    Bayless is a decent role player now at least. I would love him back here now as long as he is healthy. He would be a good third guard for us.

    He worked hard to improve his 3pt shot and now is pretty good at it.

    I didn't think either Roy or Lillard would turn out to be as good as they became.

    Yes, that is a great tip that I could have used back then! Now, I just use a propane torch.... :gasoline:

    And gas if needed....

    Well, obviously because Dame's name isn't Lillardovic :devilwink:

    After Lillard gave the fake show 23/11 and a loss while ending bandwagon Nash's career in the process, I was sold.

    I was going to say Bargnani, but I wanted Aldridge 1 and Bargnani 2. So Aldridge.

    I'm surprised how high so many people were on Bayless.

    Most of mine were 2nd round guys (I have 2 or 3 a year that I become a little too attached too lol) so not necessarily sure you can call them fails.

    Richard Howell, Norris Cole, Trevor Mbakwe Lorenzo Brown, David Lighty, Armon Johnson were all guys I thought would be nba role players at worst.

    I've actually been pretty happy with my evaluations on 1st round guys. Most of the guys that I've really liked, even as late as late lotto to mid first, have stuck as starting quality players (McCollum, Adams, Markieff Morris, Gorgui Deing, Jimmy Butler to name a few)

    The two that stick out as guys I was little to high on was Alec Burks (he has had a lot of injuries though), and Jared Sullinger (Thought he could be a Love type w/o the passing) .

    I forgot about Armon Johnson. Meant to mention him because I remember MM being real high on him and low on Patty Mills.

    Yep. Dame's first game was one of his best. He was ready to go on Day 1.

    I thought Dion Waiters had Dwyane Wade potential, I also Absolutely loved Oladipo's game coming out of college... thought he was gonna be an all-star.

    I wasnt totally on the Lillard Train. Since that I tend to trust decision maker a bit more.
