2011 CelticsBlog Draft Board

[Kane3387]

The Celtics:

PG: Jrue Holiday
SG: Eric Gordon
SF: Luol Deng
PF: Greg Monroe
C: Tim Duncan

Bench: Taj Gibson

Who is your go to guy in crunch time? Tim Duncan hasn't been that guy for the last couple of years. It's been Manu and TP making the decisions. Is Eric Gordon that guy yet? Dont think so. Lot of youth and athleticism. Don't see how Duncan fits with this team.

Hinrich and Miller were both fantastic picks, and I hope Rondo2287 just cried a little.

Miller would have been a better fit then Harris but Hinrich by far would have been the best fit for the Kings. It's not even close. Come to think of it there are few better fits then Hinrich overall that aren't superstars.

I was hoping that one of the three would be there for me at 6.2. Wishful thinking, I guess.

There's still a pretty good one with all-star potential.

You aren't asking for enough. You are just drafting quality players to trade them for lower picks and less quality players over and over again.

Try trading your players for other players that are, at the very least traded within 20 or so picks of each other. Or try drafting better players to put around them.

No this, if people think your team is good, they might say so but will say something negative. If people think you are their direct competition, they might say something nice but more than likely will just focus on the negative of your team. If they hate your team, they might say something nice but will more than likely focus on the negative of your team.

Basically, if your team is good or bad, expect a negative reaction because most people commenting on your team are in competition with your team and want to make it look bad.

Lesson learned? Have a strategy, make a team you like, and don't listen to people. After playing this year and paying attention on the blog you will get to know the people who play this draft and what they think is good basketball and maybe you will change the way you draft, you view players or just learn more about the game and the next time you play you will be better.

In the mean time, build YOUR team. Have fun doing it. Like it in the end and the heck what anyone else says about it. Remember this and you will have more fun and get better and better at this game.

You can't win the CB Draft in the first day or two. Most of the time you can't win it in the first week. Sometimes it comes down to how much you love your team, know about the players on your team, can talk intelligently about them and how you defend them that wins you this draft and sometimes that doesn't happen until the playoffs in the 3rd and 4th weeks of the draft.

Patience. Knowledge of the players. Knowledge of your competition and the art of the deal is what will win this game.
