If they decide to draft a player, I hope it is Hield. Supposedly he just hit 85 out of 100 threes today at the Boston workout.

With odds like that I think he could hit 12 out of 100 sevens or something.

There's enough players there that can mask his deficiencies


Yeah...but no. The Cavs can't mask his deficiencies. Boston needs a post big that can defend other bigs too. They got ate up in the paint by Horford and Millsap. Could Love be a difference maker? Yes. But at what cost? At #3, you're turning away guys who can be stars for years to come, especially in this draft where there's a lot of quality talent. I'd rather draft Bender and stash him away and play the FA market if Im Boston.

that's a wonderful thing. #3 in the draft makes some real money compared to say, #7 or 8.

he just made several million dollars because he practiced.
God bless him.
"That's what I am taking about".
Reminds me of Jack Givens. Dude had a great SEC run and NCAA tournament run, including UK winning natty over Duke, I think 98-94.
Givens made serious first round money and was out of the league pretty quick. No position. no defense.
bookend center/power forwards for UK also made the big time and didn't do squat either.
solid lads, about 6 10 each. Good enough to win one UK natty.


You go Buddy.

Buddy Hield is going to be an absolute stud. If the Celts would give me 3 for Love gimme Hield on that team. Although I would take Hield myself if i'm the Celts.

Do you think Kevin love is worth the third pick anymore?

Jahlil Okafor
Joel Embiid
Otto Porter
Bradley Beal
Enes Kanter
Derrick Favors

Those are you last 6 3rd overall picks. 27 year old Love is worth a 3rd pick.

Okafor could be really good if he gets out of Philly
Eembiid health issues
Portor role player at best
Beal is an enigma he has had good stretches largely inconsistent and health issues
Kanter looks really good
Favors is good

So, yea basically I agree with you. But I think the 3rd pick will be Hield who will be an absolute stud in todays NBA.
