Celticsstrong 2021 Historical Draft - VOTES ARE IN

[Who]

Going with Old School Banger McFilthy

Jeff Ruland brings the toughness, rebounding and low post presence to round out our Big rotation. Dude was also an exceptional passer.

He also sends Moses his regards.

Yeah, Ruland was right at the top of my board when thinking of "what backup center could be physical enough to bang with Moses down low?".

That guy was massive. And talented.

With the 8th pick of the 10th round, the Sacramento Kings select the guy who was before his time with his ability to stretch the floor with three point shooting...



Mehmet "The Money Man" Okur!!!

Nice pick! He was my backup option in case I missed out on Vucevic.

[Darth_Yoda]

Wizards take Latrell Sprewell

Grrrr

[Who]

With their 10th pick the Toronto Raptors will select David West.

While Mr. West is not exactly a position of need, his value in the 10th round is way to hard to pass up.  Back to back 20/9 type seasons and all star games on a very good Hornets/Pelicans team.

I had him pegged as a starting PF in this league.

Very surprised he wasn't more highly valued. Highly skilled offensive player, smart play, versatile defender who could bang some in the post and quick enough to hang with smaller guys on the perimeter. That is a valuable skill-set.

Great pickup.

With their 10th pick, the Memphis Grizzlies select...



Brad Miller!

Interesting pick.  One of the earlier centers to start going out for 3's (not a good shooter, but kept you honest), yet could still bang down low and get a rebound when you needed it.

A very good passer at the C position as well.

Yeah, I kept seeing him slide and thought I might have been missing something. 

I have 3 guys on my list for next round.  No one draft them.  Thanks in advance.

Yeah, wanted to go for a jack of all, master of none kind of guy. All-Star at both PF an C, good shooter, passer and rebounder, decent defender and alright scorer generally. Could do a bit of everything

Awesome stuff. Adds some mean to your bench

It depends what year Goukii selects, but he had some years where he was a really excellent shooter, along with great defense and passing.  Plus, he played some PF at a high level as well.

[Who]

The Chicago Bulls select Josh Howard with the final pick of the 10th round and choose Norm Nixon with the first pick of the 11th round.

[gouki88]

The Chicago Bulls select Josh Howard with the final pick of the 10th round and choose Norm Nixon with the first pick of the 11th round.

Josh Howard seems like quite an ideal backup to the Doctor. Nixon is great value at this round

NORM VAN LIER

[gouki88]

With the 2nd pick in Round 11 of the 2021 Historical Draft the Phoenix Suns select:



NORM VAN LIER

First time back-to-back selections of a Norm?

He’s a really solid pick. Great defender, good passer and good rebounder

NORM VAN LIER

Really excellent defender and all-around PG.
