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

[Fafnir]

With the run on Cs that started a long time ago I can't believe that Lopez lasted this long.

[Donoghus]

Size will not be a problem for Utah.

[Gainesville Celtic]

Utah Jazz select: Robin Lopez

OHhhhhhh. Very nice pick. He's a great first big to have off of your bench too.

agreed... thought about him too.

JGod on the clock till 10:50 with his 2nd 6th rounder..... (soon to become essentially 7th rounders  )

[JSD]

Rebus, you can pick anytime now.

[RebusRankin]

Memphis selects DeAndre Jordan

[JSD]

With the 19th pick of 6th round, the Portland Trailblazers select: Goran Dragic


After seeing him the 2010 playoffs, I believe he has what it takes to be a starter right now on a team like the current Trailblazers.

That crossover spin was one of the best plays in the playoffs:

Portland Trailblazers:

C- Brook Lopez
PF - Derrick Favors
SF - Thaddeus Young
SG - Evan Turner
PG - Goran Dragic


Spencer Hawes and Ricky Rubio (rights).

The commish will be away from his computer for a bit. Just an FYI

[Roy H.]

He's not the first point guard I would have taken, but Dragic did show some nice potential.  I'd be wary of him talking recently about going back to Europe, though.

I like Dragic though wouldn't have picked him here. He did clarify his statment today though

"This news is not correct, because I made a statement that I want to end my basketball career in Europe. So this is a big misunderstanding of the Greek (journalist)," Dragic wrote in an e-mail to Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic.

"In this moment I'm very happy in the NBA and I'm not going to Europe! I am a member of the Phoenix Suns, and my desire is to stay in Phoenix for many years!"

Goran Dragic is a very nice pick. Best PG available.

[Lucky17]

Clarification on the big board: I do not own the 6/23. I traded that pick; I forget who has it.

I will be picking at 6/25, however, in less than a half-hour.

There are a handful of guys I like better, a couple for the future and a couple for right now.

[action781]

Lots of good picks made this round guys.  I'll be in the chatroom if anybody wants to chat.  I'm interested in possibly moving up from 7.1 and hearing some opinions on a player I might draft and how he'd fit into my team.

[Gainesville Celtic]

with the 20th pick of the 6th round, the Denver Nuggets select lockdown defender


Ronnie Brewer

Clarification on the big board: I do not own the 6/23. I traded that pick; I forget who has it.

I will be picking at 6/25, however, in less than a half-hour.

It's the last of my four 6th rounders  

[Roy H.]

I'd encourage everyone to try to get their coaches picks in fairly expeditiously.  There are no time limits right now, but if it looks like we won't finish before the end of the week, we'll have to put some rules in.
