Didn't Ainge warn us not to expect him to tell us who he was going to draft when he took the job?  If so, you'd never know it from the deluge of posts lately to the contrary.

I really don't like the idea of us guaranteeing players selection at a
certain positions and then it somehow being announced. What other team
stupid enough to do this? We also have seen pretty much zero impact from the
last one we did this on.


If we take Banks at 16 he better be closer to Baron Davis than Sherman
Douglas especially if we lose out on Pavlovic,Hayes, Lampe,Gaines. I am
still for going after a proven point like Cassell and then adding some 2/3
scorers or inside help like Sofoklis, West, Sweetney, Badiane etc. We still
have yet to address Kenyon Martin's domination of us for which Antoine
Walker is not the answer.


Hopefully we are smoke screening to take Troy Bell who is a better scorer
and lightning quick with a mean cross-over.

If we take Banks at 16 (which I honestly have to say is more likely if a
promise is made and no other workouts are performed), that likely leaves us
with
Collison at 20 or possibly Sofoklis.

16) Cs          Banks
17) Suns           Cabarkapa
18) NO             Hayes/Pavlovic
19) Utah           Sofoklis
 20) Cs         Collison
 Still available       Gaines, Khryapa, Diaw

<< - According to Deveaney of the Sporting News, despite
 people projecting the Sonics to draft a PG, their GM likes
 Big Guard backcourts. So, the Sonics may do the unexpected
 and bypass all the PGs at 12 and 14.

 - Marcus Banks "agent" at the Real GM message boards has Ainge
 meeting Banks at his home and promising to draft him at 16.
 20, I can live with, but 16? That's completely insane!
 Especially with the possibility of drifters. Taking
 Banks at 16 is Wallacessing in scope. >>
