fair enough. i don't think he'll be that bad though. probably a good idea to draft young, like you said. whoever they get isn't gonna get off the pine for 2-3 years anyway. by that time, rush will be like 30.
If they're taking a flyer on anyone I'd prefer it to be Jamont Gordon or even Billy Walker, but ultimately I'd prefer that they trade the pick.

Well realistically Davis and Powe play the same spot, we could package either with the 30 for something decent... obviously the value would vary depending on which one of them you use
I would like to package our pick and someone else like Big Baby or Tony Allen or Gabe Pruitt for Roy Hibbert. Honestly, I wish we could just trade for Zydrunas Ilgauskas. He would be an awesome player for us. KG is an awesome rebounder, but having a 7-footer on the court with him would make the Cs even more amazing at team rebounding.
Bill walker was a very surprising player to me. I was surprised in a good way about his basketball IQ which I thought was fairly high and his willingness to pass and dexterous post feeds but I was disappointed with his slashing ability. Maybe it was just him recovering from the ACL surgery but he was mostly a spot up three point shooter and when he tried to drive to the basket he looked lethargic in the air. Body-wise, the guy is very impressive, one of the rare guys in college who fit the prototypical SF profile, 6'6-6'7, with wide shoulders and long arms. From my tv set, I thought he looked like a slightly slimmer Jason Maxiell, which in a guy who can guard the swing position in the nba is a good thing.
With his struggles creating off the dribble, I can't see Walker ever developing into a star but he looks like he's got a good basketball head on his shoulders so I can see him developing into a solid role player who could potentially be a good defender.
I'd like to see the Celtics take another offensive minded player to add to the bench. The current bench is filled with hustle players (Posey, Powe, Big Baby) but we lack a player who can fill it up. And no, Sam Cassal doesn't count.
I really want Jawai.. huge body, great upside.. i dont think the U.S scouting sites (or scouts for that matter) have really seen enough of him, he'll be a long term player in the league and would help us right away IMO
After seeing footage of Billy Walker at Grover's I'm putting him at the top of the wish list. He's moving much better now than he was a few months ago. He has legitimate top 10 talent when healthy and can spend the year interning under Ray and Paul. He'd be a great replacement for Clownshoes.

Please not, I want him to go somewhere where he will get playing time and the Celtics are stacked enough.
He'll get playing time and we're not yet stacked enough.
