He still had a poor season, but his attitude seemed to have improved.
Oh goddamnit. Somebody picked McCants. Somebody give me a reasonable explaination why he was available this low. It's incomprehensible to me. When I get home i'll list the guards taken before him that are nowhere near his class.
The only problem with McCants on the T-Wolves is that they asked him to play too much point. He has solid PG skills, but he's a two. He's not even really a combo guard. His best role is to come off the bench and score. He's a great shooter.

Well excuse me for enjoying my last year of college instead of watching the Minnesota Timberwolves last season. I stand by Roger Mason Jr., thank you very much.

I think Ricky Davis utterly sucks.
If its past the time then go ahead and pick...I will update the thread when I get home, as right now I just jacked my girlfriends brothers computer...will be home in...an hour or 2.
I like both the Ricky Davis and Channing Frye picks. Davis is a very good offensive player, enough so that he plays in spite of being a head case. Not sure how long Riley is going to put up with him - that's the risk. Frye is one of those guys who was very good as a rookie and got worse as he got older. He's still not that old, but he also still can play ball. The risk with him is that he gets buried on the bench in Portland behind Oden and Przybilla and Aldridge. Barring injury, there's maybe 12 minutes/game available for him to get PT.

Maybe he's where he's actually wanted for a change.

I also liked the Frye pick. At the end of the year he was getting tougher on the inside instead of just shooting jumpers all day. Although he is good at doing that too.
I attempted to update the roster thread. Everybody check their team to make sure all is well. I had to update about 30 picks.
