Isaiah Thomas Tweets At NBA Draft Pundit Who Slighted Him
By Matt Dolloff, CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) -- Providence point guard Kris Dunn's NBA Draft stock is rapidly rising, and many are pegging him as the No. 3 pick to the Boston Celtics. He may immediately be the best guard on the team - just don't tell that to Isaiah Thomas.
ESPN's NBA Draft pundit Chad Ford posted two mock drafts and participated in a conference call with media where he said Dunn would instantly be the best point guard on the Celtics. In the call, he said: "The Celtics have been drafting point guards for a while, but I will say that Dunn is a better point guard prospect than anybody that currently sits on the Celtics' roster right now, which is appealing, and there's a defensive ability, especially that's very, very attractive."
Isaiah clearly took those comments as a direct slight to him. Here's what he tweeted at Ford in response:
Not sure what Isaiah wants Ford to say. "Dunn would be the second-best point guard behind Isaiah Thomas" isn't exactly a scorcher of a sports take, and Ford, being a draft analyst, is a professional B.S. artist. But hey, this needling of Isaiah can only help the Celtics moving forward.
