Look, broski, I know for a fact that Machado has a long NBA career ahead of him while O'queer is gonna be flipping burgers at Mickey Ds. So don't tell me what I don't know. What's that? You want me to provide an in depth analysis proving my knowledge and wisdom? You know what, I'm not even going to glorify that with a response.

49 is 49. But Liggins looked like a steal and Machado, Kris would've had similar opportunities with our roster holes. I still love OQuinn pick alot though because he came across as a tough legit Center. It's giving Dwight and BBD security there, great underrated move.

Worst.draft.ever.

I don't even think Otis Smith woulda been idiotic enough to pass on Sullinger or PJIII @ 19.

Oh well.

I'm gonna give it a chance but damn, it's really getting hard for me to continue to support the team.

On no? He passed on Granger at 11 in 2007.

Ford said Nicholson was more David West and Grantland said a mini Al Jefferson.

Also, free agency just got much more interesting now.

I'm happy with our picks. I trust Hennigan, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for his first year as GM with the Magic.

I'm heading to bed... have to wake up early.

It was fun guys, get at you tomorrow.

PJ3 got passed on by almost the entire league. He could be Shard 2.0 or he could have been passed on for a reason.

It's gonna be sad when Chris Doo-hon is our starting PG.

Sullinger is small, unathletic and has back problems. I have no problem passing on him.

I do have a problem taking another PF

For anyone who didn't like our pick. O'Quinn was the guy who screwed over everyone's college bracket last year.
