Confused By Danny's Picks

[PosImpos]

Willie Warren and Stanley Robinson were still on the board at 52 and Danny took Luke Harangody?  Really?  Two players projected to go as high as late first round and Danny took a guy who some thought might not be drafted at all?  A fat, undersized white PF?

Ugh...gonna need somebody to explain the reasoning behind both of the Celtics' picks for me.  I really just don't get it.

Danny is surrounded by NBA scouts with a year-round scouting department and we're fans on an internet board speculating?

Still, I have to believe that once you get down to pick 50 or so all the remaining guys are relatively similar in terms of risk / reward.  Why take a guy who we clearly don't need and who probably won't play over guys who may very well be useless but who have athleticism and potential?

I guess I'm just shocked by how far Stanley Robinson fell.  What is so wrong with him?  I had seen him compared to Gerald Wallace, and he ends up going 58?

I'm not high on the Bradley pick, either.  We're going to be desperate for big bodies this season.  I know picking big guys past the lottery is a shot in the dark at best, but it has to be better than picking up a "talented" combo guard who can't shoot and will probably play 10 minutes a night at most.

Sorry, I'll just substitute "non-athletic" from now on.

Well, just because those guys have jobs don't mean they have a clue...

You're not winning yourself many points with the oh-so-clever stereotypes.  Comment on a player's game, not his skin color.  Period.

Bill Walker is still in the league and helped us get Nate Robinson.  Giddens flamed out and he was the 30th pick.

This is the NBA.  9 times out of 10, 2nd rounders are going to do squat nor see the light of day in the NBA.  That's the nature of the league.

Glen Davis, Ryan Gomes, Leon Powe were all 2nd rounders that worked out pretty well for Ainge.  I'd have to say his late round track record is a lot better than most GMs out there.

If here were another skin-tone, I'd still call him unathletic.  The dude is built like a keg of beer.

I'm not trying to be a smart-ass or anything, but I see Luke Harangody as a [censored] Glen Davis.
