    Meh they have some okay guys I guess ..... I would have taken 1 key big name and used him with the 2nd overall pick to make a 2 player combo. They could of built around that. But now they are going to have all these young guys none of which can lead this team. Plus #2 overall Rookie playing. I'm sure they will add more in the free agent market but I would of done it different.

    Well, Charlotte selected a few too many, lol. Although they will bring the roster down to eight players, it makes no sense to select so many, in my opinion. Personally, some of these choices were pretty good selections, especially Gerald Wallace, Tamar Slay, JR Bremer, Jason Kapono, Jamaal Sampson I feel have great potential if they keep them and let them play more minutes. I thought it was a mistake for Cleveland to dump Bremer from the start.

    Jeff Trepagnier, Marcus Fizer, and Predrag Drobnjak have a potential as well, if given the right system to play with, it depends if they adjust well enough, though Fizer may not be there for long anyway. The most underrated player in this selection of players is Richie Frahm. He has a good shot, if he works on his game on all ends, he could have a good career as a bench player.

    8 of the players won't even of the team... that includes Marcus Fizer and Loony Baxter... it is because most of them our restricted free agents... technically they only have 8 player under contract...

    They drafted a lot of restricted free agents in order to create cap space. Now they can try to resign who they like, and go after other free agents. They're not stupid.

    Of course they're not stupid, like I said, Fizer will not be on this team within the coming weeks. New York wants him on their team, and they want him badly.
