Patrick O'Blount? [CelticsBlog]

Where's all those Nellie haters who brought the nonstop whining about not playing POB now? If Nellie doesn't give a guy minutes (regardless of age or experience), there's probably a good reason. Another draft bust brought to you by Chris Mullin.

A majority of the players drafted are going to be busts

only a handful turn out to be good players. Even in the great organizations there are going to be more mistakes than hits. It’s all about limiting the mistakes and getting lucky.

Tell me about it

First Kedrick Brown, then Gerald Green, you’d think C’s fans would figure out that sometimes talent does not translate, but we keep hoping

meh, you guys aren't alone. should of seen all the W's fans touting POB after a successful stint in the d-league

even though Nick Fazekas also dominated d-league for 20-10.

i knew POB would have difficulty in Boston. not b/c of his offensive game. he has that, it’s just he’s so bad defensively (the thing you’d think he’d be good at). thing is, POB is so soft and so slow (mentally & physically) that he’d never work in a man to man defense.

he’d probably have a chance on a team that primarily plays zone, which requires limited to no rotations and there are virtually no post ups from the opposition.

he can then do what he does best. stand there and be tall.
