BOSTON (NO. 7) 2005 first-round pick: Gerald Green Asked what he thought the Celtics were up to, one rival general manager said, ‘‘Who knows?’’ Danny Ainge has drafted well, and this represents his highest pick. If the Celtics draft for need, a point guard (Marcus Williams, Rajon Rondo) would seem logical. They might simply take the best player, regardless of position. Or Ainge might look at the draft and think he can get a decent player further down. Would he take Chris Duhon and the 16th pick from Chicago in exchange for No. 7? If he does, here’s another name to fi le away: Thabo Sefolosha.

The above post was sent too quickly. My elbow must have hit the enter key. I was unable to give attribution to Peter May of the Globe. www.boston.com/sports/basketball/articles/2006/06/25/a_line_on_the_draft_pick_em?mode=PFIf you get to the Globe's page, you should also read his article entitled: "Lean Years for Green," which is a remarkable "kiss and tell," revealing "who did what to whom," chronicling the demise of the once blessed franchise.

What's a Thabo Sefolosha?
In the english translation, it means, "tad bit selfish on the sofa".
Was that rumor about Duhon + the 16th made up? Or is that something that's possible?

No doubt. Is a marginal back-up point guard worth moving back 9 spots?

No doubt. Is a marginal back-up point guard worth moving back 9 spots? I'd say that duhon is more than a marginal back up. The Bulls played better with him in the line up and Gordon off the bench. He has a lot of game; a very good distributor, smart decent defender and while he doesn't need a lot of shots, can penetrate and will get very hot from the the three point line The Bulls pick at 16, probably would land us Sene. So, if we traded, say, Dickau (to make the salaries match) and the 7 pick for Duhon and Sene, I'd be ecstatic,
