im hella confused now, i truly always thought we are great at picking players late :D

not a shot at diawara, i think he looks promising fo a 51st pick.
We pick good late first rounders.

I was gonna say Nazr Muhammad had a decent career but you said first name :-?

Mo Bamba doesn't mean he's not less Bamba, it means Mohammad Bamba. Great name, Mo Bamba. And Mohamed Gueye is playing for Atlanta.

Sorry he's not the first, but maybe if we keep him long enough, he'll be the best.

Have there been any good Jesuses in the league? I don’t think so.

Steer clear of drafting players named after messiahs or top prophets

Dangit the Kings got Cardwell, I like him even though he's not a stretch big.

Dink Pate baby good pickup by Knicks. Big guard can do it all including rebounding and defense.

Draft makes sense now after Pate signing, can't wait to see what a new coach does with our young talent.

I think we're good with working with role players and developing them. Lots of value in that though...leaves us money for the stars.

I think this is the way of the future, if the current CBA continues to rule. Sign and pay the best stars and take young, unproven talent to develop into cost effective role players.

I do have reservations, however, that the new CBA is creating a two-tier system of haves and have nots among players.
