Midrange shot does not seem too bad, either.

Knicks were lucky that he wasnt taken 40-43--they shouldve secured the 7 footer and if they wanted Rautins badly he shouldve been 44. And when we look back in 3 years--we will know what kind of blunderous error we made by not picking up that 31 pick for sale and taking Whiteside.

#31 was for sale?

YES it was sold--that is why I'm on tangent:) That player was a lottery talent--you go for the highest upside in the 2nd round everyone knows that in the NBA. We couldve had 2 nice 7 footers

oh, now i see it. From Atlanta.

The trade is listed as a 3 team trade - Nets - Hawks - Thunder. I'd be willing to bet that the Nets had instructions not to sell the pick to us. How much did the Thunder pay for the 1st pick, 2nd round?
