With our pick being in the 20's, I think there's definitely a chance we go the high school route again. I was also thinking Andre Blatche might be an option, due to his height, length, and perimeter skills that could lead him to being a tall SF for us. Scouting reports say that he's infatuated with the perimeter, but if he's coachable, he can be taught to slash and play more inside.
As for Gerald Green, I don't think we'll have the chance to grab him without moving up. But if Ainge likes him, we might see a trade of some sort to get him.
He's definitely got amazing athletic abilities, but I do see a lot of similarities in playing demeanor with Tracy McGrady. In the McDonald's game, there were times where he just played the one on one game--as soon as he got the ball, you just knew that all he was looking to do was score.
But again, being that he is so young and talented, if he's coachable, he can turn into a fabulous player who not only scores, but makes others around him better.
