Here's the details on what we will be trying to accomplish in this thread

You are the GM of the Boston Celtics the day after the 2000-2001 season ends

For the purpose of this exercise will will assume all players will be returning and that trades, free agency and salary cap rules in the NBA don't exist

Your mission, through using the draft picks that the Boston Celtics had at the positions that they picked, build a new Boston Celtics team by simply drafting players that were available at those picks

The roster can never be over 15 players so before each draft year you must cut players permanently and then add players through the draft

You can draft players that were undrafted free agents that year, I will try to supply as many notable ones as I can find

Here is your 2000-2001 Boston Celtics

Mark Blount C
Antoine Walker PF
Paul Pierce SF
Bryant Stith SG
Randy Brown PG
Vitaly Potapenko C
Tony Battie F - C
Eric Williams SF
Milt Palacio SG
Kenny Anderson PG
Jerome Moiso PF   208
Walter McCarty PF
Chris Carr SG
Adrian Griffin SG
Chris Herren PG

Find them if you can


NBA Rosters can not have any more than 15 players so before each draft you must cut the amount of players beforehand that you will be selecting in that years draft and they will be cut forever

You can however elect to not sign a drafted player keeping that roster spot open making it not necessary to cut as many players the next year if you like

You also can sign that player at a later date just note it in the drafted player's section the year you sign them

If like like I will provide this template for you to cut and paste to keep track of your team and to present your final roster
