    It's getting harder and harder to play this game with some of the names in the African American community, not to mention Asia and their whole reverse name thing on the jersey

    I've been consistent with Leonard!

    Though, if Sullinger were healthy and wasn't red-flagged you would have a tough decision to make at #11.

    After seeing Leonard's foot speed for a 7'1"+ guy I would take him over a healthy Sullinger. They both have great feels for the game.

    Hindsight 20/20 is a bitch sometimes, yes?

    Dang. I didn't voice my support in this thread. I guess I can take solace in believing I just voiced support for this thread in my head. :)

    I keep thinking of the draft night story about a big internal war room argument over picking Leonard or someone else. Don't know who that someone else was and I know it's only one game, but given what ML showed and how badly we need a C I'm glad the ML contingent won - wonder who the other guy was?

    I had heard the Blazers were really high on Lamb. I am guessing him?

    sounds plausable, wonder who was the big Meyers fan or fans?

    I never liked Lamb. Him, Zeller, Waiters, Rivers and Barnes were the guys I didn't want a part of with our picks. I would have accepted Barnes at #11 had he fallen to us.

    I'm glad I was so non-commital, it makes it so much easier to say I liked him all along.

    I liked Beal/MKG/Robinson, you could flip-flop with any of these guys at the top-half of this draft.

    For a few weeks before the draft I zeroed-in on three guys: Waiters | Leonard | Crowder

    I like Beal/MKG/Robinson a lot as well. I've stated multiple times on here. But, I also realize they weren't attainable. I was doing cartwheels when news broke that the Cavs were going to reach (again) on Waiters.

    This shit is going to get old, after 1 summer league game really? He looked pretty good out there...Wasn't really up against NBA caliber players, but he had some good moments...He still looks pretty raw offensively...but dunks, put backs are good and he boarded well...Seems like a nice kid as well...Would have been interesting to see him up against Anthony Davis...

    I never said he was unathletic....In fact I went back and looked at my last post and I said he was athletic and best case scenario was DeAndre Jordan.

    I wanted them to take Lamb...He has looked pretty good as well....
