“Dr” Rob, 411mania.com:

20/20 hindsight: The 2001 draft absolutely crushed them. They had three first round picks, including back-to-back lottery picks at 10 and 11, and completely squandered them. The one good choice they made, Joe Johnson at 10, ended up being for naught after they traded him to Phoenix for a whole lot of nothing. The other two guys they picked, Kedrick Brown at 11 and Joe Forte at 21, are both out of the league already. Here are a few of the guys who were still on the board when the Celtics were picking at 10 and 11: Richard Jefferson, Zach Randolph, Tony Parker, Gilbert Arenas, and Mehmet Okur. Ouch. Any threesome from that group would have been a major improvement over the three guys they ended up picking. Now in their defense, the whole league passed on Arenas, and overseas scouting had not yet blossomed so missing Parker and Okur can be excused. But whiffing on Jefferson and Randolph, and even some other guys who have gone on to become serviceable players like Samuel Dalembert, Jamal Tinsley, Gerald Wallace, Brendan Haywood, Troy Murphy, and Bobby Simmons cannot be forgotten so easily. Danny Ainge should be interrogated about this draft and why he made the choices he did.

Those weren’t Danny’s picks. The whole article has no credibility.

I agree with the 411 article. The C’s need a solid vet PG more than anything else. They’ve got scorers, but no one to deliever them the ball consistantly. I like Rondo & West, but neither is the total package.
