2008 CelticsBlog draft board.

[JSD]

Rockets Select: O'Neal, Shaquille

Wow, I was gonna pick him in the 5th. I like the idea though, especially on your young team where you need an experienced vet.

I had him slotted in the 5th as well but with the way this board has been i threw my projections out the window and got a solid veteran with championship experience to come off the bench.

Clippers select Rafer Alston

[Roy Hobbs]

Clippers select Rafer Alston

Rafer will help Dirk work on his toughness by teaching him knife fighting skills.

The Knicks select Erick Dampier

The Knicks select Erick Dampier

Seems a bit early for him, but I guess he can still contribute.

I got the beast Al Thornton

That's the player I was thinking about, but I have to switch Manu to the 3, so he'd be a bench player on my squad.  Good pick.

You wouldn't have to switch Manu to the 3. Thornton is 6-8 220 and an absolute beast he can easily play the 3. He probably would have more trouble playing the 2 than playing the 4

He meant because he has Dwayne Wade, Manu has to play 3

Yup, exactly.  I didn't think Thornton could play the 4, especially since Manu is already a stretch at the 3.

I don't think you've assigned proper value to the 5 spot...

Nets select Drew Gooden

How many big C out there left that can start?


Plus, it looks like good protection for KG at PF.

he wouldnt necessarily have to. wade and manu could start in the backcourt and thonrton could play the 3.. i mean both wade and manu can facilitate the offense. both are very capable of playing with and without the ball in their hands.

Guess your right, I thought of it more player-wise than center-wise

Wizards select JR Smith

[The Walker Wiggle]

Memphis Grizzlies have interest in moving up into the bottom of the 4th round or barring that the top of the 5th.

Management is in the chat room now.
