6 for 5

Green and Thorton are prospects he’s working out incase they trade down with a team like SAC.

are they really not even gonna take a peak at noah?

There will be more top players in for workouts than the 6 listed. Let’s put it this way: after tomorrow, Cs will have worked out Yi, Brewer and Thornton. Does anyone really think the Cs will only work out three more top players (Green, Horford, B. Wright) in the 20 days between June 8th and June 28th?

surprised to see Noah’s name omitted from that list.

Not even Danny would pick Noah without working him out so I guess that’s that. Shows what I know. Danny, you better not miss on this one.

If we draft Noah, fans will have to file into games two-at-a-time, boy/girl.

Im not sure I get your comment, Real Large James. Please elaborate.

Knowing Ainge (or not, rather) I’m sure he will pick Noah. No need to workout Noah. The Brain Doctor has already given him his blessing.

Hey Brick, you will love this.

The following is a quote from Ainge, right off the Celtics website:

“Our staff has seen Yi numerous times over the last three years. [Probably] a dozen times, on the National Team, on the Tigers,” said Ainge, who didn’t want to compare Yi to any current players, but did allow that he reminded him somewhat of last year’s first pick, Andrea Bargnani. “He’s on the of the six guys we’re considering with the sixth pick.”

Yes, Ainge is sure to screw this up. He doesnt even know at which position he is picking.

NEST just talked about the Brewer/thornton work out from today. Dickerson said they both looked good. Said one of the people in Waltham said that Thornton is the second best offensive player in this draft. He said that Ainge said Thornton could be a dominate offensive player and Brewer could be a complimantory offensive player but said this team needs defense. He then said he thinks Brewer is the guy they will pick. He said Thornton didn’t fit in with the team (as a player).

They just said on NEST that Noah (and someone else)will be in for a workout on Monday.

furball said:

“He said Thornton didn’t fit in with the team (as a player).”

Well, Thornton played 36 games last year and had a grand total of 24 assists. Guys like that tend not to fit in anywhere.

That list makes sense. Interesting to see Thorton in the mix. It looks like Danny is really considering a wing for the 5fth pick and if one of the wings blows him away, he’ll go with it regardless of what fans might think(I am thinking Thorton) here).

Sports Tonight said that Noah and B Wright are coming in for a workout on Monday. That makes 7 who are on the list and the target of workouts. So does that mean that one of the guys working out for a later pick in case of a trade? They also said that Thornton doesn’t fit with the team and they don’t see Danny taking him. They said that Thornton may be the second best offensive player and that Brewer could come in and help right away defensively.

I think it means as of now, they like 6 guys. Workouts might change this in the case of Conley or Noah…

furball — I hope you’re right. Brewer is the guy I have been hoping for. The guy can play D, he is ok being the third option on a team (after pierce and Jefferson), seems like a good kid that can do it all on the court. Plus it makes green expendable. I just don’t think green will ever get. I think he is destined to be a guy coming off the bench to shoot the three but his value is currently as high as it will ever be. Green, Theo, Gomes and a future pick should be able to get us a quality vet to add to the mix.

Notably absent from the work-out list was Hawes. Should Ainge trade down as part of a draft day move, he should cover all his bases.

I still don’t know how Brewer excells at defense with a relatively short reach.

Jurassic earl – stop being a hater. Like you have never made a typo or mis-spoke or anything. You just sit and look for reasons to complain. Life must be really enjoyable for you. I hope your name isn’t really Earl. You are giving us a bad name!

I’m hoping for Noah. He fits our current frontcourt and I don’t want to trade Perk or Al. So Noah would be the best pick for us.
