Funny how much attention the 45th pick in the draft is getting by Celtic fans this season. The same fans who casually toss in 2nd round picks as worthless throw-ins in most trade discussions. When it becomes the only draft asset, suddenly it doesn't feel so worthless.
The 2nd round picks that Ainge has drafted have for the most part been worthless over the last 20 years. Think Abdel Nader and Ryan Gomes were the best players taken, which is just pathetic. Other teams like OKC and San Antonio seem to hit in the second round regularly. Hopefully this changes for the C’s now that Brad is GM.
E'Twaun Moore is by far the best, he just barely played for us
Also, I don't think any team 'regularly' hits in the 2nd round.
Forgot about Moore, good call. Although, I don’t thinks he’s better than Gomes. Ryan had 4 years where he was a good role player. His career averages are basically 10ppg, 5reb, 1.5ast. E’Twaun Moore’s career average: 5pts, 2reb, 1.5ast.
Some of the spurs players that I thought were second rounders, were late firsts. There top second round picks over the last 20 years: Ginobli, Scola, and Blair. Seattle, In that same time span drafted Lewis, Watson, Blount. Not regularly, but once in a while they hit on good players. C’s have not.
