2009 Celticsblog Draft: Voting Analysis : Team of the Future

[Roy Hobbs]

They're both bad rebounders.

You're a bad rebounder.

Your Mom's a bad rebounder.

Seriously though I dunno why some shorter stronger guys are good rebounders (Leon), and some are not (Baby)...its all a mystery. They're both bad rebeounders though.

Rodman and Barkley weren't tall. I think height and rebounding don't go together as much as people want them too. Of course a 7 footer will rebound better than a 6 footer, but when you're talking the difference of 6'8" vs 6'10" much more goes into who will rebound better than the height advantage.

Also some shorter guys who rebound well have long arms. No one rebounds with the top of their head.

Oh I disagree sir!!! I would take Rondo rebounding rather than blount any day

I agree with that one. We agree! World peace is possible!

We can't have that.

JR, why will your team beat Toronto if you guys are fortunate enough to meet in the second round?

[Rondo2287]

It feels like independance day when everybody works together against a common enemy.  Except in that case it was aliens that are trying destory man kind and in our case its Mark Blount.

jgod: any chance you justify some of your votes? Like maybe how you have Phoenix #8?

[Hoyo de Monterrey]

ATTENTION GMS OF: New York, Chicago, Detroit, Indiana, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Miami/Cuba, Charlotte, Denver, Utah, Houston, Memphis, San Antonio, Golden State, Buffalo, AND Las Vegas!!!

THANK YOU.

riah, there's a reason why your team is continually being rated between 9 and 13 in  the West. It's because it's not good.

If your team got into the playoffs, no offense I dont see how mine doesnt? I have 2 legit all stars a good but not great pg and i think a fairly decent pf in thompson and a back-up in Craig Smith thats good

Yeah, that's kinda calling my team out! No offense!

Nicck I did add the no offense in my defense. I was actually trying to bring your team down but trying to get people to draw a comparising even though you have a little more depth then I do i feel I got to players that make are teams almost equal but you might have me by a little just because of my lack of depth at the center.

I'm sure it involves the words "lane clogging bigs" and "point guard who can't shoot".

Dont answer that question JR!!! ITS A TRAP!!!

He is not more ready than thabeet there stasing him over seas.....thabeet is playing in the NBA next year and hasnt played basketbll as many years as most of these guys have and U think based on that he will be really goood after about a month ir so of playing.

They brought Ibaka over this summer, signed him to a 2 yr contract.

And I think Thabeet will be worse this year because it takes big men longer to adapt to the NBA game, especially undersized big men. (muscle-wise. I know he's 10 ft tall)

Look, I think Thabeet will eventually be good, but you're counting on chicks that haven't hatched yet.

Helping or hurting, Roy? Helping or hurting?

Besides, you fully expect Rondo's jump shot to improve. I dunno how you keep misremembering that, Mr. Gonzales.

I answered that like 10 pages ago. If I post it again, will you read it this time?

[RebusRankin]

My bench isn't as bad as people think.

Did your 6th man just get traded for Mark Blount?


(I know, cheap shot)

Umm Zaza is officially the 6th man. Yeah thats it.

Lol the ultimate comeback. I think that most shorter stronger guys, do not have good rebounding numbers, but they do box out well which is in my opinion the most important part of rebounding.
How badly was the Celtics team rebounding hurt when KG went down? If I remember correctly it wasn't a large margin, even though Baby's rebounding numbers are much worse than KG's, everyone else on the team's numbers went up because although BBD doesn't rebound at a high rate he creates rebounding opportunities by boxing out.

little bit worse

you may be on to something there, but the images most fresh in my  mins are the eones with d12 rebounding over BBD.
