Celticsstrong 2021 Historical Draft - VOTES ARE IN

[Darth_Yoda]

With their 5th pick, the Toronto Raptors are going for their 6th man and selecting Spencer Haywood.

The Raptors will select 73 when Haywood was 1st Team All NBA, finished 7th in MVP voting (5th the prior year) and averaged 29.2 ppg, 12.9 rpg, and 2.5 apg.  Excellent foul shooter.  Athletic and strong.  We like his versatility off the bench and think he can play small ball center next to Malone or power forward next to Wallace giving the Raptors a lot of options in the big man rotation.

Plus, you gotta love a guy that sues the NBA for anti-trust violations and wins.

Great pick.

After much deliberation.

The Memphis Grizzlies are going all in on embracing the villain role in this league. This team wants to beat you up and let you hear all about it.

The Grizzlies select...



Ron Artest!

I want no part of a defensive forward tandem of Artest and Kirilenko lol.

I'm hoping to convince all the other GMs to persuade their team similarly

Draymond wants to tangle with them though

Rodman ain't afraid either! 

Rodman, Dray and Artest should form their own team / army

Finally!

Didn't see him fitting next to Kobe, but he literally reolutionised the draft process and lit up the league in the meantime

Yeah I was wondering who would pick him.

Ben Wallace is on the phone. He's asking why he wasn't invited to the party.

Ron got scared and hung up

[Somebody]

Give me some time to make my pick - I have a few guys who I really like.

[Somebody]

With the 6th pick in the 5th round, the Houston Rockets select the engine of some excellent Seattle squads in the late 70s and early 80s with his wizardry on both ends of the court:

Gus Williams

[Celtic Fan Forever]

With the 7th pick of Round 5, the Washington Wizards select Michael Redd

With the 7th pick of Round 5, the Washington Wizards select Michael Redd

I thought redd might last longer. Hoped to get him

[Moranis]

Redd was the other guy I considered with Haywood.  Ultimately I felt Haywood had a bit better peak, but Redd bombing 3's was certainly intriguing for me and I considered him for awhile.

[RPGenerate]

With this pick, I'm going with someone who's more of a complementary player. This guy was a great defender, and he can space the floor from the PF spot. With the 8th pick of the 5th round, the Sacramento Kings select...



Cliff Robinson!!!

Solid pick I think he works well with Moses.

Moses and Cliff make a nice Frontcourt. Good balance.

With the 9th pick in the 5th round of the Celticsstrong 2021 draft The Indiana Pacers welcome the Front Court pairing of Marc Gasol and



Paul "The AnchorMan" Milsap

[Who]

I love Millsap & M.Gasol together.

Those two would have great chemistry.
