God could you imagine if New Jersey won the lotto and we lost out; then the team that picked 6th grabbed Lillard? This forum would be complaining all season on how Lillard should have been ours.
We got lucky with Lillard. No doubt. Not since 1983 have we been so lucky. Check out this draft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_NBA_Draft Check out picks #2, #5, #6, #12 , #13, ( all ahead of Clyde)
Interesting that Mitchell Wiggins was in that draft as well. That top HS kid from Toronto and the #1 pick in the 2014 draft is his son.
Those guys had injury-shortened careers except Russell Cross. What's up with him? The #6 pick got only 1 year and no team tried him for a 2nd season?
