BSJ Daily Briefing 11.19.20: Celtics make their picks; old friend Jack Easterby; bench moves for Sox

Good afternoon!

Your daily rundown of what's going on with the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution, and what's about to happen...

________________

• B-Robb killed it with exhaustive draft coverage all night, and I really have no idea what's going on with these picks and what they might mean. If anybody does, it's B-Robb.


• I like how Danny Ainge said Aaron Nesmith could probably step into the gym right now and probably outshoot anyone on the Celtics. A penny for Marcus Smart's thoughts.


• I'm all for the Celtics drafting a couple of shooters. They're like QBs and RBs. I'd take one every year. You never know who might hit.


• Will have a Patriots column up in a little bit. We get to see old friend Jack Easterby again. Bill Belichick threw a little shade this week when he said Easterby wasn't a personnel guy. That might be a shot at Bill O'Brien more than anyone.


• BTW, I still think O'Brien can coach and should get another shot in a place where there's a little more alignment. But if part of O'Brien's issues were people-related, why wasn't Easterby more of a help in that area? Maybe that was part of Easterby's plan. Did he know O'Brien would implode and let it happen?


• Sox going in a different direction for a bench coach.
