Do you think going to the NBDL for a while will help or hurt GG? These are the following players I think it might have helped or hurt and why

KG, maybe helped for about 3 weeks, but he could play right away

Kobe Maybe 6 months would have helped. The Lakers didn't need his 7.8 ppg his rookie year that bad

J O'neal seeing as how his team was stacked with big men I think the full two years would have helped

Tracy M, it took him about 4 years to blossom (hmmm how long is college again?0, so maybe 2 years could have helped

Deshawn Stevens - 2 years

Korleon Young, would possibly have a career right now if this rule had existed

Osmine Cisse - ditto

Eddy Curry - didn't need it.

Ty Chandler - Maybe one year

Desaga Diop - At least the Cavs would have found out how bad he was

Lenny Cooke - yep

Amare Stoudmire - the ROY was fine without it

Lebron - of course not

Al J - maybe 3 weeks

Perk - mayeb one year

Travis Outlaw - 2 years

Ndudi Ebi - 2 years

R Swift - 2 years

Monta Ellis - 2 years

Martell Webster - too early to know

Louis Williams - 2 years

CJ Miles - 2 years

Dwight Howard - 3 weeks

Shawn Livingston - maybe just to work on his body so he didn't get hurt (yes this concerns me about GG)

Sebastian Telfair - maybe just for an attitude adjustment

Josh Smith - nope

JR Smith- maybe 2 months

Darko - 2 years

Kwame Brown - 7 months

Darius Miles - 1 year or two

Jon Bender - 2 years

Al harrington - 2 years

Rashad Lewis - 1 week

Notice this is only high schoolers. There were tons of freshmen (remember Omar Cook and Marice Taylor) and sophomores (William Avery) who weren't ready

Depends if Doc is going to play him or not. Seeing how there are so many quality players in front of him who can play his position (either SF or SG), if he's not even getting a fair amount of minutes in practice, it might be more beneficial for him to participate in the NBDL. In front of him, there's Pierce, Ricky, Allen, Gomes, and Reed. In time, he'll leap frog over most of them, but for the early part of his rookie year, it may be wiser to get him into the rhythm of playing against competition higher than high school ball.

The Boston Celtics is not a just team of basketball players, but is a world wide family of individuals who bleed green and follow the team through thick and thin. No such thing as fair weather Celtics fans.

I think they view him as a highly talented future star, and I think th e y'll keep him close at hand for the coaching, even if he isn't playing.

Right Ferbo.

I see the NBDL as a place for guys like Bynum that just need a chance to show they belong. We need this years players around the team and under our coaches watchful eyes.

This was overall a good projection on who would benefit for whatever amounts of time for HS guys.
And about Greene, I dont see them letting him go. Banks after all may be numbered. But you can bet Danny will not let banks go for nothing at all. Reed it doesn't seem will be dealt right now either. He seems active with Al Jefferson around Boston helping charities. But, who knows.

He might be at point, one day, with West the #6 man. West could be a settling factor off the bench, as a 1 or 2 guard. This also gives DA a tall 1 in OG.... If things work out for our team.

It won't be a physical standpoint

I was mentioning Greene as in ORIEN. Damn, spell it right at least! I got confused and I was thinking Orien a star? No way.
Wait, it was your fault celtic17. you didn't follow up on one of my responses and tell me that you were talking about Gerald when I was clearly talking about Orien with all the other pgs being cut or not being cut. So here I was thinking it was Orien for a minute. Not to mention, you followed up my response by spelling it Greene also and not Green as in Gerald.

I fallowed your Orien Greene post with an Orien Green post of my own...(read it again)... Someone else switched up the Green/Greene subject. I'm sure it won't be the last time either.

Not the first time (for either of us) and I do believe Orien can be a star. Why not? Are we to put limits on players that haven't had a chance yet?
