2009 Celticsblog Draft: Voting Analysis : Team of the Future

[johnnyrondo]

we like Raja over Redd

I literally stopped reading after that.

Redd is hurt too much and doesn't play very good D. Raja is a better "fit" for a team that already has stars. Redd is overrated as was seen in the Olympics when his game should be at its best. On a championship contender, Redd is a good third scorer, IF HE IS HEALTHY.

Health is the only area in which Bell may be better than Redd.

Bell's reputation is that he's a very good defender.  Reality?  He's in steep decline on the defensive end. 

Maybe reputation is enough in a game based upon voting, but the reality of the situation is, Bell's best days are behind him, on both ends.

We have a better center, pf and shooting guard than Golden State. Our bench is also better. There bench is terrible. Right now, I thinks its Portland than Buffalo in the West.

I don't think 'Twan is better than Boozer. I also think Mehmo is the most criminally underrated player in the league. I agree you have him at the 2. I disagree on the battle of the benches. I like exactly one player on your bench, where as I like the back court combo of Tyreke and Eddie. I'm also a Danillo believer. But again, this was my opinion, thus my rankings. Quit your bellyahcing rebus, some of us have to sell our team as a team of the future.

I would concur with that.  A big part of the Shaq trade was specifically to match up with Buffalo.

Golden State is a good team, no doubt.  I just like Portland and Buffalo better.

I like Bell's defense over Redd's and the fact I can count on him to be healthy. Too each his own. I don't blame you for liking Redd. He's on your team and i think Ideally you want to package Jermaine and Redd for a stud big. You need to bill them up to do this.

So how do people feel about the Bruce Bowen move. Are you buying my "he will be my team's defensive sensai" idea? I think a little experience and leadership goes a long way.

He seems kinda out of place on your team, but he can't hurt.

I thought about Bowen, but then again I have 7 players only. lol.

I think it was a good pick.

[RebusRankin]

I like the Bowen move, he was my 10th round target.

Antwan is better than Boozer. GS's bench has no defense. Evans is an unproven rookie. Danillo's rookie season was a wash. Kapano is nothing but a shooter. Also Boozer, Magette, Deng and Danillo all have injury issues.

I'd mentioned before you were lacking a bit in leadership and tough players.  I really like the addition of Bowen (and Hayes, as well).

I thought about that..but then I also thought "who defends the Paul Pierces or Kobe's if Travis Outlaw isn't in there?"...Bruce Bowen will make him better, and he will make my 2nd and 3rd units less of a liability.

I think my team would have won the NBA title in this year's real NBA. I honestly do. i just keep staring at its well balanced and well rounded perfection.

What's that?

You shut up Darko! You'll play within yourself and you'll like it! I will send you to the Chinese Basketball League if you keep this up!!

Haha.  Funny.

Too young, my friend, too young.  Plus, in the real NBA, Big Al's ACL snapped like a twig.

I'd like to submit that big al's MCL snapped like the bow of a great redwood with abnormal healing powers.
