Nalod, good post and I am suprised to see this post come from you, but nevertheless it is a good post. I made a similar thread a while ago, when I mentioned the euro hype, I also threw in the HS hype, this draft was a joke, guys like livingston, both smith boys and the euro players taken are just not ready, and some of the teams that took these guys need help now!!! I mean there are not 8 Kobe's in this draft!!!! I mean If I am a GM and my job is on the line, how do I take a guy that won't help me anytime soon, as I watched nelson fall and fall and fall, I was just upset, this is a guy who was college basketball player of the year and he was getting bypassed by teams that needed PG's such as Atlanta.. Bilas was right about Smith, the kid does not know how to play the game yet, it is the truth.... Bilas was a fine college basketball player himself he knows talent and has the credentials to speak upon such matters.... I look at the knicks pick, they took a 18 year old kid with the 43rd pick, that was a good safe pick and really the way it should be with these kids who need time to develop, the difference with the knicks pick is that this kid played 1 year of highly competitive college ball at a big time basketball school and did damn well!! These kids comming out are destroying the college game as well as the pro game....
The marbury trade is looking better and better!!
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............
