When I wanted to move up I told people there was going to be value in the 11th. Some even voiced their displeasure by calling my offers "crappy".
I like my guys. I like the different set of skills I have for my coach to use. I like the youth and potential for further development. I like the guys that are stars now and can make this team a playoff team now. It's not winning a championship this year but in 2-3 years I wouldn't say it was beyond going very, very deep in the playoffs.
right, but the problem is the way we vote, thats a tough sell for people.
IT helps if the guy gets run now that we re-eval, but there's a fine line between guy who has NBA stats to point at and rookie tearing up the summer league when your writing about your future.
It's why i've laid off 2-3 rooks picked in the second round. with no stats in the NBA to back them up, its a very tough sell the way we vote. people assume your fluffing them up (even if your not, i like your picks)
