. . . of the vital importance and extreme difficulty of evaluating how talented players will perform at the next level.
We attribute much of Geno's success to his ability to do this. We also recognize that he and his counterparts are unencumbered by the restrictions (e.g., draft and salary cap) faced by pro sports teams. Despite vast expenditures of time and money, it is amazing how often the professionals get it wrong. The list of costly and embarrassing "busts" is long - but so is the roster of diamonds-in-the-rough.
The Boston Celtics have eight picks: #'s 3, 16 and 23 in round 1 and 5 more in round 2. Anyone care to guess what Danny Ainge will do, especially with pick #3?
