2011 CelticsBlog Draft Board

[Evantime34]

Chandler was 1 of 3 guys i was looking at here... here's another:

Andrei Kirilenko

The big question for me is, is he going to sign in Europe before the end of voting, and will he have an opt out?

That's your biggest question, but not your only one. I know you could go on for days questioning his game.

I wish you could have talked to GC before he picked him.

[Who]

I'd really like Kirilenko to move to a team that will play him at his position (undersized PF) this off-season.

He has really hurt his career by staying in Utah and being used to poor effect.

[Roy H.]

The Celtics select Jrue Holiday

I like that pick very much.

Sure, this year. 

Ha.  I've always liked Jrue's potential, which is why the CrotoNats "reached" for him his rookie year.  I just wasn't sure about how your team fit together last year, and I still think any team relying heavily on DeMarcus Cousins is going to struggle mightily, at least in the short term.

And maybe in the long term if he doesn't cool it and learn how play the game in a more controlled manner.

Haha.  I'm not a huge AK47 fan, although he's worth a late 4th rounder, probably.  But yes, other reasons I don't like him:  He's mentally weak, he clashes with coaches and teammates (and his owner, I believe), he complains about touches, he broke down crying after a playoff game, and he's always the first guy out of the gym.

I like that pick, but are Rondo and Crash your only players otherwise, or did I miss something?

Just wondering because I don't know but what's the word on Butler's injury?

CARON BUTLER

I guess I'm a little confused.  Didn't you trade Rudy Gay (a SF coming off an injury) because you wanted Gerald Wallace to play SF?  And then you replaced Gay with...  a lesser SF coming off an injury?  

I understand why you like Butler, I just don't understand it in conjunction with the Gay trade.

I think he was almost ready to play again by the time the Finals happened. Not quite there but almost.

So Caron should have a full summer to get back into top shape before next season.

CARON BUTLER

I thought him or AK47 would be available when I picked 5th next round.
Would you consider trading him?

There was a rumor about him coming back for the playoffs. Apparently he was dunking again in June. I think it's a safe bet to pencil him in as healthy for the start of the season.

And Roy Hobbs isn't gonna let some pesky restraining order or trespassing violation keep him from learning the truth. THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT HOW MEDIOCRE ANDREI KIRELINKO IS!!!

Sadly, I think it's going to be longer than a full summer before next season.
