2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

The only problem with AI2 is that he's not much of a shooter.  Great player, though.

Says the GM who drafted Iggy 26th last year.

Honestly, I like both picks.

Yeah, I like him a lot.  I just remember how others criticized the pick.  After watching how he played with Brand in Philly, it does seem as though his lack of perimeter scoring hurts the team.

He absolutely thrives in a running offense, though, and he's hugely disruptive on the defensive end.

Jimmy O!

oooh... back-to-back picks

The Golden State Warriors Select Carlos Boozer with their first pick.

I was wondering how far he would fall, nice pick.

With our second pick this round for the second year in a row the Warriors select Steve Nash who we feel is a perfect fit for what we want to do.

Pacers looking to trade a third and a fifth for a 2nd.

Put players names in red so they're easier to see.

Agreed.

I would say, I think the pacers are on track for team of the future.  Aldridge is up and coming and I think AI2 still has his best years ahead of him

Coach Jeff Van Gundy has already mentioned that Stephen Jackson will be playing small forward for the DC Boxers this year and believes the combination of Kevin Martin and Jackson at his wing positions is as dangerous and young a combo you will see in the league at those positions.

Whereas, this is the pick of yours that I like. Nash has held up amazingly, an offensive marvel, a great competitor, and a steal here.

Nash and Boozer.  Pick and roll offense?

Yeah, Nash is a great player.  He was overvalued last season, but for a "win now" team, he's a great pick at this selection this year.

Joe Johnson was a good pick.

Morning everyone.  Any deals to be made?  (especially as the cost should be much lower now)

[JSD]

I'm still in shock Joe Johnson fell to the 2nd round.
