Ford 7.0: Oubre, Martin and Upshaw to Celtics

[footey]

I could definitely get into those picks!!!

[35Lewis]

I could live with this draft as well.

I don't think Upshaw gets past Morey though at 32. 

Also...WCS falling to 11?!?  Not really sure that happens but there will be a few drops on draft day.

[Quetzalcoatl]

I was going to write that it's disappointing that Martin's 3pt% dropped from 33% to like 29% and I'm a little dubious he can guard SFs, but then I realized we'd be drafting him 28th and that is crazy.  I actually like a lot of the guys around there, really glad we are getting one of Martin, Hernangomez, Wood or RJ Hunter and Brad Stevens for Doc.  That's a great deal right there.

WOW that would be an epic draft night. Especially Oubre at 16...

[KG Living Legend]

Really? Oubre is one of my least favorite prospects, no handles, not a good passer.

Morey just had a really good experience with Royce "red flags" White right?

First round versus second round is a big difference with "red flags". He's been shown to gamble in the past and I think he would again.  If the man would risk a first on Royce White then why wouldn't he risk a second rounder?

Anything else to add besides sarcasm to all my posts?

I don't get the Martin love? Short in height and length for defending the 4, where he'd play, but not elite offensively either.

[KG Living Legend]

 The Love for Martin is he's played less than 100 organized basketball games in his life, he's almost Blake Griffin athletic, he explodes off the floor and does not need to gather to take off and jam it hardcore, I think he's an incredible talent he's quick enough to play some small forward but there are some buts about him, he's like Iverson shooting the ball no regard for human life.

for those without Insider, can anyone provide a quick list of who went where?

if WCS went at 11 as mentioned above, I'd be floored if the C's didn't move up and grab him if he slides that far.  11 shouldn't cost a king's ransom to acquire

TP for the info -- thanks

[I told you so]

Here's how you could beat out Morey in the second round: swap our 16 and 45 picks with Houston for their 18 and 31.  I would pick as follows:

18 (from Houston) Justin Anderson
28 (from Clippers) Jordan Mickey or Richaun Holmes
31 (from Houston) Robert Upshaw
33 Pat Connaughton

These picks all have size and athleticism for their positions, and with the exception of Upshaw, have high motors and play stout defense.  I personally don't think Upshaw will make it in the NBA, but perhaps a non-guaranteed contract would motivate him to clean up his act.

how is that any better than having Oubre? Why move from the third tier to the fourth tier, in order for us to draft the "crack head" in the draft. There is little or no chance for Upshaw to clean up his "hard drug" problem

I agree with KG Living Legend...I don't think he has what it takes.
