I don't see your point with sweetney pick. I also have no problem with the greg Anthony pick. Collison,Dale Davis????

1972-Dr J already had agreement to play in ABA
1978-Lary Bird was in college and was drafted by Auerbach for the following season. Michael Ray may have been the most talented point guard ever ina knx uniform-who could foretell the drug probs

have no problem with the Anthony pick

1992-Hubert Davis was the best pure shooter in the draft-fit the knx need for outside gunner for Ewing. 23 teams passed on spreewell-tell u something?

2002-draft pick was for Denver-it was Denver choice. The Knx decision was to take a chance on all star revering from injury or high school baller

2003-Has Collison done anything??? did i miss something?

Sweetney will be a starter by the beginning of the season, that is only if we don't acquirer a big man.
