I was jumping up and down with joy like an ugly schoolgirl who just got a date for the prom when sully got selected. Wasn't up or down on melo. I still think melo was the right guy to take a chance on at the time, not that he has turned out well, but the draft is in itself a lottery, and based on the flashes of potential he showed in college, him only starting to play 6 years ago or so, and his size, he was worth a shot.

I thought Drummond was really risky because of his apparent lack of motivation. I knew Sully was going to be better than Thomas Robinson - his college numbers showed this; knew Austin Rivers wasn't going to be good; thought Royce White wasn't very good, AND too risky with an anxiety disorder;  didn't have a clue who Fournier was; and was pretty much spot on about everyone else... All in all the only thing that's changed is my appreciation of Drummond and Fournier.

Fournier also. I was a big proponent of Fournier

Think alot of Celtics fans thought Fab Melo pick was a mistake and I knew it was, but being pick in the 20's guess Ainge thought it wouldn't hurt to take a chance on him.
