Finally some athleticism.

Joseph is OK

Machado may go undrafted.

Kris Joseph another 2nd round gem? Danny Ainge has good reputation finding NBA players in 2nd round

it will be interesting to see whom ainge invites to camp.

but all in all, in danny i trust. i dont like the melo choice, but i trust that danny may see something i dont.

sullinger was a no-brainer. ainge swung for the fences...at least as best you can at #21. if the back issue is not serious, sullinger is a real talent. he ranked something like #9 or so before his back trouble was known. he might pan out to be a good pf.

joseph? meh...why not? he seems a nice, safe, unexciting pick. and at #51 that is fine.

good night everyone.

Finally, Mr. Irrelevant!  LA is praying they can find an Isaiah Thomas(Kings).

Poor Kevin Jones and Drew Gordon. They should both be draft picks.

joseph has 6'11 wingspan could be a work in progress

Let's hope not, he's a 23 year old senior.

Meanwhile, Spurs may just have done it again, with the 59th pick, Marcus Denmon.

Was Gordon in Newark as well?

Poor Jones indeed, waiting in the stands through 60 picks only to go undrafted. Here's hoping he can catch on as a F.A.

I am absolutely delighted with the draft.

Sullinger is a fantastic get. I think he'll love playing alongside Rondo and Garnett next season and be incredibly productive (for a fourth/fifth option guy). I could see him either being the starting PF or the sixth man. Very excited about his addition.

Not sure what to make of Fab Melo. I liked what I heard about him initially but I have read so many differing reports on him on this site that I am no longer certain what he is. Another Stiemsma type? Or a Perk-like project?

I don't give a [dang] about the late second round pick. Meaningless.

Absolutely delighted with Sullinger. Terrific day's work.
