Good pick Mass. However I wanted to know what you think about KG's mileage and perhaps Perkins chooses to go elsewhere since he is a free agent next year. What do you think you would do with the frontline if both of them were gone for 2011-2012? Just curious
I think if, in the real draft, someone like Aldrich, Udoh, Whiteside, Davis, or maybe even Orton dropped, Celtics would consider drafting a big, but with the bigs I saw left on this mock draft, I just think Anderson would be a better pickup.
Ive watched a ton of Celtics games this past year, and all of the playoffs. Im pretty convinced KG is just about done, The Perkins injury looks bad, and Sheed doesnt want to play during the regular season. So yes, the lack of regular season big men are a concern. I do think there are a LOAD of really good big man prospects to be had in the second round though, and can see them picking up someone like Pittman, Garcia, Samhan .. who knows, a ton of options there.
For the 2011-2012 season, I would guess they go big in the 2011 draft if they get a guard this year, so im not to worried about getting a young big man. They should be drafting higher next season anyways, and I think Anderson is a good value pickup at 19. I just think he fits what there doing, and if Allen leaves Anderson should be able to help even more.
