"Weak" draft: Lessons of 2006

[KungPoweChicken]

It was a weak draft because there is still not one star player from it. I suppose one could make the argument for Rudy Gay being that guy, but even that's a stretch.

Rajon Rondo: 3 time all star.

3 time all star, huh? Where did you get that from?

I get that from missing the "2" key and hitting the "3"

Superstar: 0

Allstar: 2(Rondo & Roy)

Fringe/Psudo-Allstar Caliber players: 3
(Gay, Aldridge, & Milsap)

Starter: 2 (A.Bargnani & K.Lowry)

Role Player/Top Rotation guys: 6
Jordan Farmar, Randy Foye, Ronnie Brewer, Shannon Brown, JJ Reddick, & Ty Thomas

Bench Warmer/specialists: 1(Daniel Gibson)

5 high caliber players, 2 starters, 6 role players, and a specialist. 13 out of 60, NBA players? Sounds weak as advertised to me.

Thabo Sefolosha is a starter and Powe is a great role player.

Was a great role player, was.

And will be again.

He's already shown a few times that he's capable of being his old self.  Memphis' rotation was already set; I'd bet that with minutes he'd come close to his prior productivity.

Yes, on a bad team.  Being a good rotational player on a bad team doesn't make you a great role player.  JJ Barea is a great role player, Leon Powe, not so much anymore.  I think this draft is deeper than people are giving it credit for.  It lacks star power, but that doesn't effect the Celtics anyways with the 25th pick.  There are a lot of rotation guys in this draft who will have the ability to play in this league.

I wouldnt consider memphis a bad team

Powe had like, two good playoff games for the celtics... what else has he done to classify him as a great role player?

Are you sure the "weak" draft to learn from is 2006 and not the "WEAK" draft of 2000?  The lesson there is that in a truly weak draft you should follow the advice from The Amityville Horror and "GET OUT"!

I meant in the future.  He wasnt that great of a role player with Memphis.
