Great idea for a thread.
Couple thoughts:
1. It's really hard to avoid thinking of guys drafted by the C's that you didn't like, but then talked yourself into because you had no choice, then busted. For example, never liked jujuan, read up on him more after he was drafted, talked myself into his positives, then got let down.
2. To those who think they are perfect drafters:
I think its really easy to look at 3-4 guys available at a certain position in the draft, and you like one for a week, then another, then another...you never have to nail down your answer, then after the fact, when one of those 4 players you liked pans out, you kind of think "oh, I totally liked that guy, definitely would have taken him there." Kind of like how 100% of the population would have drafted Durant over oden at that point. But you never had to nail down a pick with a job on the line.
Here's my proposal:
We get 30 Celticsbloggers, do a lottery. You get 2 picks (1st and 2nd round). Happens every year. After 1 season of play, everyone gets rated by everyone else on a scale of 1-5 for quality of the pick at that position. We draft each year, and each draft is graded every year. After 4 years, worst 5 scores get ejected, and 5 new people join. (After 4 years, just prior to the 2018 draft, you'd be graded on the 2014 draft 4 times, 2015 draft 3 times, 2016 draft 2 times, 2017 draft once.)
