I'm still surprised he is still hasn't withdrawn his name. I wish the guy the best but I just don't see anyway he sticks with an NBA team.Worth noting that the Celtics have a bunch of picks in this years draft. Could see them taking a second round flyer on a guy like Amida and putting him in the D league for a year or two.
If he's getting workouts with teams, why would he take his name out? At the very least he's getting valuable feedback and developmental points hat he can take back with him.I'm still surprised he is still hasn't withdrawn his name.

Yep, it's a no lose situation for him so I'm not sure why it's surprising.If he's getting workouts with teams, why would he take his name out? At the very least he's getting valuable feedback and developmental points hat he can take back with him.
Amida's problem now is more lack of core strength than lack of game understanding. Even when he gets position he can be effortlessly moved. Don't get me wrong both are problems but this is the biggest one.
I had the same thought. As much as I'm a C's fan, I don't think this would be a good situation for him. If he returns to UConn, he has a chance to develop into a first round pick. At worse, he'll end up a second round selection or no worse than his current situation, unless he gets hurt. IMO it's worth the risk.Worth noting that the Celtics have a bunch of picks in this years draft.

You've got to stop with this Bunkey story you've created. It's straddling the line between sad and creepy.Results speak for themselves -Is he a lot stronger? Does he make the smart play? If the answer is NO - Travis and Glen need to man up and take some responsibility.
As for Bunkey, from what I see Amida and him were never tight - different crew and focus.
You're just going to have to debunk his theory!You've got to stop with this Bunkey story you've created. It's straddling the line between sad and creepy.
He has to beat her first.I agree. I'd attribute it to too much gymnastics training. Also, how could he expect to improve by scrimmaging against Morgan Tuck?!?! Without Bunkey around, I'm afraid we've lost Amida, even though he's clearly not ready. Who's gonna convince him to stay, Coach Miller?!?!
Good experience for Brimah working out for the Celtics. Brad Stevens is involved with many of the pre-draft workouts. Interacting with Brad Stevens is only going to help him(if Stevens participated). Realistically, Celtics probably wouldn't draft him. He doesn't fit in to their style of play. They like big guys who can stretch the floor. Ultimately, Brimah will probably return but can't fault him for working out for teams and receiving feedback from knoweldgeble NBA people.
Celtics are mor likely to tell him to go back to school than take a flier on him. They are very savy. I'm sure there are other players they would take over him with their second round picks.
I had been told Ainge had some degree of interest in Brimah - he was impressed with his shot blocking and how he runs the floor. It's not about giving him good advice.
Celtics have like five 2nd rounders. I wouldn't be surprised if they tell 5 guys who don't have 1st round hopes to stay in the draft, they take them, and send them all to the D-league until they are forgotten about or go overseas. The C's can selfishly end some college careers for guys who they will never play simply because of the surplus of second rounders, I don't like the sound of it.
I'm disappointed in DHam Brimah and Purvis for thinking they ready for the NBA and didn't do much in college to make the league and stay on a Team. I see these guys getting drafted but sent to the Samsung league and never getting more than 10 day contacts. Good luck to DHam and Brimah thought. Glad Purvis made the smart decision
