Draft Night

David Stern

The first round is more than two-thirds over and the Celtics still hold the 30th pick. Comcast's Greg Dickerson said Danny Ainge is feverishly trying to trade the pick with Chicago and Seattle being potential partners. In Chad Ford's latest mock draft, the Celtics select Memphis swingman Chris Douglas-Roberts. 

The biggest surprise so far has to be the freefall of Darrell Arthur. The Jayhawk sat alone in the green room until New Orleans scooped him up at 27. Sacramento also raised eyebrows by taking Jason Thompson at 12. Most "experts" had him going 6-12 spots later.

Someone tell Stu Scott that the "Dick Vitale needs to be more enthusiastic" jokes were old 10 years ago.
