Danny *does* think fans are stupid

"These guys who are going to be available for us at #5 are going to be good, and this is the highest pick that we've had for a very long time," Ainge said. "There's other ways to get lucky. Nobody thought Paul Pierce was going to be the player he turned out to be when he was selected at #10, and nobody thought Al Jefferson was going to be as good as he's become when we got him at #15 a few years ago."

Is this the same Paul Pierce that *everyone* thought would go in the top five, maybe top three?  The Paul Pierce whom we didn't even work out because there was no chance he'd be available when we picked?  The Paul Pierce all Celtics fans were ecstatic about when he slid to us?

Give me a break.
