    This is no different than the websites that say we had the worst. These types of opinions are all just that. Time will tell on these two. I’m not very excited. Feel like they won’t make any contribution til Dame or CJ are gone.

    I don't think we need them to. What we need (A veteran, starting caliber forward) is only findable on the FA Market or via trade.

    And if that’s true, that doesn’t make them bad picks. Because they were chosen based on the likelihood they will contribute in the future, not necessarily immediately (although that wouldn’t be a bad thing either).

    I don’t consider them bad picks. I don’t think you can have a bad pick outside of the lottery. It’s all a crapshoot and guessing game regardless. I just don’t think they move any type of needle whatsoever.

    whT pick at 24 is a needle mover before the player plays? Nobody knew klay or dgreen would be as good as they are when picked.

    There Aren’t any needle movers at that point in the draft. Not until after they get a year or two of playing time.

    While I hear you, now that Draft Express sold out to ESPN (fuck they ruin everything) nbadraft.net is the best there is IMO (my one stop).

    It's funny for how much basketball @HCP watches he doesn't know $hit about the game.

    I must admit their last mock the morning before the draft turned out pretty accurate.
