We're getting Tony Mitchell with a late first rounder? He's the only one I can see us getting. Undersized? Check. Motor questions? Check. Athletic/wingspan to compensate supposedly? Check. He has Moreyball written all over him.

http://www.celticsblog.com/2013/6/2...rwards-plumlee-bennett-mitchell-livio-jerrett Top 10 PF's in the draft. Not sure if any will be left in the 2nd rd though
That's a good one but I think actually that highlights a possible strategy of Morey's. Given his M.O., the stats probably suggest that undersized 4s/big 3s of specific skill sets have good value relative to how much they cost. It can't possibly be a coincidence that we seem to targeting and acquiring this same type of player year after year.
Yeah, this is really wishful thinking on my part. But I think if he were to drop to us we'd take him.
We better not draft another freaking SF/PF, unless it's Aptekunbo for a few years down the line. It's time to go for a SG / C.
Sampson is 100% right but he forgot to mention how many are so undersized!! I mean come on Morey, Jeremy Lamb would have been crushed down in the paint!! Thank God OKC was dumb enough to take that midget off our hands!!
Yeah, but in that draft Morey got two more PFs in the first round and made deals to grab one in the second that I think is playing overseas. So it balances out.
