2011 CelticsBlog Draft Board

[KCattheStripe]

Not a big Ryan Anderson guy, but he's a decent first big off the bench.

10.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and shoots 39% from three point line (in only 22 minutes a game)


I will take that as my third big man anytime.

Not a big fan of bigs that drift out past the free throw line for their primary offensive weapon, Dirk got substantially better when he started playing more at the free throw line,  and Anderson is not a tremendous defender. But as a bench weapon he's good.

And so the Kings round out their starting 5

Devin Harris 6'3" PG 15.2 PPG, 7.1 APG, 2.4 RPG, 1.0 SPG 32.2% 3PT, 83.3% FT%

Wesley Matthews 6'5" SG 15.9 PPG, 2.0 APG, 3.1 RPG, 1.2 SPG, 40.8% 3PT, 84.4% FT%

LeBron James 6'8" SF 26.7 PPG, 7.0 APG, 7.5 RPG, 1.5 SPG, 33% 3PT, 75.9 FT%

Paul Millsap 6'8" PF 17.3 PPG, 2.5 APG, 7.6 RPG, 1.4 SPG, 53.8 FG%, 75.7% FT%

Tyson Chandler 7'1" C 10.1 PPG, 0.4 APG, 9.4 RPG, 1.1 BPG, 65.4% FG%, 73.2 FT%

Yeah, that's pretty good, I guess, if you like rebounding and stuff.

Not sure how much I like LeBron and Harris together.

Good starting 5. Nicely done. No real stars besides LeBron, but capable role players and defensively oriented. I'm quite familiar. We call that the "Cleveland Steamer".

Reminds me so much of the Cavs from the last couple years.

Eh, that's the Cavs on steroids, hgh, and whatever designer drugs we're not aware of yet if you're gong to make that comparison.

Defense is not a strong point, I will agree.

But he played strong enough defense last year to be considered average in terms of team defense.

I think if Lebron had that level of talent in Cleveland, he probably would have won at least one, and probably two, titles.  Center and PG are arguably comparable in talent level, but I think the Fake Kings trump the Real Cavs at PF and especially SG by a wide margin.

comments/thoughts on my lineup

pg.nash
sg.kobe
sf.ariza
pf.hickson
c.kaman

Kobe and Nash alone could kill teams. Ariza can be the designated stopper and Kaman is solid if healthy. Hickson is solid too but a little inconsistent. This is a really good team.

what 'bout my team?

Rondo, Caron Butler, Gerald Wallace, Blatche and JO with Jamal Crawford as 6th man?

For where you were at two days ago. This is nice work. JO and his injuries worry me though. He will play next year at below 100% for sure with that wrist. He will miss games.

[StartOrien]

Front draft board has Landry going twice instead of Landry, Harris. BTW.

[StartOrien]

Riah, whe you get here I've 6.5 and a basket filled with tp's

Yeah, and that's where personal preference comes in. Not a huge fan of Anderson's game, but if you feel you need him then rock on!

[StartOrien]

Interesting that no teams are 'going young'

[indeedproceed]

what 'bout my team?

Rondo,
Caron Butler,
Gerald Wallace,
Blatche
JO

Jamal Crawford

I think Andray Blatche is a locker room cancer. He's brought nothing but trouble. He's talented and that keeps him employed, but he's poison to that Wizards team.

I like Rondo, Butler, and Wallace all as players individually, but they're your 3 best guys, and not a single one of them is a real leader.

What kind of team will this be, chemistry wise? How are tehy going to operate. You've got 1 crazy self-induldgent person, one pouter (Crawford), one extremely intelligent but EXTREMELY temperamental PG, and an aging center with one foot out the league. And Gerald Wallace, who pees his pants and forgets who he is for 5 minutes everytime someone turns on a microwave.

You team is very talented, but a team is more than just talent soup let to simmer, and I don't see how yours works yet.  

[RebusRankin]

All right, rip away

San Antonio Spurs:
PG: Russell Westbrook
SG: Arron Affalo
SF: Dorrell Wright
PF: Carlos Boozer
C:  Demarcus Cousins

That's the risk I took for Blatche. He's still a 16 and 8 guy and with Rondo passing the rock really good, he'll get some shots. Question is his maturity but he's young, he can set his things straight.

Rondo will be the leader of this team. If he can have the trust of three veteran all stars he can get the trust of Caron and Crash and JO and at some point Jamal.

I need a backup for JO no question, but he's still a solid 20-25 minute guy.

Jamal will be nothing but a go to scorer when needed be.

As for Crash and Caron, i have nothing to say but great basketball players.
