Round 2

by Jim Weeks on Jun 28, 2007 11:04 PM EDT in Green Bandwagon

Gabe Pruitt? He can't defend, is not a big dude, and his best attribute - shooting - is something that the C's just solved with Ray Allen. And last time I checked Gerald Green could shoot. Basically he's a project. I understand the 2nd round is definitely far from a sure thing but I thought this was a deep draft.

Glen Davis - Secretly I enjoyed this pick, partly because the C's did not draft McRoberts. Big Baby is large but does not solve the C's size issues at 6-9. And since Doc Rivers admits to not coaching defense that area of Davis' game should continue to be an issue. And I wonder if Leon Powe will try to kill him in practice? Bonus points because he went with "Big Baby" instead of "Baby Shaq."

So yeah.

Will the C's make another big deal before the summer ends?

Big Baby

I'm not 100% sure, but I think big baby is a life-long nickname and not just from college....

A buddy of mine went to Kentucky so I caught a lot of SEC basketball. It was obviously just the college level, but Big Baby could be downright dominate at times.

Fazekas

I thought the same thing about Pruitt...we now have Ray Allen, Allan Ray, Gerald Green, and Gabe Pruitt who all play the same position and do essentially the same thing. Why not draft Fazekas with that pick and then grab Big Baby? That's what I was rooting for. Pruitt didn't make a lick of sense to me.

Agreed

Pruitt doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense unless they plan on moving one of the 4 you mentioned. Even then he seems like a project. And this will be year 3 of the Gerald Green project.

Ray

I've got to think Allan Ray gets cut. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Big Baby

I do think he dropped for the wrong reasons. Although his weight is a concern. But at least he has one real skill - scoring. I'd love to see him in summer league.
