2025 CelticsBlog Fantasy Draft: '05-'25 Edition

[smokeablount]

Big suspense for me here, there are 1-2 standout guys for me that I really hope survive Rody and Tim's double dips

[smokeablount]

Gaaa, really wanted White.

White was #2 on my list.

Such a killer in this kind of league.

I guess I had no chance at White. I was hoping to grab him first pick tomorrow. He's really good but there are still some pretty absurd PG names floating around out there

I got his value all wrong. I thought White would be available in the 10th round.

Same. But it makes sense. As a bench off ball 2 guard, versatile defender and near elite shooter to play with a ball dominant PG or wing, there really isn't anyone better on the board entering today

Guys who can play excellent D, drain 3s off the catch or the bounce with volume and accuracy and attack/pass off closeouts are super valuable in a league with this much shot creation.

Team USA team-building logic.

[smokeablount]

RodyTur10 has 30 minutes to make his 2 picks, until 11:06am, after which time he can be skipped by Timdawgg!

Timdawgg has until 11:16am to make 2 picks, until he/both GMs can be skipped by Dons!

With yesterday not ending close to the scheduled time, I'd like to try and stay on track today.

Thank you all!

EDIT - looks like Rody and Tim are both here, very good

[Timdawgg]

Man I really wanted Crash.  Great pick. 

[smokeablount]

I like the Millsap pick. Underrated on defense and can stretch the floor. Was actually probably one of the best defensive big men in the league during his prime defensive years

Like the Rob pick too. Can be very effective in his role here.

Timdawgg is on the clock!

[Roy H.]

Camby is just a cool guy to have on a team.  And, Kevin Love is fantastic value.

Timelord is a really hard player for me to judge in a historical context.  In some alternative universe, he's healthy and is reigning DPOY right now.

[Donoghus]

With the 70th pick in the draft the Toronto Raptors select: Robert Williams!

Big surprise, yes! But he doesn't have to play 25 minutes plus a night.
He can just come in and be disruptive as hell.

If he would've stayed healthy after his strong 21/22 season, he probably would have won DPOY sometime.

Not gonna lie. That is a HUGE surprise.

No one's commented on the Gordon Hayward pick. One of the few stars on mediocre teams who I could see doing just as well on a stacked team because of how flexible his offensive game is, plus his defensive contributions.

I really like Hayward.  His last year in Boston, when he came off the bench and absolutely excelled, is proof to me that he'd do well in this game.

[Roy H.]

Dons adds four rings and a Finals MVP.

Surprised KAT lasted this long. Game-breaking range and offensive skill. I almost picked him, but I couldn't justify it with how big and slow my towers were already.

[Timdawgg]

Great pick Smokeablount. Shocked he was still around. I was debating on taking him 4 picks ago.. had to really decide between him and Kevin Love. Tough to pick what KAT's best season was, was it last year?
