I have used our slack channel quite a bit, but please tell me more about the tacos. I missed lunch today.
It's an add in app that keeps a team leader board of tacos received. Each slacker has 5/day to give out. Companies can assign real-world prizes to get when you redeem certain amounts of internet tacos.

@Indy :taco: for working through lunch.
@Superbone :taco: :taco: for the lack of puns today.

Looks like we won't be getting Tatum, TOO. :(
I'll be so happy if Tatum is the Celtics pick.
Why?
I just really want us to pick Isaac or Jackson. I also think it opens up more possibilities. I think the chances are very low that we trade for KP, but I think they're slightly higher if Jackson is still on the board. I won't be too upset with a Tatum pick, just more excited about Jackson and Isaac.

I can't imagine how internet tacos could be very filling.

I just copied Chad Ford's last string of tweets to make it one post, interesting stuff

Great discussion with a NBA GM about faulty comps of top players in the draft because of disparity’s in wingspan/reach/hand size.
Josh Jackson 6-10 wingspan/small hands. Kawhi Leonard 7-3 wing/enormous hands. It’s a big, big difference in success of a player.
Jonathan Isaac 6-11/7-1 wingspan. Kevin Durant 6-10/7-5 wingspan. Again, it’s a major, major difference. And Durant a much better shooter
Same with comparing Isaac with Greek Freak. Anteokoumpo came into league at 6-9/7-3 wingspan and huge hands.

The Jackson-kawhi comparisons were never fair, neither were the isaac-durant or isaac-antetekounmpo comparisons.

More realistic ceilings are Butler/Iggy for Jackson and I'm not really sure for Isaac. He's a little more unique, maybe something like Ibaka/Odom

Some media day interviews. Fox and Isaac are both very likeable guys who come across well in the media.

You're fine, those are common comparisons for those guys, just part of the over valuing we see of draft prospects.

A cross-racial comparison! And it's probably the most accurate one I've heard for Jackson. We'll done, TOO.

I thought Bender was supposed to be our AK47! We can't have 2 Russian machine guns on the roster!
