be some very very wrong when -- seven footer who was lottery pick last year I think Charlotte does -- last -- it all began in one. Which examining them fortunately I think it's more likely that one of these other students who hit it in place love from Turkey. The the kid -- your -- your parents Euro. -- the yeah untested Euro and we means more likely be one of them Mark Murphy writes in his piece previewed in the draft then what the Celtics might do at thirty and sixty by the way. And the list to people who frankly I didn't hurdle referred you know other names like -- and sort of -- on paper. Surgery he Barca from the Congo. Now they play top basketball McConnell -- the leg. The Europeans don't touch me don't touch me good question -- noise in six foot ten power report from the Congo. But here's the here's the intriguing one it to to the first -- mark of meatless in his eighties. Ainge who has never drafted an international player for the Celtics may break at five your -- this year Nicholas based them BA TUN meter. France had you -- it just Rams. -- thank you for not line as the red flag -- what was a couple of red flags -- bait them a six foot eight French swing man. Who recently had some heart issues resolved one from swing man sounds like he's taken. In a couple of -- number it is. And none of them now not necessarily good the Boston Celtics basketball fortunes -- easily -- some heart issues -- had enough of that in this organization. It's -- the Lakers problem European yet with the hardest conditions so so we on the NBA draft dot net. And aunt -- it is a big fan of the show and he's probably list and well definitely any gimme -- 60 seconds am I'm sure you know this. Don't draft Nicholas bade them. Here's -- the NBA draft dot net assess. First -- 68 to ten. So meter is is is more stout and that he couldn't hit the wall even if it if I mean there is more stout the Nicklaus -- at 68 200 and found his range is for -- He needs to put on weight and at a lot of muscle. He has easily thrown off balance by the slightest contact making his finishes difficult as a result he Charest is away from contact. And settles for jump shots always gets better. Lacks confidence handling the ball with his left hand. Also struggles finishing from that side dribbles the ball right he dribbles the ball to hide and becomes an easy strip victim in traffic. Does not have rebounding numbers. His length and athleticism our negate it on the boards because he gets pushed out of position too easily what does he like a good clubhouse guy what's he got going for his game goes downhill fast gets overly passive and defers to his teammates too often. At times seems to be hosting and gets lost in the action. -- the strength of on nick NBA comparison Rudy Gay movie today is immune after the bodies. Oh it was via the 2006 Albert Schweitzer turn -- oh wise yeah it would -- applied and Francis for a place -- that -- on the games now because they don't politically cities they Adam yeah. Aren't about all mark -- well this is the the choice and -- that nets mock drafts. Yeah former homer to him unions object as if it if -- beta ms. Lee at 68. 210 -- basic is seven feet tall. 220 Scott looks like that the British golfer Justin rose doesn't always but -- Metallica a mile Russell's brother. It was a better team. Much better through. Weaknesses has to work it was body does not possess the skill set to make up for his good but not excellent size. Probably a little un athletic and always -- lacks a great shot from beyond the paint. -- right hand dependent wells or you meter you couldn't look to improve to use his left a -- free throw shooter below 50%. And but he smokes in. What -- that well they got a great season for the Turkish club there you go that -- water pipe. I -- problems like knowing about hey he's Arctic attribute next year that -- Celtics fans are much more concerned about the James Posey contrarian and -- has not that out he's created do you. Campaign more than about five point eight midlevel team to someone else pay more than that that's the question probably. And then he's gone yeah he's gone it's not only will some immortal play a more I consider the that the value the braces is he some sort of sexy scored unnecessarily. But the championship rings from two different clubs he knows how to win championships a defensive toughness that's kind of stuff that what absolutely it was -- an article goes to --
Chris could use some help most Western Conference team could use a guy like this and you just saw how he thrived under pressure in the big games in the playoffs. Coaches around the MBA a decent teams. Contending teams have to be salad bowl over the idea of bringing him Bosnia Serbia and get victories he can play do you fancy. What you get past those ridiculous hugs -- contributes nothing but good things to for a team that's right. -- maybe they'll drop the -- the action news just the Celtic thing but. I hope they can keep him I'm afraid though that. He's going to make more money someone else somewhere else and play more -- Morales ran. He's won his ring here he won his ring here one's wearing a -- get two rings he doesn't have that kind of carrot dangling in front of them here anymore. I don't see why he would stay and just know he's happy he likes the guys here is just morbid challenge.
And more -- pay -- in order to go somewhere to wind is and has great disguise that he's done it twice while not -- great here I mean you could probably -- about the Lakers you go to LA and you win with the Lakers in -- the key and and you play and you start -- I mean would you start Posey or I'm glad Brett -- grabbed hard if you're you're. The object -- and by the way you view your points a good one when you look at all the Celtic free agents there there has been downsides and negative performance by virtually all of them mean. Whatever little good results and it's always awesome really bad moments and for whatever good receiver Antonio received some bad moments there you were called James Posey going in the screw up again.
Now notes good point yeah he's missing shots yeah but it is showing five footer it's not like he's -- and bunnies. And and I think. The key for him I mean the good the great contribution made was on the defensive and just coming in bringing energy and given a break that the two guys who need a break most Ray Allen and Paul -- if you want to get the most out of them on the offensive and I think Sampras sell menu you you hate him but I don't pay in my last thing you know exactly lasting image of of course not but I mean my lasting image will be. Rivers offering him a chance to play in the team to game the final game and he says no let those guys play let them play and that's a prediction. Right -- I don't think on the court than the right thing on the side and say I'm one of the other understand that's you know and I think he turned out to be approach was good clubs the only only guy who position than anything else and it's thicker every NBA guys in it for himself in that they all want to do. If if the Toronto. If Toronto could get Jermaine O'Neal from back a point convenience of sculptured sell it equipment is already out of sort.
By the way and I'm sure this will play into Danny's mindset at thirty and perhaps sixty although sixties please don't drafted Duke please -- I don't know -- affect just the opposite. We read the PGA brown. Probably isn't coming back -- probably close the door Danny Ainge said PJ is of the mindset that his career is now all. If you didn't play last fall in the beginning of last winter right I would play next fall and be in next winter well -- you. Few million reasons but beyond that anyone was offered him a contract last year now. Now now I think that there must have had to be some you Susan stiffs it around it has truly come of the big part of it. Yeah in in the smart guy and a good team guy I what does it BJP Jays mindset is that he's all done that Danny is a look at that say who's going to back up. Kendrick to adjust accountable Bagger to win there and and an -- general Powell stopped all respect Paul and and big baby to get better -- progress and they're about to about -- long enough to do that -- in Rhode Island gym minutes with the NC.
I always got -- have the -- into the draft -- media I think now I think your program the left obviously the draft of other pretty much spots. The goals they took you got mark old bell we know it was post you'll believable yeah average to point so. I -- the pebble what I got I got a couple guys that they fit perfectly. -- go about it taxes or in.
Jordan he's going to -- the thirty.
You know maybe have it you know what do what effect W the prototypical. Perfect back of the -- though.
Shalala -- zero zero -- a lottery everybody's is going number twelve according to NBA drafts whatever it's called dot net Indiana I'd take -- mean he's he's going higher than that we as a mark -- is in the globe doesn't go and he doesn't happen in the eleven to in the live in DJ Augustin. And I changed now with the -- TJ Ford.
Well I grab hopefully you don't you don't know what got -- not. Wrote under the radar dominated the eight well Daniel WOO and 68230 if you -- NBA dot net. Two ranked in the top eight this scene is coming out in the top fifty plays on the entire -- 68 NBA ready protruding you know playing very possibly before for the city's.
