[Shad]

People are having a meltdown about 'some' of our picks, go look at the Hornets. The fans there are SCREAMING about their pick

Deservedly so. Their GM couldnt even explain the pick

Troy Weaver said it best "I think Halle Berry is pretty in church or at the grocery store"

Something I harped on all draft process is that teams know how to identify talent. When it's clear it's clear. You dont need to see Wemby against top tier comp to know he's a top tier player. For some guys you need that because it's less obvious, but the level of talent Scoot/Twins had eased competition concerns. That didnt workout for guys like Miller/Sidy who teams didnt view as having undeniable talent.

Thats a great line.

Bilal screams bust to me. If I had to choose one from the top-10 it’s him easily.

I probably would too.

Damn that is painful.

I probably would too.

As much because of his destination as anything though.

I think things turn around in Washington. It might be that he sucks... he's very theoretical. Maybe the shot is real bad. Its good he is in a situation where he can play and develop early.

dude shouldn't have a job - he might be mentally retarded.

Would be fun to go back to the beginning of this thread and see how often Bilal is mentioned in the first 100 pages or so and where he is being mocked to be picked.

I think he just wanted Scoot and MJ made him take Miller and he knows once MJ is officially out out he isnt going to be there anymore. I dont think he cares all that much.

That starts with Bilal being legit I would think. Their next phase is all in on him. Unless the turnaround doesn't even begin for a few more years after he's busted out.

Who are the 6’8-6’9 super long guys who can a bit of everything? Think Siakam. Because I want someone with that potential.

Taylor Hendricks kinda fits that mold.
