F- F-F- F-

BBD was picked in the 30’s I think…..

i was hoping for danny to buy a pick but that didnt happen, i dont see how he can get an F though it doesnt really matter to me who he picked at 58 you cant expect much from the kid. If anything i think the pick is good because the guy is 24 so he should be as ready as ever to contribute but thats also what we heard about giddens and he didnt do anything so i dont expect much.

Teams bought picks in front of us and we could have have had him. Mark my words we will regret it.

I’m moonwalking in circles in my living room right now. I bet the celts bring Jeff Adrien in to try to catch on as a free agent

It`s official…No more off-season moves necessary…LH gives us the 2009-10 crown!

can someone agree with me this guy could help the celts out?

I dont see him making any sort of impact this season unless he shoots lights out during the summer league and preseason which i dont really expect. Im not sure he even makes the team to be honest im not sure how many roster spots we have filled but it may come down to pruitt or him if we dont have many roster spots come the end of free agency

It was boring, in spite of Celticsblog’s efforts to liven it up.

So we pick a short 34 year old. Oh well, at least he can score.

And if we need a backup pg, I’m sure Sebastian Telfair can be had for a song.

He could turn out to be a good Eddie House replacement if House opts out this year or next year when he is a free agent but who knows. Im sure Danny atleast likes him or else he would have just got rid of the pick most likely because im sure someone would have given something for it even if it would be practically nothing. That Quadruple Double is interesting enough to atleast bring him to the summer league, he also had some good games against bigger teams which is good.

he was the 58th pick and we have no actual plans for this guy

Ainge says the Celtics don’t know yet if he has a chance to play for the Celtics next season or be on the C’s Orlando Summer League team.

Why wouldnt he be on the summer league team? Those teams are filled with our young guys (pruitt/giddens/walker) our rookies and random free agents i dont see why he wouldnt be allowed to play during the summer league games. Summer league will be a great time to see if he is able to score against decent competition going against some of the top rookies as well as young nba players who are of much higher overall quality than the players he is used to playing against.

The Celtics could’ve done better, I had my eye on Josh Carter from A&M, and Christmas from Temple. I also like Mcneal and Matthews from Marquette more than Hudson.

Also if they are giving Lofton a look in the summer league they should think about Jerrells and Dugat from Baylor who can both shoot the 3 and are small Eddie House height as well. Maybe they’re thinking about letting Eddie go, I hope not.

What’s up with the criticism when you haven’t seen him play? If this guy was halfway decent in school…check that…if he had an sat of 500…he would’ve gone to a huge school and been a household name.

His offense is phenomenal. His defense is solid. I like him way more than McClinton.

Of course the You Tube video makes him look like superman. His shots reminds me a lot of Vinny Johnson who used to bomb up shots.

The guy definetly has range like House and has it appears he has a better handle than House. Who we still don’t know if he has opted for the Player Option w/Celts.

I like the idea of Adrien being invited as he is tough enough to fill-in especially if BBD & LP aren’t on board.

I’m a big fan of scorers who have toughness. 35 vs. last year’s Memphis team is nothing to sneeze at. That was a great defensive college team.

Am looking forward to watching this guy and given Danny’s track record in the 2nd round, I wouldn’t so easily dismiss him. He definitely reminds me of Vinny Johnson with his shot.

Im actually really surprised Adrien didnt get drafted by the Celts just because everyone saw him as Leon version 2. To be honest i expected him to go around 40 but never saw him go. I dont know why teams wouldnt give him a chance hes never going to be a starter but he can be a great guy off the bench just like powe and if we lose baby he could be very valuable to us as well. Bring him in for the summer league!!

Adrien will be in someone’s camp, maybe even the C’s, but guys like him very rarely make it in the NBA. Toughness is a nice trait, but need to have the talent to go along with it.

sounds like Nate Robinson lite

Well, at least DA did pick someone. Looks like this guy can put points on the board, but there is no mentioning of his defense. And one of his weaknesses listed is Turn Over — something the Celtics already has more than enough.

His D isn’t great. He plays passing lanes and goes for steals…kind of like the game he had 10 steals as part of his quadruple double…If you are looking at him as a replacement for Eddie House…he can guard anyone House can guard, and he doesn’t move like he has cinder blocks tied to his feet.

Of “minutes he’ll play less than Bill Walker last year”?

Seriously, we keep drafting this type, and then we don’t see them for a year or two. Don’t think M. Hudson’s going to see much parquet for a while.

it’s all about free agency and/or trades. what did you expect?this kid is a longshot but from his bio, it sounds like his whole life is a long shot. you never know.

I’ve never seen him play.

Mo Lester, Mo Lester, Mo Lester!!! Wait, that didn’t sound right. Anyway, welcome to the C’s kid. Good luck. Who knows, good defense and 3-pt range might get him some palying tiome eventuially.

Anybody you pick at 58 is going to have major flaws or question marks in their game. At least this guy also has a possible upside. Seems worth the risk.

getting Lester Hudson was pure good fortune for the C’s
This was an oversight by all those teams that passed on him, this guy can score with the best of them. He’s not only quick but strong and has good leaping ability along with his inside, outside scoring talent. He plays defense and plays it very well, something like Tony Allen !
In fact he can be compared to Tony Allen with a much better shot from the perimeter.
Gabe Pruitt and the other young guys have a right to be concerned about their position with this selection. My opinion is that he makes the team and because of his play and potential someone is going to get traded possibly Giddens, Gabe Pruitt or perhaps they don’t resign Marbury !
He is the kind of player that will get better and better with time and when his confidence is up there will be little anyone could do to stop him especially in one on one situations.
Boston needed a player that could score and create his own shot that is the one thing they lack.
No one on the C’s is good at beating their man off the dribble outside of Rondo who can’t shoot better than my 15 year old niece !
I’m not sure if Marbury has the ability to consistently beat his man off the dribble anymore
But Hudson is a great choice.

Tough-minded, turnover-prone combo guard that hasn’t show a lot of recent improvement?

Sounds like a potential replacement for Tony Allen to me.

Put him in summer league, see if he can compete for a spot on the end of the bench. What percentage of players picked that late in the draft even end up making an NBA roster, much less ever becoming legitimate contributors? Expectations = nil.

 I’ve been born and raised a Boston sports fan and currently live in the south now. I heard much hype surrounding Hudson and had to see what all the fuss was about. I’ve seen him play in person about 5 times. Here’s my synopsis. He handled Derrick Rose defensively better than any option we threw at him all year. Also Rose is considered one of the better on the ball defenders in the league and he couldn’t guard him in a phone booth that day. I’m not saying he’s the next Derrick Rose but, he’s not to be considered unproven. If I could compare him to a player on our current roster it would have to be Eddie House. He hits big shots and is a high energy and effort defender. Personally I like the pick.

What was it that Auerbach said he liked about Danny as the choice for GM? He said he liked the choice because Danny is “lucky.” I’m telling you, I have a feeling he (we) just may have gotten lucky again. And how else can you explain his past success in the second round?

I expected some mega project, not the second leading scorer in Division 1.

i say welcome aboard lester hudson. i really feel tony allen needs to go. i also think that ray allen wants to finish his career in boston. therefore he wants an extension. they need to restructure his current 1 year 20 million dollar deal to a 3-4 year 20 mill. not insulting him. he is worth it. but we need to improve the team. lets face the big three are getting old. we need some cap money. i also think that KG and Peirce both need to come down to about 10-12 mill each. if they did that then celts could give allen 10-12 mill as well and still have close to 20 million in free cap space. therefore they could sign big baby who is a free agent, give rondo his extension. and sign decent some free agent help.
