Draft, Perkins

[Steve Ouellette]

I don't think Rodriguez had even declared when Ainge made his "around 12" comment ... though I also don't think we should take the around 12 comment seriously. I highly doubt he has one target guy in mind in the draft. And that all these workouts are irrelevant because he knows who he wants.

I can't believe that the Cs would take a guy whose upside is Jason Williams (and who could very easily be Jose Calderon) with the No. 7 pick. Maybe if they dropped down.

Celts just need one team to fall in love with Marcus Williams or Randy Foye and they can get Thomas, Bargnani, Gay or Roy, and that would be a good draft to me.
