2011 CelticsBlog Draft Board

[Gainesville Celtic]

Alright, so with extreme apologies to wdleehi, his trade partner, the CB Draft, and my community, I will take this opportunity to prove to you that I am responsible enough to make a draft pick without destroying the core process of the game we have come to know and love. My fellow Americans, I have let you down, and I have destroyed the trust that you have in me. My hope, my dream, is that we can rebuild that trust. That you can once again count on me, City Alderman ChampKind, in times of need during your fantasy draft. That I can be the fantasy GM that this blog not only needs, but deserves.

Thank you. Good night, and good luck.

That said,

I need an insurance policy for DeAndre Jordan, and a resident old man to battle Edgar's frontcourt on the nursing home courts, so I'll take a guy who can rebound, defend, and block shots without needing the ball on offense:

5(10): Marcus Camby

This.

This right here is why if I was stranded on a desert island and could only fake draft with one GM, ChampKind is right at the top of my list.

[Who]

7 of the first 11 picks in the 5th round where for 6th men - B.Gordon, J.Crawford, M.Camby, T.Gibson, JR Smith, K.Humphries, D.DeRozan

[Yoki_IsTheName]

actually I have my pick.

with the 12th pick in the 5th round of the 2011 CB Draft, the Atlanta Army Ants select a guy who can be immature but none the less solid.

AnDRAY BLATCHE

Nice, this is the guy I thought would be a good fit for your team. A headcase for sure, but you need frontcourt talent in a big way and he's got the most sheer ability of any big man left.

yeah, only thing is he's a nut. but he's solid. can score and rebound. a little slow on defense but not a liability. i like this pick. The Rudy Gay mishap isn't looking that bad after all. Well, it still is but no so bad now.

Awful.



Blatche is a player you want to keep away from your team.  


For all the good the defense of Rondo and Wallace does, Blatche will give it all back.  

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Im still shopping my 5.14 for an early 6th. We could work the deal in PM. Just let me know.

You are kidding right?


This is the guy that admitted he was soft on the radio.

This is the guy that never goes within 15 feet of the basket if the other team has a shot blocker.

This is the guy that wouldn't go back in the game because he refused to listen to his coach and play defense.

For all the good the defense of Rondo and Wallace does, Blatche will give it all back.  

But he's a post presence and something that I really think I need for this team to be effective.

I still have a spot for a C. I just need to choose a defensive minded one to help him out. And there's quite a few more out there.

And he's not that bad on D. Not really good either but not terrible. I'd take that chance along with his 16ppg and 8 rpg and his inside presence.

He is not an inside presence. 


He is a jump shooting big man.  He likes to shoot from one spot (as a colleague with Wiz season tickets tells me as he watches him shoot from that one spot and only that one spot during warmups)


When asked on the radio if he would go in the post to score more often if it would help the team win, his answer, only if defender jumped on pump fakes more.




And there is no defense.

still looking to move 5.24 if anyone is interested.

im alright with the no defense. i believe there is but i concede. on the other hand he's still averaging close to 2 blocks a game (1.5 actually) and he can score, albeit jump shots and can rebound and is big. I think he fits.

I have zero problem with Blatche at this point in the draft

He is one of those guys I will never draft because he hurts your team. 



Between the non-defense
The being suspended by coaches for refusing to listen and then making a big deal of going to AC to celebrate his suspension.

Alright, so with extreme apologies to wdleehi, his trade partner, the CB Draft, and my community, I will take this opportunity to prove to you that I am responsible enough to make a draft pick without destroying the core process of the game we have come to know and love. My fellow Americans, I have let you down, and I have destroyed the trust that you have in me. My hope, my dream, is that we can rebuild that trust. That you can once again count on me, City Alderman ChampKind, in times of need during your fantasy draft. That I can be the fantasy GM that this blog not only needs, but deserves.

Thank you. Good night, and good luck.

That said,

I need an insurance policy for DeAndre Jordan, and a resident old man to battle Edgar's frontcourt on the nursing home courts, so I'll take a guy who can rebound, defend, and block shots without needing the ball on offense:

5(10): Marcus Camby

This.

This right here is why if I was stranded on a desert island and could only fake draft with one GM, ChampKind is right at the top of my list.

I'm never speaking to you again.
