Danny Ainge's 1st round picks in the previous 5 drafts heading into this one:
JaJuan Johnson
Jared Sullinger
Fab Melo
Kelly Olynyk
Marcus Smart
James Young
Terry Rozier
RJ Hunter
But y'all homers can continue to cape for this man
JaJuan Johnson did go 3 picks before Jimmy Butler....Jimmy also thought the Celtics were gonna draft him as well.
Cape away though.
Bobby Portis and Larry Nance Jr went shortly after Rozier; Josh Richardson went after Hunter.
Gary Harris and Rodney Hood went after James Young.
Draymond Green and Khris Middleton went after Melo and Sully.
Jimmy Butler and Chandler Parsons went after Marshon Brooks.
You can say other teams passed on these guys too, but good GMs hit a couple of these mid-late first round picks. Danny hasn't hit shyt in the draft. He's a fraud but if you Boston fans want to continue placing your faith in him, I'm all for it.![]()
JaJuan & Melo scrubbed out of the league after one year
Sullinger & Olynyk are mediocre players at best
James Young has a legitimate argument as the worst player in the NBA
Marcus Smart is historically one of the worst shooters in NBA history
My point? Ainge has perennially botched the draft and his incompetence is a large reason for why this team is on this treadmill path that they're destined for. I'm tired of him getting passes for his bullshyt
No Mercy on these Celtic apologists
