Lillard and Royce were my favs at the time. I thought Sac was going to take Dame at 5 though. There was a you tube video of Dame KILLING it in a pre draft workout. I never thought they would grab Robinson over Dame.
The trade target would have been Toronto at 8. They completely reached for Ross at that spot, and could easily have gotten him at 11. If we had been able to work a deal for their pick, we'd have been set.
The draft is proof of Dame's selfishness. If he hadn't torn up pre-draft workouts, he'd have been available into the late-first round, maybe early-second. He shot up draft boards, costing us a shot at he and Drummond, if not more.
I glad we didn't get Drummond. He's not a good human. There have also been multiple reports saying the Pelican's wet dream was to draft AD, then Lillard. But to settle for Rivers.
Instead of addressed, mental illness gets ridiculed and ignored in this country. Even when they shoot up movie theaters.
Then you knew who the biggest finds in that draft would be. Middleton, drafted #39, is #4 in minutes per game out of that draft. Green, drafted #35, is #9 in mpg. Why did those two fall so far in the draft?
Leaked pictures of his celebrity ex-girlfriend at the time on the internet. I'm sure it didn't help her career much being a Nickelodeon Star. Granted she was dumb as a rock for actually sending pictures to him... Being a children's TV star... But I think it takes a pretty rotten human to leak pictures of your Nickelodeon Star girlfriend on the internet just because of a breakup. I had a couple bad breakup's when I was a teen. But I never put pics of theirs up, or showed any of my friends because of a breakup. Yeah if they got to draft AD + Lillard would the Warriors have ever won a ring? IDTS.
there was actually an entire web site dedicated to that. you would send in what ever nudes of who ever you had and they would post them up. it made a pretty impressive run.
That pick sucked.....but it's not like the draft was filled with talented players. It looks pretty bad in hindsight.
