Good for KO. 

Now time to build off it.

Nice job by Olynyk.  Never would've predicted it in January.

1st game vs 2nd team would be a pretty entertaining game for such a terrible draft.  I feel like 2nd team would probably take it, too.

1st team:  2nd, 9th, 11th, 22nd, and 24th picks.

2nd team: 4th, 12th, 13th, 15th, and 21st picks.

I don't think that draft is worth trying to make any kind of sense out of.  We won't see anything again like that for a long time

What?  You don't think a draft where a chubby guy, stuck between PF and SF who has asthma and sleep apnea, goes number 1 is a respectable draft?   ;D

Pretty much. 

I think history will look back at 2013 the same way we look back at 2000.  Bad.

It should be mentioned that Phil Pressey received more All-Rookie votes than Bennet (#1), Len (#5), McCollum #10), and Muhammad (#14). That?s Danny Ainge for you.

  The 2012 team was hardly better.

It would be nice if they paid some attention to positions when putting together these teams.

Long term, I'd take KO and Plumlee over the ROY.  Awful draft made even worse by the Cavs #1 cluster pick.

KO was 6th in the voting, so I think he got some extra credit for his late season surge. Hopefully a harbinger of things to come.

If he hits the weight room, I think he'll be a valuable big coming off the bench.

Wow this is kind of eye opening. Olynyk recieved the highest amount of votes on the second team and the people who vote are sportswriters all throughout the US and Canada. Did the Celtics really have the 6th best rookie of the class?

Could we be underrating Olynyk? I think this could be the first time Celticsblog has ever underrated one of their own players.

Not me. No one can accuse me of underrating KO.  :D

His last couple of months of the season were probably the best couple of months that any of the rookies had. Averaging it out for the year, I think 6th is probably about right. But that upward trajectory is very promising.
