What's new

Do you think our FO has Ace, Tre and VJ ranked 3-5?

We know for sure Ainge likes guys with pedigree. 4 out of our last 6 first-round picks were top-7 in RSCI. Hendricks and Sensabaugh being the two outliers.

He also drafted Smart, Brown, Tatum, and Langford all in the lottery who were all top-10 in RSCI as well. He selected Young at 16th overall in the same draft as Smart in 2014 who was top-10 in RSCI too.

If we go back even further he drafted Jared Sullinger and Fab Melo with back-to-back first-round picks in 2012. Sullinger (2nd in RCSI) and Melo (14th in RCSI).

This obviously isn’t the only data point because there are a few outliers but that’s enough to me that it is definitely a data point he heavily considers.

The top-5 RSCI this year you make ask?

Flagg
Ace
Harper
VJ
Tre

McNeeley, Powell, Newell, Queen, Knueppel, Bryant were all also in the top-20.
I like this and love the data points. Definitely shows a tendency that also goes beyond some attributes.
