Screw this - 27th pick - whatever. And Pau - oh heck no. Zach Randolph all the way. Best overall Grizz and better player to build a team around.

Why attendance, why not playoff wins, or franchise wins - all categories from the least to the most.

Where in the history of sports franchises do the most successful teams have the priority picks over the have nots?
