I see baylor not just as a svi replacement but also as a brissy replacement (Cs like to keep 1 roster spot open). His ceiling though is high that i can see him breaking into that top 8, taking over PPs role. Yes, Pp. Not sam. Baylor has legit point guard skills and playmaking chops. Taking PP out instead of Sam removes the player opposing teams like to mismatch hunt. PP got played off the floor in that finals. Baylor, once his defense is at Sams level, wont get played off the floor. He'll be a tall PG. i expect the Cs to do this with theur current FAs: 1. pick up queta and springer TO. 2. let svi and brissy walk 3. re-sign both luke and tillman. If one leaves, go sign theis to vet min.

I see him as our 13th guy next year with maybe a slight role in a finals in 3-4 years. Maybe 6moy guy at his best. He has a really nice offensive game. Brad is my hero

Good Celtics pick and fine analysis!

[@CelticsPod]

I’m really excited for him! And thank you! We try our best haha

[@TheRobversion1]

​@@CelticsPodsame. I gave brad an A for that pick. He was top 2 on my list.

What is walsh? Could he even guard Sam Cassell? Let me see Walsh guard JB. What is the truth?

[@gullintanni]

He's too young to play nba games, but he has defensive potential for sure. His IQ is just lacking but it will come with time.

[@TheRobversion1]

​@@gullintanniyup. Not ready. Summer league will show how close he is.

[@juliusrickles]

Walsh has a better shot guarding JB than 80% of the league

[@paulscott6998]

@@gullintanniDo you think Walsh is better defensively than Springer?

[@gullintanni]

​@@paulscott6998He has a lot better size so he can guard 1-3 a bit more effectively. He also has amazing length so he can challenge bigger players once he beefs up 20lbs.

Great pick!!!

[@CelticsPod]

Agree 100%, man! Perfect fit for this C’s team. Hopefully the steal of the draft!

[@cashoutAbu]

We got three great shooters on our bench in Sam , svi, Baylor ☘️☘️💪🏽

[@CelticsPod]

I’m not sure Svi comes back next season, but that’s cool, Pritchard is an elite shooter, too - so there’s still 3 of them on the bench :) appreciate you tuning in!

[@TheRobversion1]

​@@CelticsPodsvi will be gone to make space for baylor. Or as i like to call him "baller shooterman"
