He thinks Danny's going to pick Trent Plaisted (Who?). Has anyone heard of this guy before?

The last thing on my mind right now is who Chad Ford thinks the Cs will take. Playoffs say hello.

lol that mock draft is a joke

he lists what the team needs and is looking for, then in his description, they dont do any of that, but they take the player anyways

and the kid at 7 he says is too high to take him, and he has him going the very next pick at 8

LOL, I did read on nbadraft.net that he can run a 4.4 forty. A 6-11 250 lbs morman running a 4.4 is funny... Maybe the Pats should have taken him.

mock draft 2.0

I am not thinking to much about the draft but it is alsomy favoite draft much better than football I think. Now about Trent Plaisted I saw the guy play once live and followed him checking box scores etc.. Iwatched byu play north carolina this year and Trent was without a doubt the best player in that game. The annoucers were in shock at he dominated the game. He had like 22pts and 15 rebounds. Likefordsaidheis a rotation player in the nba he plays in the post, he is lefty and hasgood footwork and is quick. He is not a great shotblocker average defense and is a poor free throw shooter. I really like this pick. This guy has some skills and with coaching from clifford ray he improve on those skills. I can't think of someone to compare him to maybe like trying tothink of someone perhaps channing frye or a guy who played for the celts who he is imliar to is joe kleine who was solid backup to parish but trent has a better skill set than than kleine . Also remember that he played with ainge son at byu and he may have more insight on him than other players in the draft

You know we haven't picked this guy yet and its pure specualtion.... :)

But for real I think we just need to draft Ante Tomic and let him sit in Europe for a few years.

He also reminds he a little of Joe Kleine. But he is faster and quicker than Joe was and he has better foot work.

But with Ray Allen getting older and playing like crap and the health issues surrounding Tony Allen, I would go a different way. I rather get a guy like Courtney Lee or J.R. Giddens. I don't think Bill Walker will fall to #30.

Now if we can get a wing player through free agency, I would love to get Josh Childress or settle for Matt Barnes. If that happens, then I would look to go big. I like Joey Doresy and Nathan Jawai more than Trent Plaisted.

Does he also have the hands of a sturgeon?
