NBA Draft 2011

NBA Draft 2011. The 2011 NBA Draft is finally over. Plenty of trades went down throughout the draft, including an eight-player deal between the Bucks, Bobcats and Kings.

Kentucky's Enes Kanter went to the Utah Jazz with the third pick while point guard Brandon Knight slipped to the eighth pick and heads to the Detroit Pistons. That's not all. Josh Harrellson become the 100th Kentucky player to ever be drafted by the NBA when the New Orleans Hornets selected him with the 45th pick, later to be traded to the New York Knicks for cash considerations. It didn't end there. DeAndre Liggins became the fourth Kentucky player drafted this evening when the Orlando Magic selected him with the 53rd pick during the second round.

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics selected MarShon Brooks, a guard, with the 25th pick. However, this was actually New Jersey's pick due to a trade that was announced tonight. The New Jersey Nets selected Jujuan Johnson, a forward from Purdue, who will be traded to the Boston Celtics along with a future second round pick. Johnson was the Big 10 player of the year, averaging 20.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. From outside the arc, he made 29.4 percent.

I think Johnson is a great pick for Boston. With KG aging, he's a big man that can play behind him. Nobody knows what is gonna happen with Glen Davis this off-season.

The Celtics took another player from the Purdue Boilermakers during the second round when they selected E'Twaun Moore, a guard, with the 55th pick of the draft. As a senior this past season, Moore averaged 18 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists a game.
