Yeah. Seems like rebounding numbers have always been slow, but with our slower pace, we're going to be lower on the numbers no matter what.

Pritchard said he liked having the 18 because he thought there were 18 players in the first three tiers. if true, the high second is at least the 4th if not 5th tier.
did you mean "[once] considered first rounders?" I'd have to ask "considered by whom?" I have a problem with pundits who rank drafts by how the picks fit their projection instead of evaluating the projections based upon the actual picks. after the NFL draft I read a complete analysis comparing picks to a consensus mock which I thought was completely backwards. there should be a reason a player falls, and I'd only consider him a bargain if I knew the reason didn't apply to our situation.
the Fever showed the merits of taking a Tamika Catchings who was a year away. with Vic a question mark, this could be a very good year to take a player who is rehabbing an injury.

the Kravitz article is good. I read Carr's comment as meaning we aren't going to get anyone good enough to earn big minutes as a rookie. think Holiday. of course, everything could change if free agency goes poorly and we're starting over at 3 and 4.
