Maybe I am overreacting a tad but it looked to me like none of the rooks were particularly interested in playing D. Couple that with all the bricks being chucked (not all by the rooks) and things get flammable quickly.

Brice hustled all game and had some good hustle plays before the benching. I didn’t see what you did. They weren’t playing good ball but they were playing.

Maybe it was just a bad day at the office for all of them. However who ever in the scouting department that recommended drafting them better have their ducks in a row when Ainge starts asking questions Monday morning. Sometimes the rooks look competitive and last night they sure didn't.

I'd be very surprised if the final decision on all draft picks isn't DA's so assume the buck of culpability stops with him.
I'd also assume the scouts have enough survival sense to avoid going overboard with their recommendations for any given player in their portfolio.

Ya they didn’t perform well. They went up against a far superior team that will challenge for a title with some elite vets they got blitzed early and momentum is a big thing in the nba. It was bound to happen with all of the best players out other than the smallest player on the team. And it’ll probably happen again.
