Ryan Gomes

Why?

They had Ryan Gomes and Randy Foy playing alongside each other.

Both were good offensive players who protected the ball well.

But as we learned, having two guys who need the ball to score and two guys playing safe, overlapping ball handling roles, creates massive negative synergies.

That's the only name.

I know there's Gerald Green and maybe Ryan Gomes, but it's really just Al Jefferson who was the main part of the return plus the pick that they got.

Yeah, the NBA was a different

league back then.

The Bagley Magley duo.

Ryan Gomes.

Ryan Gomes.

Ryan Gomes.

All right.

Ryan Gomes.

He played at Providence, I believe.

Marcus Camby.

And so he has an NBA pedigree.

And by the way, he is the first Providence Friar since Ryan Gomes to don the green and white for the Celtics.

And of course, there have been a lot of Providence Friars that were fan favorites in Boston, like Kevin Stakeham and John Thompson, Bill Russell's backup.

Eric Williams.

Well, Guillermo, we are two weeks away from NBA training camp.

We're also going to be giving away tickets to the Lucky's Lounge seats coming up to a preseason game very soon to a Lucky's listener.

And the Celtics, for the first time since, I want to say, 2006 – 2007, maybe, when Ryan Gomes was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

We have a Providence Friar once again.

We had in Waterbury, we got the Father's Day tournament that was big back in the day.

Ryan Gomes coming, Kemba came one time.

Like it's...

it was dudes coming to the father's day to play.

I feel like, or as Bruce Pearl used to say, tough environments don't build, it reveals.

So it reveals your character.

uh, that was like having environments like that when I was young playing against, like I said, Ryan Gomes, Calvin Davis, uh, uh, beefy, uh, Keith, uh, Keith Cochran, um, uh, from new Haven, like guys like that, uh, they, they helped mold me for real.

And do you feel like you had to wear CT on your chest a little bit? Cause like you're going to these other places and people probably kind of writing you, even though you were ranked, like, you know, like for me, I was at, I was at St.
