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

[WeMadeIt17]

We the San Antonio Spurs think Serge is a force to reckon with on Defense. He is a big shot blocker and well help on the boards. Him along with Artest will be tough to handle on D. So Today we would like to intoduce our newest spurs Devin Harris and Serge Ibaka! OH YEAH HI HATERS!

[The Walker Wiggle]

Utah has 4 players who can all shoot and are excelent offensive players, so grabbing a defensively versatile and limited (but low usage also) Mbah a Moute makes sense. Especially when he's unlikely to fall a full 30 slots till Utah's next pick.

He's also been far more effective at the 4 than the 3 for Milwaukee.

I like Ibaka, but I don't see right now how your team is going to work.

Right now you have one playmaker in Chris Bosh and he's not an elite one by any means. Devin Harris is a limited creator at the PG position, and you don't want Ron Artest handling the ball. You need to find a good guard to pair with Harris at this point and I'm not sure how many who fit your needs are left.

Great glue guy defensively as a power forward.

Brilliant stopper and good rebounder as a wing but his offensive game detracts a good dose of those positives. A lot like Tony Allen's did in the playoffs. Two fairly similar players in that regard.

Mbah a Moute's offensive game is easier to hide as a power forward.

[Donoghus]

Defensively, Mbah a Moute will be more than fine at the 3.

Offensively? Its pretty negligble.  I'm not asking him to do squat offensively when you consider who's around him.

That's because the Bucks are an already offensively challenged squad, they do much better if Mbah a Moute is at the 4 so they can play a shooter/scorer at the 3 position. Better to be undersized than have too many non-scorers out there, especially since Mbah a Moute is a very flexible defender.

I don't think Utah will have a problem offensively with Mbah a Moute at the 3. Meanwhile his rebounding is stronger relatively there and his defense is still very good.

By mentioning a retired player?

What are you talking about faf.  He has great situational awareness with the ball in his hands

True. Although I believe there may have been similar types of player available on the board who are "truer" SFs.

LRMAM can play PF though, alongside Gasol when Yao needs a breather, for instance. So the flexibility is nice.

But I LOVE Ibaka! How could you not after his coming out party in the Lakers/Thunder series

And Who is right to note his solid short jumper.

The Supersonics pick : Courtney lee

Good pick. Was hoping he'd slip to me at 6.4

Nice.

Mgent and Rondo2287 missed their picks (unless someone else holds the 18th and 19th).
