I thought that some NBA teams would be scared off by the Thompsons and Bilal being somewhat of a mystery. I was dead wrong on that. The Thompsons seem like wonderful young men... I bet that helped any worries dissipate.

Troy Weaver said it best "I think Halle Berry is pretty in church or at the grocery store"

Something I harped on all draft process is that teams know how to identify talent. When it's clear it's clear. You dont need to see Wemby against top tier comp to know he's a top tier player. For some guys you need that because it's less obvious, but the level of talent Scoot/Twins had eased competition concerns. That didnt workout for guys like Miller/Sidy who teams didnt view as having undeniable talent.
 
People are having a meltdown about 'some' of our picks, go look at the Hornets. The fans there are SCREAMING about their pick

As much because of his destination as anything though.

I think things turn around in Washington. It might be that he sucks... he's very theoretical. Maybe the shot is real bad. Its good he is in a situation where he can play and develop early.
 
Would be fun to go back to the beginning of this thread and see how often Bilal is mentioned in the first 100 pages or so and where he is being mocked to be picked.

I think he just wanted Scoot and MJ made him take Miller and he knows once MJ is officially out out he isnt going to be there anymore. I dont think he cares all that much.

even if he wanted scoot anybody with a brain can spin it about 10x better than that without trying or caring. seriously, that was just an embarrassment. a demonstration of complete and utter incompetence.

That starts with Bilal being legit I would think. Their next phase is all in on him. Unless the turnaround doesn't even begin for a few more years after he's busted out.

Its going to be a few years. They will need to collect assets for a couple years unless they completely luck out. We were lucky to have Ainge that shortened up our walk in the dessert by cashing in on Rudy and Don.

Who's he spinning it for? If you made me go up there and pick a guy I didnt want and I knew I wasnt going to be there, I'd be in a similar mindset.
