    In fact find the Draft thread and I bet there were no doubters on the pick. Everybody wanted Greg!

    There were pre-draft red flags, but they were mostly dismissed as paranoia or smoke screens.

    I was pro Greg Oden before the draft. I didn't know about the red flags though

    I agree. If scouts do their homework (or just get very lucky), there are a lot of players who are pretty even now, overall. So it makes selecting players one big clusterfuck. Some will hit, some will be misses. But there will be some guys who are big hits that will be picked pretty late in this draft - I'd say more than the average draft.

    I am pretty sure Mrs HCP said Giant red missile, not flag

    Sullinger at 6 would be depressing. Shit, Sullinger at 11 is still sad. Just not sold on him. Seems like a great dude, but I just don't expect him to be more than a Nick Collison type of player in the NBA. And since I expect him to be available at No. 11, it'd be a joke to pick him at No. 6.

    Drummond and Lillard would be rad.

    So much of this draft relies on Barnes going Top-5, and/or someone else moving up. I'd be happy with Davis, MKG, TRob, Beal, or Drummond at 6. Just not a Barnes fan.

    Quality post altering. Too bad you aren't that cleaver in the bedroom. MRS HCP might be an honest woman
