I know what you mean about making ft's. But even if you do miss them your still putting someones but on the bench. Look at Lebron He missed way to many ft's in our series yet PP was in foul trouble a lot and had to pick spost with his aggression. Drawing contact matters!

Wroten is Nate Robinson's cousin, fyi.

In the spread out, hands off style of the NBA, Wroten will really shine.

He fits in with the Celtics in some ways. We'd have 48 minutes of crazy defense and awesome fast breaks with a Rondo, Bradley, and Wroten combination. Pedal to the metal.

Wroten could post up most PGs with great success, and most SGs too. He'll be one of the better rebounding guards in the league right off the bat, and he can get to the line as easily as DWade.

Just because teams will play off him, doesn't mean he's not getting to the hoop. Not by a longshot.

Rondo is great at getting to the rim and absorbing contact some games. I just don't think he is strong enough to do it all the time. Wroten can and loves to draw fouls every single game.

However, drafting Wroten would pretty much only make sense if the C's had bigs that can spread the floor and hit the open shots. Wroten, Rondo, and Bradley will be able to get to the hoop more easily, and all three are able to see and kick the ball out to the open man.

Jeff Green and Brandon Bass can pretty much play that stretch four role along with Garnett.

With Bass, Garnett, and Green capable of playing the four, drafting Nicholson may not make the most sense, though he would also thrive catching and shooting.

Wroten and White are both very, very talented, but I'm not sure their games complement each others very well. They both do many of the same things well: Rebounding, physicality, getting to the hoop and the ft line, great passing vision.

and the same things poorly: no outside shot, bad ft shooting, high turnovers. Rondo, Wroten, and White on the floor together at the same time would not be pretty.
I think that's my biggest concern with both Wroten and White--their FT shooting.  it's great if they can draw contact and get to the line but if they can't make their FT's it's a wasted offensive trip down the floor and rewards the opposition by not scoring any points.
