2008 CelticsBlog draft board.

[Gainesville Celtic]

sorry my computer clock seems fast....

[StartOrien]

The Indiana Pacers select:

Jared Jeffries

[Lucky17]

With the 16th pick in the 12th round, the Atlanta Hawks select Jarvis Hayes.

[Roy Hobbs]

With the 16th pick in the 12th round, the Atlanta Hawks select Jarvis Hayes.

Nice pick.  He's exceptional value at this point.

[Big Ticket]

The Cavs select a young swingman that turned it on pretty well for the Knicks at the end of last season:

Wilson Chandler

very nice pick this late, he's a quality prospect == much higher than about 30 or so that have been taken thus far (George HIll, McGee, etc.)

"Much" higher?  Is that why McGee was taken 5 spots higher (albeit in a later... but also deeper draft)?  I am just interested to know how you are confident to say Chandler is a much higher prospect than McGee, when even real life GM's swing and miss on prospects taken outside of the lottery about 40-60% of the time, if not more.

Besides, McGee was drafted for need and because of his great potential.

The Indiana Pacers select:

Jared Jeffries

That's a great pick. Don't know why I thought he was already taken.

[Lucky17]

With the 17th pick in the 12th round, the Atlanta Hawks select Josh McRoberts.

[Lucky17]

With the 18th pick in the 12th round, the Atlanta Hawks select Kyrylo Fesenko.

[Roy Hobbs]

Lucky is definitely making the best of his 12th rounders.  No superstars, but solid guys.

[wdleehi]

The next one has to be Scali.

[Gainesville Celtic]

he's also taking his sweet time.

agreed roy, Lucky's been a consistently good drafter the whole time.

[Lucky17]

Sorry to disappoint, wdleehi.

With the 19th pick in the 12th round, the Atlanta Hawks select Petteri Koponen.

[RebusRankin]

How has Scali not been taken? Every other Celtic has. I expect little house to go next round.

[wdleehi]

he's also taking his sweet time.

It's showmanship.  

[Roy Hobbs]

Sorry to disappoint, wdleehi.

With the 19th pick in the 12th round, the Atlanta Hawks select Petteri Koponen.

I forgot all about him.  In his playing for the Blazers this year, or is he still overseas?
