Celticsstrong 2021 Historical Draft - VOTES ARE IN

[Who]

The Houston Rockets select Larry Kenon.

I was torn between Kenon and Arenas. Not sure what the right choice was to make.

I love Kenon. Awesome player. So well rounded and athletic. Some better decision making especially on his shot selection and he could've been an MVP candidate.

[Who]

My bad, didn't realise I were on the clock.

With the 8th pick of the 9th round, the Milwaukee Bucks select Toni Kukoč.

I was hoping Toni would last another round so he reunite him with Vlade and Drazen.

Thoughts on his defence? I didn't do much tracking on him while doing my 70s scouting.

I liked his D. Very active on deflections. He could get pushed around a bit at PF when SAS used him there but very effective vs guys his own size.

That would have been awesome! There are also 2 former Celtics who were teammates with Drazen, Vlade and Toni. One of them is definitely not good enough to be drafted. I thought about drafting the second one, but his advanced stats are pretty average tbh.

[nickagneta]

Suns always willing to talk trade.

We have picks 10(1), 10(9) and 11(2) tomorrow and everyone but Giannis is open game to talk trade about.

I will be going over to the other thread to give my critiques and possibly an early ranking, depending on how energy I have left in me this evening.

[Jvalin]

How about we draft 15 players (full roster) instead of 12? I got plenty of binkies in mind, but I'm starting to run out of picks! Not enough roster spots for all of them!

Eh... did Gouki forget he drafts again today? 

Well, it's 4:56 AM in Melbourne. Chances are he went to sleep. Can't blame him!

True, but you'd think he give a draft board to someone so they can draft for him.

I’m up at my farm at the moment which is pretty out in the middle of nowhere and the power went out - my alarm didn’t go, phone died!

Won’t happen again everyone, sorry about that

Pfft.

Excuses. I think you should have to give up a future 2nd.

Top 55 protected....in a 10 team league....that made me chuckle for some weird reason. TP4U

With the whatever pick it is due to my own stuff up, the Memphis Grizzlies select...



Mr Chicago Bulls, Jerry Sloan!

You know what this reminds me of? When I was going through the eligible players for this draft, the amount of incredibly good to Hall of Fame worthy coaches that you found amongst these players

What happens if we draft a coach as well? He'd be playing for one team and he'd be coaching another team at the same time.
