2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

[ChampKind]

Just got off a plane, got a list of players, but gonna do a little research.  Sorry about the delay.

[Gainesville Celtic]

The Buffalo Braves select Chris Duhon

Ok pick, his stats are a little inflated from the Knicks,he ran out of gas at the end of the year. He's a good teammate but I think there is at least a few other PGs better.

He can handle the ball, run an offense, defend and hit the 3. Fits my team.

Pretty good pick, but FWIW we had some other PGs rated higher than Mr. Party Time...

[KCattheStripe]

Just curious KC, if your team played the real Celtics, who guards Pierce and who guards Ray?

Rudy guards Pierce and Diaw chases Ray around screens, using his strength to fight over screens. I live with Bargs on KG because there's no better solution.

 

Bargnani on KG?

Diaw on Ray?

Hope no team in our league has a very good pf and shooting 2 guard

I meant to write Lopez on KG. Bargs is a good help defender. And I think you're overreacting about Diaw on Ray. Especially with the way Ray functions in the offense.

So Bargnani on Perk? 

DIAW is a 3/4 he can not play the two, he wouldn't be able to chase ray through screens, if he faced up Ray, Ray would go right by him. Please pick a two guard, Diaw can not play the two I am begging you!

He can absolutely guard Ray the way the Celtics play Ray. Even then you switch Rudy on Ray. OR even better, play a zone.

[The Walker Wiggle]

(i'm picking for the StartOrien & the Indiana Pacers, who sent me a list.....)

With the 16th pick of the 5th round, the INDIANA PACERS select ......
PG Ricky Rubio

Will he ever come to the states?  Will he ever develop a shot?

Will they ever show something more then the same few clips in different order.

I do not like this pick.  He does nothing for your team now.  And, no offense to the city, the location is not a place he will want to be.

I love this pick. Rubio will be on the Timberwolves this season. Bridge is burned with DKV Joventut. Kahn has already made a second trip to Spain, which suggests progress. And his jumpshot is no worse than Jeff Green's.

A Spanish media report said Wednesday that David Kahn went to Spain with a list of Minnesota companies willing to sign Rubio to endorsement deals for a sum totaling $4 million, which could pay all or most of a renegotiated deal with DKV Joventut.

What would you play a 3/2? with Bargnani coming over to block help,  except he doesn't block shots. I am not trying to attack your team I love Diaw, but he's not a two.

[Roy Hobbs]

I think Rubio / Curry are nice selections for a team looking to the future.  I mean, Rubio is coming over eventually, right?  So, to a team of the future, it doesn't really hurt if he gets a season or two more of experience in Europe before coming over.

Yeah cause Green only knocked down 39% of 200+ 3 point shots last season.



There are other Euro teams in places he rather be then Minn. (or Indiana for this exercise) that also can offer more money.

Asking for a 6th and 7th for 5.21

I don't mind Diaw guarding a 2 who plays with the ball out of his hands. THis team is all about match ups. Our offensive line-up is set with Diaw at the 3, but sdefensively we'll mix and match our man to man, but play a 3-2. By the way, Bargs blocked 1.2 per game shots last year.

[johnnyrondo]

I think if Bargnani ever tried to D perk up we'd finally see the Beast smile.

I'm fine with changing for match ups, I apologize Bargnani is a good weak side defender for blocking shots, he's just not someone you want guarding a good 4 in the post. So does this mean you aren't drafting another two?

[johnnyrondo]

Trust me if he had Bargnani on him, Rondo, Ray, Pierce and KG would all get him the ball.

The Grizzlies are moderately interested in moving into the 5th round. PM offers.
