If the draft were today, some of the players that would be available to us would possibly be:
Ronnie Brewer - his stock has slipped a bit but still seems like an intriguing prospect especially because of his ability to run a team from the point guard spot. He reminds me of a poor man's Joe Johnson, and I was a big fan of his for his very short stint here.
(See my previous thread regarding him)
Shelden is still hovering around where we would pick.
Randy Foye and Mardy Collins are two other guards, but they are not true point guards and do not really fit into what the Celts would want to do I believe.
Rondo is still slipping down the early mock drafts, although I predict that he will be taken in the top 6-10 picks because right now he is the number one point guard available on most draft boards. Teams always need point guards.
Rodney Carney is a new name that if he slips to us Danny may snatch him up. He has been compared to Richard Jefferson because of his high-flying athletic ability. We have enough 2's and 3's but if Danny keeps the pick, he would be valuable off the bench.
Other bigs who could be available but it is too soon now to see exactly how high or low they might go. (March Madness is always a big indicator of how "big-time" these college players are)
Other possible selections: Tiago Splitter, Josh Boone, Hilton Armstrong, Paul Davis, Pittsnoggle.
