A 2/3 version of him on offense makes some sense. All depends on if he is what he is or if he can grow. But defensively not close.

I'm sorry, but Valentine being compared to Green is atrocious. Just rancid. Seems like Green is becoming the easy guy to compare prospects to

I would say that from the perspective that he can be an off guard/ undersized 3 version on Offense alone. Has some merit.
Able to shoot the 3. Was an excellent rebounder and distributor. There's SOME of the versatility on offense for a slight comparison.
Where the problem is and it breaks down is he'll be a liability on defense. Also who knows if it translates.
But if he translates to NBA. He can give you some of that versatility. On offense alone. But because Dray means so much on both sides, DV will never be THAT guy

I mean, aren't there other players we can compare him to that make more sense? Just because he's a versatile guy who can rebound, pass and shoot, it doesn't automatically make Green a comp. IDK

Absolutely. It's just easier to compare him to the guy who is playing now or most recently.
Can't compare a late 2nd rounder to Speedy Claxton.

Boston's assets aren't all that valuable?

Ainge is an f'n genius/master thief when it comes to racking up draft picks... but his draft pick history is weird
I don't criticize his ability to gain assets at all though

Boston just picked the wrong draft to have this pick.

These quotes are bonkers.
It wouldn't scare me if he knew how to play basketball.
Alas he doesn't.

Antonio McDyess with a 3-pt. shot.

I don't see anything too wrong with these comps for Chriss. Do I think he pans out to these ceilings? I have a feeling, no. It was encouraging however to see him shoot. Not bad at all
I feel like his athleticism is getting him overhyped

Yeah, that type of athletic beast was just a different level than what Chriss shows in game at least. To be fair, I never saw Dice at the same age as ChrissYoung McDyess was a monster
And yup, Chriss and Bender both struggle rebounding

So you're spending a top 5 pick on a kid who was ranked outside the top 50 in his high school class, fouls at an extremely high rate, doesn't know how to play defense, doesn't care to rebound or get a body on his man, has an ok shot that you hope will translate?
You're waiting 4 years atleast before you get any production out of the kid. I understand the athleticism and hoping it all comes together but it's a huge risk this high.
His best chance to be successful could be at SF as wild as it may sound

Amare Stoudemire would be the absolute pie in the sky best case scenario for Chriss.

Draft.net has Philly taking Simmons, Bembry and Jackson. Draftexpress has something similar...
I wouldn't be mad at that at all if I was a Philly fan

Want nothing to do with this #3 pick. Make the Okafor trade and call it a day.
