With The Third Pick In The 2016 NBA Draft...The Boston Celtics Select Jaylen Brown
We finally have an answer. Jaylen Brown it is. I wrote the other day there really is no way to know which one of these 3-6 guys is going to pan out, and Brown very well could. On the surface his lack of shooting scares me, but it’s too early to tell in the process if he even stays with the team. The hope is that Jimmy Butler wasn’t lying, and he eventually turns into that type of player. Physically he’s what you want, and at least we don’t have to worry about a logjam at guard. I know, I know, he can’t shoot, and that’s what the Celtics need. It’s confusing, but sometimes you take the risk and hope it develops.
Yeah, I was hoping for a trade, and while it can still happen, this pick tells me maybe shooting is coming by way of established NBA talent.
Oh… and I totally scooped Woj on this #sources
