Re: 2008 Draft
Man I'm pumped as all hell for CDR and Lopez. I think we blew a pick on Anderson though. Kidney problem or not, I would have taken Arthur there.

Re: 2008 Draft
I preferred other guys at 21 but Anderson is definitely a guy that can play a role in the NBA and that is one thing you look for. He looks to be a very good shooter and team player. Not a lot of upside but an acceptable pick IMO.
CDR is a great great pick. Pre-draft I called him a steal in the 20's. Getting him at 40 is a coup.

I agree 100%...you like him more, but I think you go for size here w/ Brook on the board...dont turn this into a Wright-Granger situation...because it definitely is nowhere near it...

Re: 2008 Draft
Raps fan here. You guys pwnd at #10 and #40 (so **** pissed you guys grabbed CDR one spot ahead of us!). Look at it this way - Toronto & Boston are 8 guaranteed games a year where you're going to have to go through a big front line, you'll need to get scoring out of the post.
Hopefully all 3 of us can beat up on the Knicks smallball type lineups
Not sure about the kid out of Cal, he gives me ugly flashbacks to Michael Bradley (big unathletic white kid who can stroke it from the college 3pt line ..... how will it translate)
If you guys could've had Milly's #8 instead of Yi it'd be an A+ day, but obv. Milly's new regime wanted Yi gone and J.Alexander totally seems like a Skiles type of player.
