Joe Dumars is a smart dude. I think he is going to land BG. I like his picks tonight, too. Budinger is well worth a flyer at this point.
Dumars looks like an idiot to me. When has a 192 pound big man had success in the NBA? The 1960's? Budinger is a second round pick, who most likely sucks. We may as well dub him Bustinger. Dumars is an idiot as a drafter. His only good draft was when he drafted Tayshaun Prince. The guy passed on Carmelo in 2003 for Darko. It comes down to money. Detroit has less championsip potential than us, and Detroit is a dump of a city. If money is equal, Gordon's choosing Chicago over Detroit. Bulls just need to pay him the money he deserves.
Rashard Lewis did ok after being drafted at 190 although he was a bit younger. It's a concern, but 'm going to have to give Dumars the benefit of the doubt on drafting a skinny guy after his success with Tashawn Prince.
The difference between Lewis and Prince is that they are loaded with small forward skills. Austin Daye has no small forward skills, let alone basketball skills in general. He's like a slightly shorter, anorexic Mohammad Sene.
Huh? The guy shot 43% from 3? Hollinger's Draft Rater has him as 4th highest rank in the draft and that is mostly due to efficient production. (Not sure if Hollinger's system would knock him for the weight or now ...which it should)
