celtics draft bobby budnick and gerald green 2.0

The Celtics drafted shooting guard J.R. Giddens out of New Mexico with the 30th pick and center Semih Erden (photo) out of the Turkey with the 60th pick this Thursday night. Doc Rivers said in an NBA TV interview tonight that he thinks Giddens "can be a defender in this leauge right now." Semih Erden is said to be a few years away from being NBA ready. ESPN said his area of improvement needs to be "motivation"...really? You need to be motivated to make millions of dollars? Here are the DraftExpress.com and NBA.com profiles for each guy along with some video footage.
