I still have no idea why the Celtics like Josh Jackson so much. JJ is a 3. So are Hayward and PG.

Hayward plays a ton of shooting guard and so does George, the wing positions are pretty interchangeable. Jackson also might be best long term playing a lot of small ball 4 because he isn't a very good shooter

he's very bad a shooting is probably what happened


e: on a different note, I'm not understanding why TJ Leaf is projected higher than DJ Wilson. Maybe I'm seeing things wrong but Wilson just seems better to me

Wilson is less polished, a bad rebounder, doesn't play defense, and is older. He was playing like 6 minutes a game when he was Leaf's age and it wasn't because Michigan was loaded

Wilson plays better defense than TJ Leaf come on

His ceiling is higher on that end but it's not a huge advantage right now. He's pretty bad on that end. He gets bullied by bigger players, doesn't really know where he's supposed to be, and is a decent but not great rim protector. Also, like I said, he doesn't rebound well at all for his size

If they actually take Tatum that trade is going to be even funnier

I get why they'd compare him to Pierce because he is skilled for his age and has some of that old man game, but playing like Pierce and being an efficient scorer is really hard to do. He's not a great athlete and a good but not great shooter so he's going to have to covert tough shots at a really high rate.

the Sixers sent their own 2017 first-round pick, No. 3, to Boston, as well as the 2018 first-round selection they received from the Los Angeles Lakers as part of a separate deal made at the 2015 NBA trade deadline.

edit: also this thread is moving too slow, I have questions.

Can someone who understands the NBA better than me (admittedly very easy to do) explain why Boston isn't going to use all these assets to make a major go at Anthony Davis? That seems logical to me.

Trading for one of the most valuable young assets in the league is hard, as it turns out. Everyone in the league would love to trade for Davis, if he were easy to get he would already have been traded.

I wonder who takes fox in this scenario

Either the Suns or Kings, probably. Seems pretty likely now that it'll go Fultz, Ball, Tatum, and then Jackson and Fox in some order

Could someone describe what Provel cheese tastes like? The wiki entry just says "is a combination of cheddar, Swiss, and provolone cheeses, and tastes nothing like any of them."

I don't think it has an especially distinctive taste but the texture of it is super gross to me. If they didn't insist on using that St.Louis pizza would be fine, I don't mind super thin crust

But Phoenix is going to pick whatever SF Boston doesn't and Fox would be there anyway at 5

This is probably true but they're shopping Knight and as a franchise have never really seemed to worry much about having too many point guards so I could see Fox being in play if they really like him. I agree Sac shouldn't make that trade though, they're in arguably the best spot in the draft. Worst case there's a decent chance you can get Smith at 10. I think everything in the Top 10 after Fultz is kind of a jumbled mess so getting two shots at it is a great place to be
