[Jake Fisher] "There is not much interest in this former 1st-round picks that Boston has. From Payton Pritchard to Romeo Langford to Grant Williams. They had draft pick after draft pick after draft pick, that hasn't netted them anything more than back of the rotation type players."
On SiriusXM NBA Radio, Jake Fisher of Bleacher Report talked about the Celtics struggles.
>"I would say the early returns so far from what I’ve heard from around the league, there is not much interest in this former first-round picks that Boston has. From Payton Pritchard to Romeo Langford to Grant Williams. I think Aaron Nesmith probably has the highest value of that group. It’s difficult. That’s kind of why they’re in the situation that they’re in right now. They had draft pick after draft pick after draft pick, that hasn’t netted them anything more than back of the rotation type players. They haven’t really developed anybody outside of that besides Robert Williams, and they are where they are."
>"So I think this is definitely the beginning of the end of the Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown pairing. I don’t know if that will get broken up this season. But I think sometime in the next 12 to 18 months we’re really going to start to hear conversations about the future of Boston with Jaylen Brown heading out the door."
