Danny Ainge/First Draft Pick
Durant or Oden?
I am from Sacramento, but I'm currently a student at BYU. I attended BYU's last regular season home game in which they won the regular season title (don't worry, I'm not a Cougars fan). Anyway, Danny Ainge and Mrs. Ainge were there watching their son Austin Ainge, who is on BYU's team. After the game, I approached Danny to discuss the draft. My conversation with him proceeded as follows (oh and this was before the Durant's mom incident):
OB: "Hey Danny."
DA: "Hi."
OB: "You're kind of in charge of the draft for the Celtics right?"
DA: "Right."
OB: "If you get the first pick in the draft who are you going to pick?"
DA: "I don't know. I can't say."
OB: "You don't know or you can't say?"
DA: "I dunno."
OB: "Well let's just discuss then."
DA: "Okay."
OB: "I think Oden is really good. His footwork is decent, he can make free throws with his left hand, he's got a developed body, and he looks very mature. I think that in a few years he can be a very good big man. But Durant is the man. He's skinny but he's got time. He's like a McGarnett (McGrady and Garnett mix). I say you pick him if you can."
DA: "Okay, I'll think about it. They are both incredible kids. If we get the first pick, I honestly don't know who I would choose, but I love 'em both. I think they could both contribute to our organization."
OB: "Yeah well I think you should take Durant."
DA: "We'll see."
Okay, so this inside information wasn't too inside, but he obviously like my insights on Durant since he's been hanging out with his mom lately.
