Press Conference Schedule is Up! 2010 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Board

The thing about noah too is that he's young enough so that he could theoretically develop a little more of an offensive game. See: Kendrick Perkins, 9/2009-1/2010.

I don't know what happened as the season went on, but he looked good early.

I tought monta this late was a steal? nobody else?

[Kwhit10]

Nice pick Kcat.  I definitely would of liked to have noah.

Never liked Monta as a player. Some players are just destined to put up big numbers on bad teams. Monta Ellis seems like one of those guys.

[Lucky17]

I like the pick, although I wonder how Noah's plantar fasciitis will be this season.

I love both the last picks. Monta Ellis can flat out score, while he isn't that great of a passer or defender he averaged 25 ppg. I feel that you're not going to get a lot of love for that pick as evidenced by the anti Monta sentiment when it was rumored we were trading for him.

Noah is a great defensive player and rebounder. Those were the top two guys on my board.

Since PGs are for some reason going so early, I'm taking Chauncey Billups.

That's kind of my take, too.  You can't say anything about his talent, but he's a guy who doesn't seem to make his teams better.  Sort of like a Stephon Marbury.

Of course, under Don Nelson, maybe he's just not in a position to succeed.  It's hard for me to make a definitive judgment without seeing how he'd do for a real organization.

We have two separate trades to announce:

Trade 1:
Minnesota (Evantime34)send 2.20, 5.20 and 12.11
to
Charlotte (Kcatthestripe) for 3.8, 3.29 and cash considerations (5 tps)


Trade 2:
Washington (Nickagneta) sends: 3.5, 3.22, 5.11, 7.11, 13.5
for
Portland (Jsaad): 2.21, 4.10, 5.22, 7.21, 12.10

Two very interested trades to compare to each other.

should these picks be 3.22 and 5.21,7.21 respectively? (i very well may have missed a diff. trade that resulted in them... just tyring to help).

Boxers send 3.5 3.22, 5.11, 7.11, 13.5

Blazers send 2.21, 4.10, 5.21, 7.21, 12.10

That is our correct trade

He's a terror to guard. Anytime you can add a 25 ppg scorer in the middle of the second round it's worth writing home about.

That said I had...

Since PGs are for some reason going so early, I'm taking Chauncey Billups.

... Billups rated as the BPA for awhile now. Great, great value. Not sure how to explain his slide, except that he's just taken for granted at this point.

Agree somewhat with what IP's saying.  I like him, but don't love him.

Great pickup. Can't go wrong with Chauncey at the helm.

Yup, when somebody (Roy?) mentioned that there was nobody available who could be the 2nd best player on a championship team worth trading up for, Chauncey is the 1 guy that came to my mind as a counterexample.  There's arguably still one available.

Billups in the mid 2nd is among the very best value in the draft so far IMO.

I like a Bosh/Ellis combo more than most guys Ellis has been paired with in past CBDs.
