00:00The final first round pick of this NBA draft is a man out of

00:07Creighton by way of South Dakota State Baylor Shireman. He

00:11makes his way to Boston. In 2 years, JY at CU led the Blue Jays

00:17to success in the NCAA tournament. Considered a

00:21prospect that ticks many boxes as he looks to take the next

00:24step into the National Basketball Association. Do you

00:28like what the Celtics did with the 30th overall pick? Wing

00:32depth and scoring. Check, check. So, a team that can shoot the

00:39ball like no one's business when they got one of the best

00:43pure shooters in the draft. Good luck second and in that

00:46second unit when you got Peyton Pritchard, then you got

00:49this guy Shireman and you got Sam Housers, the three guys, all

00:52of them can shoot it lights out. Al Horford can shoot it from

00:55three. It's it just speaks to how smart Brad Stevens is to

01:00looking at his roster and saying, we could do this,

01:03especially shoot the ball. How can we do it better? And they

01:08definitely did that by getting Baylor Shireman who could

01:11knock down shots, has a decent handle, not a great athlete, but

01:15the ability to just stand, shoot, or bring him off screens,

01:20clean footwork coming off of it. This is a really good pick

01:23for Boston at the end of the first round. It's hard not to

01:26like it. I think Shireman's ability to check a number of

01:30boxes, right? Not necessarily breakthrough, right? I'm not

01:34telling you he's a great defender. I'm telling you he's

01:35a great passer but he's passable in either scenario.

01:39Pretty good rebounder and as coach said, this is a guy who's

01:43shooting ability you trust and on the Boston Celtics who set

01:46records for three-point percentages, attempts, makes.

01:51That's just an automatic fit. Yeah. And I think drafting,

01:54this is kind of where it's different. We just talked about

01:57Terrence Shannon, right? And I also might prefer to Shireman

01:59the prospect to Shannon Junior but the Baylor played, you

02:03know, Baylor Shireman playing five years but it just fits a

02:05little bit better for me in Boston than maybe Shannon Junior

02:08does in Minnesota. However, I kind of think Flip would have

02:13been the pick here because the one smart money team need coach

02:16didn't allude to and he's right. They just checked two

02:18out of three boxes is a floor spacing five. I think what as

02:23what is such a separator for Boston is that any moment

02:26they're up there, you look at the line and be like, oh wow,

02:29everyone can shoot, right? Unless, you know, the Luke

02:30Cornette backup minutes there, right? But KP and Al Horford

02:34are such game changers. Yeah. And we know Flip can stretch

02:37the floor and I just think you put him in Boston system. So, I

02:41like Baylor Shireman. I'm not telling you that this is a

02:44slam dunk home run pick.
