    It'd pretty much guarantee Seattle would have a team soon.

    Actually Zags would want to draft the entire Gonzaga team, and Fez would change his mind about who he wanted to draft every 15 minutes.

    I think it would be an interesting experiment to have a fanbase determine who is drafted, over a 10 year period and see how that team does compared to those that use all those professional scouts etc....sometimes GMs will get things right that fans probably would not (like Damian Lillard), but a lot of times they seem to out-think themselves (Nolan Smith over Faried)

    I can tell you for a fact that we never would have drafted Babbitt or Smith, and Faried would be a Blazer. I also think Leonard would not have been drafted.

    My track record is impeccable.

    I pretty much introduced this board to Lillard when he was at Weber St.
