Okafor shoulda gone #1. Period.

[YanksHater213]

i agree. high school players shouldnt be allowed to enter the draft. its ruining college basketball, and kept deserving picks from going number one like carmelo and emeka.

[yeszir]

Not knowing anything about Basketball, did the Celtics do well?

[YanksHater213]

yes i guess to. jefferson is a great forward for a high school guy that could develop into something decent. West is a very underrated play, he helped St. Joes to a undefeated season last year. i dont know much about allen but i have heard all good things

[yeszir]

Lol, post padding. They're gone. ;)

[Chrupzilla]

They did not do too well. Jefferson could be dominant, but is a year or 2 away from anything. West is a great shooter, and Allen is a tough player, but those 2 are nothing more than bench players in the future.

[CalvnHobs6]

Glad to see Gordon and Okafor both go in the top 3 (I'm a UConn fan), imagine if they could play on the same team in the NBA?

[stocker323]

I agree with Chrup in saying West and Allen will be nothing more than bench players. Jefferson could be a great player but with high schoolers it's always hit or miss.

if you were a celtic fan you would say otherwise, NETS SUCK, stocker knows what im talking about. west can play both guard position, and can shoot the ball pretty damn well. i didnt get the pick with allen, but jefferson should become a good starter in his career

[Zenny]

Didn't we already pick Kendrick Perkins last season to be the designated "waste of space" on the team? Now this Jefferson kid might actually force Perkins to play, oh no!

[NomarMannyOrtizzle]

I do not know what you guys are talking about, the C's did great in this draft.

Al Jefferson- Even though this guy played in high school, he averaged 43 points, 18 rebounds a game. That is phenonamal even for a high schooler. He can be a very special player in the NBA and was a steal with the fifteenth pick.

Delonte West- This kid can flat out shoot. If he can develop point guard skills and become a true point guard, he can be an all-star.

your a smart guy... you know what your talking about, none of these other clowns do

[Zenny]

I'm just jaded by the Celtics I guess... Hah, a play on words. ;)

Suprised to see Howard go first, but i guess Magic went with need.
I don't think Okafor can help the expantion Bobcats that much. (Not that Howard could either)
