Celtics Land 5th Pick in NBA Draft


Greg Oden? No. Kevin Durant? No. Al Horford? That’s a little bit more like it. In one of the most anticipated NBA Draft Lotteries for Celtics fans in recent years, the C’s were sent home with just the 5th pick. An obvious disappointment, the Celtics had a 20% chance to land the first selection. An immediate effect is that Boston will not be able to select Greg Oden or Kevin Durant, the consensus top two draftees. [Source: http://nesportsnews.com]
I did want Oden/Durant in a Celtics uniform...badly. I guess it is time for C's fans to stop fantasizing about the potential and realize that for the next five years we could finish each season with one of the worst records in the league. Yes, future hall-of-famers do have that much impact on a team.
