Chris Lofton out of Tennessee. He can flat out shoot. He also played the entire year recovering from testicular cancer without anyone knowing. Lofton would be solid.

Re: Official Boston Celtics Draft Thread
Yeah I believe so. He didn't play to his ability this past year and no one could figure out what was wrong with him.
Here's some videos of him from YouTube.

Re: Official Boston Celtics Draft Thread
ok celebrate the championship, great for us. Now, it's time to get serious about the draft. Other teams have been focusing on this for a while now, it's our turn, with it being just over a week away. Any updated thoughts.
If Mario Chalmers slips to us, I'd love to see it happen. Im not sure he has the ballhandling skills we need though, either. He may play too similar of a role as Eddie House.
If a talented PG can't be found, I say we look at a big man, considering there is a good chance PJ won't be returning to the league. DeVon Hardin maybe? He's not going to offer much offensively, but I don't think we need much. He is a big body that will play defense for us and fill up space on the inside. I think he could be a good fit.

Re: Official Boston Celtics Draft Thread
I still want Jawai..
look at the success guys like Powe and Baby have had playing on this team, undersized and a lot of times out of position.. Nathan is a huge dude, a true 5 and would rebound, defend and finish well enough to get court time next season, we need a/some back up centers from somewhere

I have read quite a few good things about him. I have never seen him play, though, obviously. International players always throw me off

Re: Official Boston Celtics Draft Thread
Well he may go just before us at 25-29, but i have seen him play and he is most definately an nba player, not a star but someone who could be big and physical, while contributing.. much like perk really but with softer hands and maybe slightly less developed

Re: Official Boston Celtics Draft Thread
Joey Dorsey if he's there. You can never have too many rebounders.

I'm with you on Chalmers. His ball handling is a problem only when he tries to dribble in transition through a crowd... meaning that he needs to get out ahead on the break and have someone outlet the ball to him. He can dribble well in the half court set or on an open break. I would love to see him play on the same team as Kevin Love but it doesn't look likely.

Re: Official Boston Celtics Draft Thread
there's no way Bill Walker will slip to number 30. With his physical tools, someone will take a gamble on him somewhere in the 20's maybe even in the 15-20 range.
looking at the roster they have:
pg- Rondo/Pruitt/Casell
sg- Ray Allen/ House
sf- Paul Peirce/Posey
pf- KG/ Powe/ Davis
C- Perkins/
I think Casell will re-sign and House will too. Danny Ainge will probably do everything in his power to re-sign Posey even if it means signign him for the MLE, PJ Brown will retire.
I would like to see someone like Jamont Gordon...and hopefully sign a FA backup centre.
actually I wanna see Allan Ray in a celtics jersey again....
