I'am really curious. If any of you heard doc say there was 4 picks they were ready to choose from with the 30th pick. Of course doc cuz of nba political reason refrained himself from identifying who they were(such a teaser). Giddens i think was the 2nd guy or 3rd guy on their list and i think one or two were chosen before. (with that 4th guy probably mario chalmers(all about defense))

Anyone know who those two-three other guys that were on the shortlist?? my guess are courtney lee and serge sabaka , of course again both very good defenders

Giddens (obviously) then probably Bill Walker... Doc refused to give a name but he said there was still a chance they could get him. So there's the reasoning behind Walker. Then maybe Ajinca and then probably Lee.

Who knows though?

Doc mentioned that he had been hoping for Derrick Rose to slip. ;D

I think one of them was Batum, the other Lee.

Here's just a guess. But if Danny and the scouting staff had seen a bunch of Kansas games they were probably praying Darrel Arthur fell two more spots. That kid will be a hell of a player someday soon. Judging from whom they took I would be thinking athletes with potential. Serge Ibaka, Alexia Ajinca, Arthur, Donte Green, Giddens and Walker had to be people I think are the athletic, defensive oriented, "potential" players that the Celtics would have been looking at late.

i agree with those two. also wondering about Donte Green because didn't Doc say that they were still on the board at #24.....?

  Way to go. Now if Giddens turns out to be a star we'll all hear that Ainge was just lucky because he really wanted Rose at #30.
