Try doing the same list for other GMs and I'll thank you later.

Where's Glen Davis, Olynyk and Perk, and how on Earth is E'Twaun Moore a miss at #55 when he's going into his 8th season and making $9 million a year?

try to place these within the context of other GMs in the nba. what percentage of players from each part of the draft make it to the nba as bench, starter, star players? then compare ainge's picks from the same range.

when ever that is done, ainge does pretty well.

You left out Leon Powe as a hit

Troy Bell needs to be removed.  He never played a game for us and was a selection made for the grizzlies as part of a trade.

Danny is much better than he used to be.

Gabe Pruitt and JR Giddens are the two that killed me.

Marshon Brooks, Randy Foye, Dahntay Jones were all part of draft day trades and were selected for other teams as well.

Also whats your definition of success for a 2nd round pick?  Lots of people would say that if a late second round pick makes the roster and plays meaningful minutes in games, especially if your team is contending, thats a success.

Semih Erden had a short NBA career, but he was picked at #60 and came off the bench and contributed for us as a back up center in a year that we were contending.  I would consider that a success, and you can make this same argument for some of the other players on that Miss list

Etwaun Moore should not be on the Miss list

yeah but on draft day trades more often than not the GM selecting the player is making that pick for the other team

shows how much thought went into this list

You really Hol against him , that he had a lot of "misses" late in the first and in the second round?  ::)

Late firsts and second rounders are misses most of the time...

Besides Sully and Etwaun are no "misses"...
