They could have got more, they are tanking to land Oden I bet for sure and thinking Miller could help the young players unlike his ass did for the Clippers. Thaddeus Young by his stats he is putting up doesnt look like a late 1st or 2nd more like a lotto pick. Plus not everyone will enter the draft, some who normally wouldnt have got a taste of college will stay due to the newer NBA rules.

Well, guess we will find out how good a team player AI is when Melo gets back. We really wont know for a couple years tho. Kinda like TO, he's ok for about a yr then his true colors show. I dont remember who posted it but I think Minny would have been ideal place for him. KG is not selfish enuff and would have had no issue with AI taking shots I dont think. Melo, I think there is gonna be some tension there next yr or this yr if they hit a bad streak.
And, let me say I'm not dogging AI. He's one of the quickest finishers I think of all time. Lot of guys are quick but cant finish, he can. Lot of similarities between him and Isaiah Thomas to me. Isaiah was probably not quite as worried about his own stats but AI not having a lot of scorers around him is a valid point. This should be interestin when Melo gets back.

Stats and the NBA don't mix... if the NBA drafted solely based on "stats" European players wouldn't even be drafted. Half of the European players that come to the states barely play more than 20mpg. Great deal for Philadelphia for what they're looking to accomplish.

Well the Mavs pick maybe solid if Dirk ankle is bad.
