lets see... Sebastian Telfair instead of Al Jefferson.. Martell Webster instead of Chris Paul OR Deron Williams... Nolan Smith instead of anyone else
Basically the entire John Nash era. But, as bad as Nash was, he was still not as bad as David Kahn. It totally cracks me up that after drafting Rubio and Flynn at 5 and 6, he took Ty Lawson at 18 and traded him to Denver. He had his PG of the Future, at least a decent one, and pissed him away in favor of Flynn and Bricky. I know I posted it earlier in this thread, but it bears repeating. That 2009 draft was perhaps the most PG rich draft in NBA history, certainly within recent memory. Kahn had TWO high lottery picks and used them both on PGs. One of those lottery picks is no longer even in the league and the other is the third best PG on a last place team. Here's the list of PGs Kahn passed on in that draft: Stephen Curry Brandon Jennings Jrue Holiday Ty Lawson Jeff Teague Eic Maynor Darren Collison Nash was incompetent. Kahn is insane. BNM
i think the point is that minny had #5, #6, #4, and #2, in 3 years with nothing to show for it, telfair was #13ish? nolan was 21...if anything the oden and roy picks set the blazers back because they were so high
You think with dumb luck alone you'd be able to land at least one franchise player with four to 6 picks. Roy didn't set us back initially. In fact, he totally turned the franchise around - until the injuries took their toll. Yes, the Oden pick hurts because how good Durant is. But still, back when we were in the high lottery, we did alright. Hell, in 2006 we started the day with the 4th pick and ended up with the to best players in the entire draft. Kahn had 4 top 6 picks in 3 years and didn't even land a single starter on his last place team. Ouch! BNM
Picking on the Rubes is good fun. But I wouldn't mind Bricky coming off our bench with E-Will, Babbitt, Hickson, and Leonard. Next year.
You neglected to mention the 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 TO's. 25 minutes played. His +/e was -14, second worst on the team (to D. Williams' -16, but Williams did play 12 more minutes, so, considering minutes played, Rubio's +/- was the worst).
Bricky Rubio looks like John Crotty right now, uh, in terms of mobility. His game is identical to Sergio.
Ricky is frustrated and now pissed at Porter. Which can only mean one thing . . . . . . . . Porter is gone.
