In fairness, this isn't necessarily a flop of a pick, but I think it's too risky and a bit of a reach. If Bayless hadn't fallen, I wouldn't be as down about this one. But c'mon. I hope this isn't another case of a promise that they refused to go back on.

On the other hand, isn't it refreshing that the Knicks didn't succumb to the win now/starphuch type of move and stuck to their guns and took a guy that was an obvious tough sell b/c they liked his upside that much?

Channing Frye? Or was he just a safe pick with zero upside?

Anyone see his stats for 07-08? He got worse...glad we dont have him anymore.

Great pick by Golden State. Randolph gives them defense, some rebounding and size.

is he the next Jonathan Bender or the next Marcus Camby?

That's not totally fair. Bender had promise but had no cartilege.

LOL, with Mike D gone, the Suns opt for defense and select a nice player.

That was a safe pick...a pretty well known name and a Center- you can always sell a center when you have no size (we didn't at the time).

Whoever get Speights, and Courtney Lee will be very happy. I really think Chalmers is going to be all right

I hope the Knicks buy a pick and take a chance on Jordan.

There has to be more. This makes Lee so expendable. It makes no sense at all keeping Lee.
