    Im greedy I wanted Lillard and Drummond and for a second it looked like Drummond was going to fall to us at 11. Drafting Drummond over Lillard would have never happened after the Oden debacle, we couldnt have two big men with huge upside bust on us.

    I don't know if he will be the best of this draft class, but I figure he has a good shot at it and he also has a good shot at becoming a top 5 player in the league. Bigs take longer to develope and grow into their bodys though so its very possilble Drummond or Davis turns into the better player in the long run, even if Lillard keeps on being awesome. To say that if he is the best of the draft means it was a sucky draft class is a little harsh though, IMO.

    I believe at the time Rasta was having fun linking to a site that thought Jae Crowder should be a lotto pick....

    You are saying Dame dribbles too much. He dribbles as much as Chris Paul, who is arguably the best point guard in the NBA.

    I have no idea what you're talking about in regards to height, or center... because Dame and CP3 play the same position. Dribbling is a skill, something that can be worked on (unlike height).

    You list CP3 at the top of PER, which is good, but you list dribbling too much as a negative...

    I've concluded that this is not a good thread.

    He doesn't get a lot of steals which really boost PER. Trade him for Nate robinson

    Imagine what he could have done with modern Nikes, instead of those leather sandals.

    he isnt as efficient shooting the ball as he could be

    he doesnt get alot of steals

    he plays defense like a rookie

    he could draw fouls better

    he could get guys easier buckets/dunks/layups

    he could be smoother with his pick and roll passes

    etc

    nothing wrong with saying these things, its the delivery, not the message

    What part of the delivery do I need to work on? The part where I said "if he doesn't win ROY I will be outraged"?
