    I know, right? You want more? Try this:

    Also check out DraftExpress's article where they compare all the wing guys. Literally the only stat where Barton does not finish higher than Terrence Scott [Edit: I meant Ross] is in Blocks. And we're talking advanced stats like TS%

    Elliott Williams. Easy choice! Williams was looking good before the bad luck / freak accident injury. He busted up his shoulder in practice, Chris Johnson tried blocking his shot and caught his arm and ripped his shoulder apart. Freak accident that would have messed up any players shoulder... not just E.Will.

    EWill is a lot more athletic - Barton is smooth and slithery. Barton has the better game, EWill will make more highlights. If you came from the future and said one of them made the 2016 All Star game, I would bet Barton.

    What?!?! I thought every player on your roster had an impact on a teams salary cap.

    2nds --not until they sign. 1st-rounders have a cap hold, 2nds don't.

    I guarantee you that Barton doesn't get a contract signed until after we blow all of our cap space.

    So in three years when Barton is our starting shooting guard and is leaps and bounds more productive than the two guys picked ahead of him on the roster, will Olshey get credit for mining a gem, or will he get criticized for the two that aren't meeting expectations?

    :wink:

    Olshey is talking about a blood bath over one of the choices. I hope Born was the one who he listened to
