Pick 2.8 - Boston Celtics select Steve Nash.

Two-time MVP is a great pick at this point.

I really thought about Steve Nash, even as far back as the first round. My problem is, I really have no idea how I'm going to argue for his lack of defense.

But yeah, him combined with KD makes up for an efficient scoring machine.

Nash and Durant is one fricken efficient duo

Yeah, I like the duo. Actually like a lot of these duos.

Since everyone seems comfortable with where they are picking, I will go ahead and post my selection soon.

The 76ers select Klay Thompson

Pick 2.8 - Boston Celtics select Steve Nash.

I'd like to rave about this pick for a minute.  I had him as #10 overall.

He was SO good.  He was Curry before Curry, minus the range.  A pick and roll savant, deadly from anywhere on the court, super efficient, and made his teammates better (on offense).

If Horry hadn't checked Steve Nash causing the Amare suspension, Nash very well might have a title in '07 and been the clear engine/best player on that team.  That's a level above IMO a few guys who have been drafted already, so I have to consider this pick a great value.

I had Nash at 11. Probably the best passing PG of the era and maybe the second best PG shooter of the era after Curry.

The 76ers select Klay Thompson

Klay & Kawhi.  Nice!

Absolutely love the fit there. Klay being a non-ball dominant guy can give Kawhi all the touches and yet he can still drop 60 on you.

The 76ers select Klay Thompson

Klay & Kawhi.  Nice!

Yeah, I like that - lot of shooting and wing defense right there. Neither guy is ball-dominant is either despite being prolific scorers. Makes it easy to fit other offensive threats into the mix.

[Moranis]

Interesting round.  There are still some excellent players and excellent seasons left.  Just a strange draft.  A lot of fit drafting and not taking the best player available.  I just find that strange in the first couple of rounds.  Have to get the talent and worry about the fit later.
