2011 CelticsBlog Draft Board

[Kwhit10]

Seeing as Gay, AI, and Wallace all went right after one another.

I may be open to trading the 3.1.

[ChampKind]

Well, I'll probably post this a few times before tomorrow opens up, but I'm at 3(12) and I'd like to move up 7-10 spots. I'm willing to more than make up that small gap with a later round pick for the inconvenience. If anyone wants to pick up some value by waiting a couple hours to make a selection, let me know.

Boozer is the Piece of Mind of Power Forwards.

[StartOrien]

BTW, for 1-2 combos, if you think they can stay healthy you gotta throw Bogut and Amare up there.

[RebusRankin]

My defense, his numbers dropped a bit in the regular season due to taking the second option role, injury (lowered his averages), and the emergence of Rose. He still put up 18 and 10. As for the play-offs, some was role, all the Bulls deferred to Rose, some was poor play but let's not forget he rebounded well despite some poor offensive games (something that's happened even to KG) and he did have some excellent scoring games versus both Atlanta and Miami.

If by that you mean "still underrated despite critical acclaim" or "solid from start to finish", then I must respectfully disagree.

If you mean "overproduced by Martin Birch", then you might have something there.

I meant underrated as in great album but not given proper recognition just like Carlos.

Where were you earlier? I was wondering what the Canadian equivalent to 311 was. Nickelback?

You didn't want to use a Bryan Adams album?

And he was playing through an injury during the playoffs which may have hurt his play also

Boozer's primary issues last year were injuries.  He was injured early, and was injured late.  It's no surprise, then, that his best months were in the middle of the season. 

Also, like I argued to no avail last year, Carlos Boozer is actually a decent defender at center.  That's why, career-wise, he's looked good even when matched up against Howard and Yao.  When he gets to muscle other players, he excels.  It's only when he plays against mobile power fowards that his defense becomes inferior.

A 20/10 guy who is capable of leading the league in FG% is pretty good value in the early second, in my mind.  Again, he's going to struggle on defense at PF, but so will Amare, Love, and a whole host of other guys taken before him.

So, Boozer would get owned by Bargnani?

In this shot, Monta and Deron are actually on the same team and Monta is trying to steal the ball back from Deron.
