We wanted an inside banger who showed promise on defense, and still had a huge amount of room to grow. He averaged a double double in his first year (.3 rebounds off, anyway). Someone delete Syc's post? We also discussed Jefferson and Boozer, but their defense blows.
We have one of those 10-15 picks D: Next year, people will say "Damn! You got Horford with the second to last pick in the first round?"
so much for my Boozer pipe dream.... I was hoping all of you would forget about him and he would drop to the 45th pick... hoping....hoping...praying..imagining..
i dont think horford was a good value pick here - i know there has been a little run on power forwards recently in this draft, but i cant help but think that this pick was a reach.

Charles is now going to choose 2 current, great all-stars, and you'll feel silly that you didn't pick 1 of them, so that you could pick Horford with the 32nd pick. fail? BTW, I want an early to mid 2nd rounder, please PM me with offers.

baron might be slow... but he can deft post up a lot of the PG's in the league... hes inside/out PG... and i love his tenacity
