Only thing I can remember is Jim Kelly saying something about Joe Johnson not being anything special during "behind the draft".

if he did, its definetly an error, no doubt. But the entire Boston Celtics made one too, look for who they traded him for to phoenix. Mistakes happen, as long as he makes more good ones than bad ones.

while I agree he is skilled, and would take him at around 18-22. If you watch him play he frequetly just lays the ball up instead of dunking it and most of his blocks are flat footed. He might measure well, but he doesnt play like it, or so it seems to me.


Yep, combine stuff means nothing if you don't show it in-game..didn't see that from Harris. He's probably a straight-line kind of athlete who can run and jump well, but not in the context of changing direction or getting his game off in a confined space. Joey Graham is our lesson here.

youre wrong on several levels. his dad was mormon, and gave jimmer and his brother a choice in their youth - they both became part of the LDS. and you dont need to be mormon to go to BYU - thats called discrimination, and is illegal in america.

So they're going to be perennial allstars? Good to know.

Could someone explain to me what this JIm Kelly hate is from exactly. Ive followed the team for a long time and there has been poor choices but some good ones too. Nobody always predicts prospects perfectly. And if you give him flak about Araujo etc. you got to give him credit for the Mo Pete, VC, Villanueva (he wasnt that bad a pick), Derozan, Ed Davis...The credit and blame needs to be shared with the entire staff anyway. Each time I listen to him, he does make some sense. Do we need to agree all the time? No. But still he seems to be hated by so many people here, its pretty weird to me. Again I may have missed something. Forgive me if I have.


PJ Tucker.. loll

We didnt even workout Ed.. he was the obvious pick since he dropped and we needed a big

He scouts too you know, the fact that he didnt workout here means pretty much nothing. An PJ Tucker was a second round pick anyway, how many of these turn out great?
