With Ainge, always.
like you'd have done any better than Ainge  ::)

his track record is pretty solid for where's he's picked in the draft.  he's had a few, and only a few, duds where he should have had a better player that he had passed on.

Giddens is obvious.  JJJ only because they were linked to Parsons who ended up with Houston.  Who else?  Melo, maybe.  I'll call him a bust (gladly) in 2 years if he can't crack the rotation.

Gerald Green?  please.  that was a top-5 projection that slid to 18.  I, and most people, wouldn't fault a GM for taking that shot.  paid off in that case for Sully.

Drafting is the one thing Ainge has been consistently good at.  throw some substance behind your comments to back it up for a change

Well, ole GG didn't last much longer in the league than JJJ did...

  JJ played in 36 games, Green's played in over 270 and counting.

Let's be honest about GG - he was out of the league playing in Siberia or whatever. 

Now he seems to be a min-contract roster filler.

Yippee!

I'm hoping that Danny finds a way to get into the second round.  Seems to be better drafting there than in the first.

Danny seems....With the exception of Sullinger...To try to hit home runs in the first round...In the second...He seems to look more for people who can play now.

Every draft has tons such players and every team is afraid of picking such players, but it will happen. There is a lot of guessing in drafting.

He was a high risk, high reward guy.
