PF update......

I wanted: LaMarcus, Bargnani, Gay, Thomas, in that order. I seriously underrated Roy, ranking him 6th. At least I was right about Morrison -- he had stiff written all over him, I still don't know how some people didn't see that. I'm glad KP did.

That's my solace, too. I got that one right.

I had NO idea Brandon was as good as he was til he won the game up in Seattle opening night.

I remember being not at all disappointed that we got the 4th pick, because I viewed it as a toss-up between LMA, Bargnani, Gay, and Roy ... roughly in that order. Picking 4th just meant you have less pressure and less pay for an equally good shot at a top rookie.

I'm guessing that Papag posted similarly as well regarding Morrison.

Yeah I did not want us to get Morrison either. But I didn't want Roy. I loved the LaMarcus pick, he was my first choice in the draft. I was pissed when we passed up on Gay and took Foye! Gay and LA were my top 2 choices in the entire draft.

I never understood how so many people could be in love with Morrison, a white un-athletic shooter from a small conference school that cry's at the end of games.... Bird comparison's were stupid, Bird could rebound and pass.

I didn't care about him crying at the end of games, but to do it when the game wasn't over that was a different matter.

After he was pulled out for the last time, sitting on the bench, Bird cried on camera when Magic beat him in the NCAA Final.

I just wanted to buy a Blazers jersey with GAY on the back.

After the Blazers initially picked Foye, he was so highly praised that I regretted when he was dealt for Roy.

I met someone who follows college ball and he told me of seeing Roy when UW played at Stanford. He was not impressed, thought Roy had not shown a lot. Then looked at the box score and Roy had something like 15 pts, 8 rebounds 4 assists, 2 steals, and thought where did all this come from? Not showy but sure got the job done.

Of course, what really made that draft legendary was the famous "Don't talk to me about Portland! What is Portland thinking?" from Stephen A Smith.

Wheels tried to sell me out!

Wheels tried to sell me out!

Yeah, but he couldn't find a buyer. In fact, towards the end, he was offering to pay people to take you...
