you can't assume things like this guns...i mean did you ever think Andrei Kirilenko would develop into the impact player that he is when he was drafted? watching Euro games, college games & NBDL games are a good way to judge how fast a player is, how mobile, how athletic, etc., but until we see these guys take on NBA level competition, we can never know for sure just how good they'll really be.

thats exactly what I'm saying. Andrei was the 24th pick. we can find a kirilenko later on without drafting a highly potential bust so early when there will be impact players like wade, pierce, amare, mcgrady available.
