Really? Using Quick as your benchmark for analysis excellence? Are you sure you are happy about this? Sure this is the rudder you want to attach to your ship?

How soon are we going to get bathroom reports from you?

I was chastised as "crazy" and other things for (a) not thinking that Roy is a top 10 player yet, and (b) stating that most non-Blazers fans would agree with me that he is not.

It's less a matter of me thinking Quick knows what he's talking about than that people were so quick to disregard my statement of popular opinion as silly.

Probably not, but many people are excused due to ignorance.

If all the NBA players were placed into a common draft pool, and you were the GM of the team with the #1 pick, name me 10 players you'd select over Brandon Roy.

You're asking a different question. Net present value (which is what I would draft based on) is not the same as current capabilities and stature.

And we thought JQ's picks were bad, take a look at Chris Sheridan's of ESPN (it's in today's Dime):

First Team: LeBron James, Paul Pierce, Dwight Howard, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade.
Second Team: Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, Yao Ming, Tony Parker, Chris Paul.
Third Team: Pau Gasol, Chris Bosh, Shaquille O'Neal, Deron Williams, Chauncey Billups.

I can maybe understand putting one of TP and DW over Roy, but leaving Roy off completely, in favor of both of those AND Chauncey Frickin' Billups... whoa. He did say that he puts a premium on winning... oh wait.
