Re: consensus on draftees
I'm not the most knowledgable about prospects either, but I like Pavlovic at
16 as well. (One mock draft had Jersey taking him and I am praying that that
doesn't happen). I'm not sure at 20 but definately a big man. FWIW, I think
both Kansas guys have bust written all over them.

There is some talk about the ill-fated '01 draft and the idea that the list
had a "sort-of consensus" about several players that the Celts should take.
Those included Jefferson and to a lesser extent, Radmanovic, Murphy,
Tinsley. Most thought Johnson would be good if he fell to us and likewise
Battier. Almost all (whatever their feelings about Forte) thought we had
enough swing men before our third pick. So, I would like for us to suggest
our best picks (for #16 and #20) as the month unfolds and I will try to
sort out who we prefer for posterity. Of course, James and Anthony and
Ford are not realistic, but the foreign players plus the top rated late
lottery possibilities and after that should be considered. Someone like
Sweetney or Hayes or Wade or ?? will fall. Plus, suggest those we might
pick up if we regain a second round pick.
So, here's my short list of possibilities (and I have not followed this
like WayRay or others): any of the foreign corps like Lampe, Pietrus,
Pavlovic and Barbosa, then Hayes and Collison, and West at #20 if we're
delighted with our #16 pick and think a banger/rebounder could help our
second team--heck, he's probably better than EWill right now. Still, I
long for Steve Blake and will forever utter his excellence--until he proves
he can't make anyone's squad and heads off to Europe. Maybe if he
disguised himself as Steveya Blakovic and returned as a star from the
Ukranian national team? Cheers, Gene
