"Best player available"

[GryphMinuteMan]

I dont think people realize there is an element in drafts that are "agent relations". Players will get drafted just to make relations with agents who may return the favor later on.

Well there goes that theory for why Rozier was taken.

That would be a 'relationship builder' then. That said, there can be some level of networking involved like that -- for example, do we really think Phil Pressy gets an NBA deal if Paul Pressey doesn't have such a long relationship with the Celtics?

BPA works with teams that have decent balance but when you already are overloaded on small guards you don't take one unless he's special. No indication he is special, hearing the normal stupidity from Danny here that he is a defensive beast, really competes! All that means is nothing, the NBA has plenty of defensive guards they just don't get much PT because guards that can't shoot usually don't see the court.

They better be working on trades to get rid of some of these guys, oh and BTW we are going into year ? without a center. I like Zeller but can we at least get a big that can defend and rebound?
