    As much of an ass as you made out of yourself. Completely ripping any other opinion that didn't go with yours? Yes. Absolutely.

    DeAndre Jordan is dreaming right now of having the free throw touch of Leonard.

    You liked everyone but Lillard. The odds were in your favor, after all.

    When a team Hack-a-Shaq's you. It absolutely matters. Ask any coach, having a 7 footer that can knock down FT's at a 70%+ clip is huge.

    Shaq would have been the best player of all time, no doubt, no argument, if he had made 70% of his FTs.

    Please, you expected me to go back a full page in this thread to find that? Unrealistic at best. :-)

    Maybe you didn't understand the devil wink?

    I liked a few guys at #11, including Leonard. I figured he'd at least become a Pryz with a little more offensive ability.

    No doubt. Also, good free throw shooting bodes well, IMO, for offensive development. A guy who can hit free throws probably is going to be better at hitting 12 or 15 (or 20) foot jump shots than a guy who shoots poorly from the line, and while it's not always the best thing to have a seven footer shooting jump shots, I'd rather have a guy be able to make them than not.

    I'm just most excited about Leonard and his Javale McGee-esque moments

    That twirling scoop layup shot last night was priceless
