Danny Ainge did not have a good offseason following the postseason bubble. That’s a fact. His signings and failure to round out the roster with shooting and legitimate ball-handlers hampered the Boston Celtics throughout the regular season, which led to them getting gentlemen swept by the Nets in the playoffs.
All this to say, Ainge did not do everything wrong. On draft night, he took Payton Pritchard with the 26th overall pick in the NBA draft. This pick turned out to be a steal.
