    Or, to name another NCAA Tournament wonder going mid-lotto, the Black Irishman Patrick O'Bryant!

    To be fair to everyone involved, at least UTH and TOR jettisoned him on his rookie contract. No 4/41M deals for Rafael...more's the pity.

    Same place as everyone else not named Aldridge who was picked before him:

    Andrea Bargnani - GONE
    Adam Morrison - GONE
    Tyrus Thomas - GONE
    Shelden Williams - GONE

    At least Roy's career ended due to injuries. All of those other guys are out of the league because they flat out sucked and were shitty draft picks. Even with Roy's injuries, POR owned that fucking draft.

    i think its more fun to look at it the other way - lottery picks who hit the lottery.

    ie people who have no right at all being in the lottery or top5 whatever but were picked and then basically ghosted

    Amazing that one GM thinks Terry Stotts is the very best coach in the entire NBA. Who gave him that vote? Olshey?

    Pretty standard. Giannis getting a lot of love. Not surprised they are so high on Trent Jr. That was a smart move on Olshey's part.

    To we overvalue Dame?
    Other GM's certainly don't.

    I don't think it's overvaluing him but when both Dame and the team stink it up in the playoffs they aren't going to get much love in polls like this going into the following season.

    Dude's on a more-than-max contract (though not as "supermax" as he could be) and getting 1st-Team All-NBA...I'd say he's about properly "rated".

    It appears other GM's don't recognize or endorse his 1st team honors?
    This ok, I know it fuels Dame big time.

    Do they respect Dame? I am sure they think he's a good player. But are they going to put him over some other highly visable, big market equivalent. Probably not. And they aren't going to change until we grab the Larry O'Brien trophy and shove it down their fucking throats....

    Every new year we might as wdll get new 'chip' drawing tattooed on every player's shoulder.

    That's cute - Neil thinks Terry is the best coach in the NBA.
    1/30 = ~3%

    Can't vote on your own team. That's why Magic voted for Kawhi--> TOR as best acquisition.

    Who do we think voted for Stotts? Billy Donovan? Luke Walton? We swept them last season.

    Brad Stevens is not the best coach in the NBA. POP is hands freaking down. Until that young man wins an EC & NBA championship no way I crown him best coach in the association.
    Im not saying he's not a terrific coach, and maybe even #two, put the best? sorry

    It was a GM survey. Billy Donovan and Luke Walton are coaches, not GMs.
