Since the 2004 Draft, the Celtics have drafted 12 players: Gerald Green, Ryan Gomes, Orien Greene, Glen Davis, Leon Powe, Gabe Pruitt, JR Giddens, Semih Erden, Lester Hudson, Avery Bradley, Luke Harangody, JaJuan Johnson & E'Twaun Moore. Almost half of them are already playing internationally, in the NBDL or just out of a job. None of them are starting for an NBA team. The best player of this entire group is Glen "Big Baby" Davis, and that is not saying much of anything.
Seriously this guy is the best draft pick of the past 7 years...
Obviously the value of Gerald Green/Ryan Gomes was utilized in getting Kevin Garnett and Powe/Davis were integral parts of the #17 Banner, but Ainge's futility with valuable assets in the draft has been and is a major problem with the Celtics' depth chart.
Looking at the current rookies, JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore, one can only see that Ainge has once again botched the chance to bolster the C's bench by rolling the dice on low potential players.
Now all we're left with is dreams of someone signing at the Vet minimum for the chance to compete. Without a 7' player on the roster one has to wonder where depth at the 5 is going to come from. But it doesn't even look like we're in the market for the best players, just whatever is left on the scrap heap.
