With the 9th pick in the 11th round of the Celticsblog NBA Draft the DC Boxers select: Austin Daye

Yeah, there's no reason for him to still be around, either.

You've been killing it with the picks, nick.

I like it. Solid summer league. Probably too weak to play much right away though, he's only like 170 pounds soaking wet despite being 6'10, but a great investment.

Jeez a lot of double picks today.

I'd encourage folks to use the "Control F" function on the first page of the thread, to do a search.

It's no big deal usually, I'd just hate to see somebody make a double selection and then get jumped.

Yea I've been doing it since round 9, but it hasn't really happened a lot before today.

cause it got updated the day before

there's alot of guys that aren't crossed off, easy to miss em when scratching up a list if your in a hurry

well ctrl+f the whole name won't help the player list since they are last name, first name.  While the picks taken are first name last name.

I like this pick a lot in the 11th. Of course, Houston's GM also has an obvious bias towards 6'10" small forwards. (Well, and combo guards.)

Bulls select rookie James Johnson

I like this pick. If I had a spot in my roster for him I' would have drafted him.

When I wanted to move up I told people there was going to be value in the 11th. Some even voiced their displeasure by calling my offers "crappy".

I like my guys. I like the different set of skills I have for my coach to use. I like the youth and potential for further development. I like the guys that are stars now and can make this team a playoff team now. It's not winning a championship this year but in 2-3 years I wouldn't say it was beyond going very, very deep in the playoffs.

The Houston Rockets select: Leon Powe.

Thanks 16th pick in the draft. 7'1" wingspan Forward who did well in the Vegas Summer league. He's excited to get the backup SF minutes in Chitown.

beat me for 3 picks
I wanted him to be in my injury list

Good pick. Closest thing you have to a center

It's going to be long enough.

(Sorry, just too easy.)

Nicely done. Would've taken him.

right, but the problem is the way we vote, thats a tough sell for people.

IT helps if the guy gets run now that we re-eval, but there's a fine line between guy who has NBA stats to point at and rookie tearing up the summer league when your writing about your future.

It's why i've laid off 2-3 rooks picked in the second round. with no stats in the NBA to back them up, its a very tough sell the way we vote. people assume your fluffing them up (even if your not, i like your picks)
