So by your logic, one of the NBA's biggest 3pt chuckers had a good BBall IQ until Kmart, Jesus, arrived. I'll keep that in mind.

They certainly wouldn't have gotten past the Bulls; he was clearly the difference. And he absolutely played like a smart player. The Heat clearly benefited from having THREE players who were THE MAN on NBA teams: Shaq, Wade, and Walker.
walker wasnt stupid... coming out of college people praised his decisions makin... he became a chucker cuz he got overweight... and lazy... didnt make him stupid... hey man food is a drug to some people

Childress is a big loss for them, too. He's got size and ability to take guys off the dribble to the hoop. He was very good for them in situational play. They're going to have to rely much more heavily on Joe Johnson in his absence.

But it's not MY team to build. Bogut's IQ is decent, but he's certainly not taken the giant step up that he might. I wouldn't have picked him this early in the draft, unless I was building a team for the future and felt it was worth taking the risk (he will step up). I would have taken Dalembert ahead of Bogut. And Kaman, and Okafor, and Camby. I won't talk about undrafted guys, but I will point out guys I would have picked instead after they're taken.
OK OK... i want people to critique my team PG: Baron Davis SG: Ben Gordon SF: TBA PF: David West C : Brendan Haywood

Davis is good enough to get you to the playoffs almost on his own. He's got good help. Gordon's an uncanny scorer, one of the rare players in that regard in the league. West isn't as much of a banger on offense for a PF as you'd like. Haywood got burn for Washington last season and the team did much better than you'd expect with Arenas out and Butler hurt, too. He's a winner.

I absolutely wouldn't have taken Dalembert over Kaman or Okafor to a lesser extent. Camby you have a point, Bogut I don't know enough about.

And then you're talking about Dalembert, Camby, and Okafor (not sure about Kaman). Something isn't right here.
