I'm not disagreeing that it was a bad value pick.

I'm not disagreeing that we could've used Marcus as another asset.


But look at who the Bulls took @ 16 --- Thabo Thelobosha.

Bulls fans can't be too thrilled with that either.

Another semi-unknown who only fits a need.


I bet if it was Paxson picking Balkman instead of Isiah, you'd all be drinking the Kool-Aid.

DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

we didn't need marcus.. we have 3 pgs already on this team.. i like the pick of balkman playing for the knicks.. we did need to sure up our defense..

we got too many offensive players.. now with collins on this team, you can have an option of playing him @ the 1 and nate and the 2, in yrs to come..

one thing about isiah, he never fails when it comes to picking talent from the draft especially when he has that dude working with him.. forgot his name but he use to work with detriot and was responsible for detriot picking ben wallace.. forgot the dudes name..

according to the scouting reports on Sefolosha & Balkman, they sound like very different kinds of players:

then the wizards cut him and brendan suhr told Orlando to sign him immediately. suhr also strongly endorsed drafting rodman.

nbadraft usually has awful comparisons.


go by draftexpress or anything reliable for that matter.


he's a defensive role player.

Thabo was rated in the top 16-20 in two of the mock drafts that I saw.
