2019 Draft Megathread

Ok, so I forgot that Langford tore a ligament in his thumb and played 26 of 32 games injured....,.... still, I don't necessarily buy he can shoot, and all the ball stopping and poor vision issues have nothing to do with his injury
I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
This guy isn't either a shooter or a defender, without size, and with an injury history. Really don't understand the pick.
Would have preferred Goga or Bol or Clarke
Just read a quick scouting report that said he has a personality like Kawhi and then watched that interview. I can see the comparison.
14 is a coin flip but his skill set doesn't really fit the modern NBA. Another player on the team who can't shoot.
Came across as arrogant and not a kid who's going to work. Not a good one sentence impression. I could be totally wrong.
The talent level here including Langford already seem like second rounders in a typical draft
72% from the line with an injured thumb. Perhaps the outside shooting woes are fixable.
Surprised it wasn’t the French guy.

Jeez, did his girlfriend break up with him 3 minutes before he was drafted? Is he a Lakers fan?
I like that his high fives with the kids during his walk up to get the hat seemed natural and at ease. I don’t know, that’s the extent of my analysis.
He tore a ligament in his thumb. He’s not harboring a bad back, an arthritic knee, or suffered a series of injuries or something
Naturally when you only have 2 good players left on the roster, you should draft someone who plays the same position as one of em.
O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Strengths: 2-guard with a big high school reputation and a lot of physical tools to work with ... He’s very aggressive going to the rim ... He has the quickness to blow by defenders and size to absorb contact in the paint ... He has a near seven-foot wingspan ... That allows him to get his shot off over taller forwards and centers ... Played some point in high school, and retains some ability as a facilitator ... He has great court awareness when he gets into the lane ... He makes quick decisions to attack once he sees centers are out of the lane ... He knows how to draw fouls at a high rate ... He averaged 6 free throws per game last season ... When he gets into the lane, he’s adept at finding the open man ... He’s great in transition ... When he has the ball, he pushes aggressively ... Without it he’s great at filling the lanes and finishing ... He is a good rebounder for a guard, particularly offesnively ... He grabbed over 5 rebounds per game last season ... Having grabbed 1.4 offensive rebounds per game last season ... He can create extra possessions for his teammates … In the NBA, guards who can generate extra possessions by rebounding are a bonus ... He’s able to take advantage of smaller matchups and post up smaller guards ... He’s a solid defender ... With his physical tools, his potential is excellent ... He’s great at attacking out of the pick roll to get into the lane ... He’s shown nice touch around the rim ... Has a solid ability to shoot off the dribble ...

the kid exudes warmth and a big personality
I understand what Juliet saw in the kid and why she killed herself

Wow, they really must not like the bigs available. Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Goga?
I was hoping for Goga at 14, Matisse at 20 and maybe Carsen Edwards at 22 (I think he could end up a Vinnie Johnson type of scorer off the bench.) I will not be getting what I hoped for, but Ainge has a much better track record than I do!

He gets to the line a lot. Shot 194 free throws (in 32 games) this season. Made 72 percent, as others have noted.
Langford was a 5 star recruit out of HS. #7 overall recruit. Scored 3000 points in HS. He knows how to score. If they are going younger, it gives him time to develop.
I mean, who needs 3 point shooting these days.
Such a classic Danny Ainge pick. I look forward to watching James Young's career again.
Drafting 18-19 year olds they are going to be "working hard" on some aspect of their game. They're one year removed from HS ball so not close to finished product.
But where do the minutes come from unless they are moving one of Brown/Smart
