Celtics Beat

163: Scott Howard-Cooper + Ben Golliver | 2016 NBA Draft Review | Boston Celtics | Powered by CLNS Radio

Was it a clunker? There was a lot of hype and anticipation heading into the 2016 NBA Draft for the Boston Celtics, but universal sentiment has everyone from fans, media and possibly those within the organization far from enamored about the night the Celtics had back on Thursday evening.  Sure they didn’t make a big move, but what about the rest of the night? Did anything go right? Scott Howard-Cooper of NBA.com and NBAtv will check into Celtics Beat first to give a rundown on the six selections the Celts utilized.  Let’s cut right to the chase: What can Jaylen Brown do? Does he seriously have the highest bust potential of all the top players? How fearful should people be of his lack of production at Cal? Is he even better to last year’s top target, Justise Winslow? And what about the other players, including the three second round selections? What are their strengths and do any of them have futures in the NBA? That’s not all there.  There was plenty of fallout from the NBA Draft.  Where does Thursday leave the Celtics? Did it set back the team in any capacity? Why aren’t teams biting on Boston’s supposedly loaded warchest? Are teams completely afraid of trading with Danny Ainge? Ben Golliver of Sports Illustrated offers his views and more on what was a highly talked-about day in the national circles regarding what Boston did and did not do on Draft Night. It’s all on this week’s edition of Celtics Beat.
