I am sorry, but I have to disagree with you...when I watch Jacque Vaughn, all 
I can see is Sherman Douglas.  Great penetrator, great passer, can't shoot a 
lick and too short to defend big PGs.  I hope the Celtics can do better.

Again, I disagree...both the Celtics' picks should end up in the top 
ten...Vaughn is simply not a top ten talent.

But there will be other players better who would make the team better with 
either one.
