I stand corrected, you did say that. I wanted the Celtics to draft
Randolph, too - don't know why, just had a good feeling about him. But JJ
looks like he'll be very, very good, and Kedrick's upside is way up there
and, of course, ZR was gone by 21. But rather than bashing Wallace &  Co.
now, I guess I'll wait and criticize Wallace & Co. in hindsight (the
horror!) if ZR proves to be better than our first two picks.
