They did Draft JaJuan Johnson and E'twuan Moore in 2011
Both the Celtics and the Rockets like our Boilermakers...Rockets had Landry and now Vince....
When watching pro's, they've been my team. But with the addition of Lazy Langford maybe not so much.
I, for one, am looking fwd to seeing Romeo and Carsen playing together.
I think it will be cool.
Go Celts!

The Rockets also traded for JaJuan Johnson back in 2012 from the Celtics.
For Carsen's sake, I just hope Stevens stays in Boston and doesn't go to IU, his dream job. Lots of my IU friends have pretty much told someday he will be in Bloomington.
Gross. At least coming in with RL will make Carsen look that much better.
Well JJ never got his career off the ground @ Boston.
E'twaun never got his going until he left Boston.
Hope its different for CE, just really hate the franchise/town

Totally opposite feeling here. Love the Celtics and Beantown is a great city. I’ll absolutely attend a few games next year.
Doc Rivers really liked E'Twaun Moore, IIRC.....I think it was just not the right opportunity at the time with that Celtics roster....JaJuan Johnson was just too inconsistent, and I think they also had Sullinger at the time.
E'Twaun Moore has made the most of his eventual opportunities (with Chicago and New Orleans, particularly).....here's hoping that Carsen Edwards and Caleb Swanigan, and the others to follow will do as well.
Boston sports fans make Ohio State fans look kind, reasonable, and sane. Their combination of provincial ignorance and newfound entitlement is absolutely insufferable.
just hoping they give carsen a real opportunity to play. swanigan is still not getting a chance and jj never did. will be interesting to see if romeo can make it , as i have my doubts he is nba material.
I still hate them (I actually liked them as a kid when they had Larry Bird). I hope Edwards finds success there, though.
Yeah I draw the line at Celtics/Bruins. I can’t fathom cheering for the Pats or Sox.
If Stevens really wanted to be in Bloomington, wouldn't he have been there already?
A couple surprises from last night:
Tyler Cook and Louis King not drafted. Risky decision but I guess they are going to try going the G League or overseas route. Tough for them to make the NBA now.
Bol Bol falls to second round. Injury really hurt him I guess. It didn’t hurt D Garland though.

Common sense like that kind of thinking doesn't go on in gloomington.
Dort not getting drafted was a huge surprise, although I don't know that much about his game. He was projected in the same area as Carsen. I was surprised Shamorie Ponds didn't get picked.
Little and especially Bol dropped a ton. Cam Johnson was picked way high, as was Poole.
With all the early entrants, we knew this was going to happen. There were just too many guys fighting for 60 spots, many to teams that didn't even want to make a pick considering how many trades there were. Why the Lakers didn't try to trade into the 2nd round multiple times just to fill their roster with small contracts confuses me.

Celtics are very much a team in transition.
Irving and Horford will be gone.
Tatum will most likely be the go to guy.
And their not a very patient team. If I were Romeo and Carson I'd rent..
Both will probably be traded within 4 year's or less

Duke with three top-10 picks
College teammates taken in the top 3 (that's only happened a few times '69, '02, 04, '12, and '14, IIRC)
ACC with 6 lottery picks
Little falling to Portland could be huge....if Nurkic comes back fully recovered, I could see Portland having a real shot at winning the Western Conference, especially with Golden State's injury situation.
That's the most I've watched of the NBA Draft in eons (and I still tuned out a lot and flipped channels), and I know I'm getting toward curmudeon status, but the suits just get worse each year from my view. Although, Ja Morant's father was stylin with the hat.....that was a good story.....looking for big things from him.
Amir Coffey not drafted? Isaiah Robbie 45, Bruno Fernando 34, Brazdeikis 47, Charles Mathews no go and Nick Ward gets to be on a summer league. Yet people re complaining Edwards was 33. I am proud of the kid
Sorry if I mislead anyone with this post, it was pure sarcasm.
Don't be surprised to see Romeo out of Boston. That pick most likely was trade bait for another deal down the road.
You clear were not watching or have forgotten the mid to late 90's. Those ridiculous baggy suits were an abomination. At least most of them are tailored these days (maybe too much)
Yes, I didn't watch much for many years, DG.....and my memory is also not what it used to be - some of that is due to Boilernesia.
I don't know that complaining is the right word. Signs were starting to point to the idea that he might go in the 20s, but it didn't happen because of some reaches and certain teams not having certain needs.
Matthews tore his ACL in workouts. Not a surprise he didn't go. Tough break for a good kid.
Is it up to the individual teams to decide if a 2nd round pick gets a guaranteed contact?
If Carsen can just get over that initial rookie year "hump" I could see him having a nice, serviceable journey-man career.

I believe so. But top of the 2nd round typically do get them.
Yes.....IIRC, AJ Hammons had guaranteed money in his rookie deal with the Mavericks.
I like C-Boogie's chances......he's a fighter and doesn't back down - he'll get his shot to find a role.
