You guys all assume anyone we draft would actually get to play. No big we draft is going to move ahead of Perk, KG, Sheed, and BBD. I'm assuming Scal and Shelden will be gone, but if Shelden comes back, it's doubtful Doc would move a rookie ahead of him.
Damion Jones isn't a big
He's a small forward and I am convinced that if the Celtics draft him he will be Pierce's direct back up next year and be a good rotational player from the get go
In time,(couple, three years) he would become a starter, of that I have little doubt
My bad, I was focusing on the rebounding lean of the thread.
Regardless, it's difficult for me to believe given Doc's leanings now, that anyone we draft would see the light of day unless the person is a monster, or we are decimated by injuries.
I just don't see Danny blowing the team up, and since he won't, I would expect him to go FA, FA, FA as long as possible. Therefore anyone we draft will have a difficult time getting on the court.
I hope I'm completely wrong, but at this point, I just don't see it happening.
