It's not the agents of the top 5 guys who are worried, it's the late first and second round guys.

AKA the guys that need to take what they can get? :usure: If that's true, that's even sillier than top picks taking such a stance.

The draft this year has lottery talents at the end of the first and even into the second round, they don't need to "take what they can get".

Unless you're Fultz, if you get drafted to Boston you will be lucky to get G-League minutes, even if you jump one or two people on the depth chart.

If you aren't guaranteed a guaranteed contract you need to take what you can get, period. If you are supposed to be a game changer you shouldn't be shook by Marcus Smart, period. There is no way around this.

Even top draft picks need to develop to completely be ready for the NBA game, let alone late first round and second round guys.

In order to develop you need playing time. If you land in Boston you are not going to get the playing time to develop that you would in essentially every other situation.

That's not true, and never has been. There are plenty of players outside of the top 5 who can contribute to an NBA team, especially this year.

There are NBA level defenders like Kadeem Allen that will likely be around in the second.

nikkas who don't matter. role players that are going that way don't have leeway to try to make moves like that

I don't care if they "don't have the leeway", it's not good for the player or the team to hoard draft picks and waste them by drafting too many young players, effectively stunting the development of the majority of said picks.
