Tony Parker Biggest Draft Mistake in Celts History.

[vjcsmoke]

It wasn't a mistake not drafting Parker at 10 or 11; nobody had him going nearly that high.

The Joe Forte was a pretty bad pick, though.  Just about every mock draft had the Celtics taking Parker or Jamaal Tinsley, and we ended up with Forte.

Utilizing the 11th pick at all that year was a bad mistake, as we had the option of rolling the pick over to the next draft (when we could have had Carmelo).  Instead, the team fell in love with Kedrick Brown.  Even if the Celtics had gone with conventional wisdom they would have ended up with Troy Murphy, which wouldn't have been so bad.

That draft ruined the Celtics for the next 5-10 years.  Every single pick was awful except for Joe Johnson who we ended up trading for a bucket of golf balls anyway (Rodney Rogers).  That draft is why the Celtics had to make a move to change their front office.

Well enough of lamenting the past.  Can't change history.  We should have had Parker but we didn't get him.  Oh well. 

What are we going to do in THIS OFFSEASON to improve the team?
