985, the sports up. We're touching Rich. Full phone lines, baby.

Excellent.

Full phone lines. We're going to have Danny Aange on at 935 to recap.

Tatum, as the number three pick in the draft, I did not like that pick.

I don't think he's going to be a bad player. I just don't think he's going to be a very good player.

Keep in mind, the draft was not, a lot of people thought there wasn't really a

transcended player. Okay. Fair enough. Fair enough. Okay. But here's the deal is that you've

you've had these three high draft picks in the last three drafts. And I don't think you've ended up with a star. Jalen Brown, some people think so we'll see. I certainly think he's a nice piece, and Tatum could be very well a nice piece. But he's not going to be a star. That's three drafts where you've had relatively high picks where you haven't landed a star. I think he's a little redundant, especially if you get Hayward, and now there's rumors that they could get George, and I think that he's very redundant. What I think they could have done with that pick is taking a chance with a guy with a huge upside. And that guy for me was Isaac. And that's who I would, I would have been like, okay, they got Isaac.

You know, it could be, it's boom or bust, but they have all these picks.

They have all this collateral.

Let's, let's take a chance.

Who would you have taken instead of Jalen Brown at number three?

I don't know.

I mean, look at the picks behind them.

Dragon Bender, Chris Dunn, Buddy Hill, Jamal, Murray, Marquise, Chris, Jakob Pertl. No, I'm just, it's not, I didn't say it was a bad pick. Well, I mean, you were saying you haven't come away. You have had these high picks and you haven't come away with any transcendent talent. And not transcendent, but you haven't come. Not a transcendent talent because they weren't available, but you just haven't come away with the star.

And I don't... And not transcendent, but you haven't come, not a transcendent talent because they weren't available, but you just haven't come away with a star.

And I don't, I'm not saying that the Celtics are necessarily to blame for that.

But I'm saying that you have an opportunity, you had an opportunity to take a chance.

And instead you took a guy that, for most of what I read, has a very high floor and perhaps has a low ceiling. And, you know, we talked to Brian Robb and, you know, he's going to be like the eighth guy off the bench. That's all. I think that you, I think in this deep draft, and this was considered, there wasn't a transcendent talent, but it was a deep draft that you could have taken more of a chance at three. That's all. I mean, you took a guy that's a nice player and maybe fits into what you need. Probably the most polished. Probably the most NBA ready out of anyone. Again, high floor, low ceiling. Yeah, he's polished. And he's so polished that he's going to be the eighth guy off the bench. For this season. I mean, just to start, too, friend. I mean, Jalen Brown advanced as they went along and, you know, became a better, bigger contributor in the playoffs. Yeah, but they didn't trust them throughout the season. I mean, they didn't want to give him a lot of minutes. I mean, Jalen Brown could be a very nice player. He's certainly very athletic. contributed contributed in the playoffs a little bit. Sure, he did. There was games where he contributed, yeah. But we'll see. You know, I thought they could have taken it. I thought they could have taken a chance with this pick, and they didn't do it. And by the way, they got two guys that are coming to this team that they've stashed away, who I've forgotten all about.

Zizich, who...

Youvicelli?

According to a lot of people, was the number one player that a lot of teams asked for at the trade deadline this past year.
