    I thought Josh Minnot would end up being a steal for the wolves

    And I was much higher on Jabari than I should have been.

    I said Alpi wouldn't improve! He's only good around the basket. I said he would not be good on defense and he wouldn't develop a 3pt shot

    I thought Malick Badiane would make the rotation after I saw him in the Long Beach Summer League. He was cut a few weeks later, then went on to suck for his entire pro career (4 years overseas and 1 year in the D-League).

    I thought Zion Williamson would be the next BIG thing, literally.

    I'm as high on Amen as anyone, but it's a bit early to call up receipts on that.

    I thought TMac would be a team player and agree to get salary dumped for Vince Carter during the 2008-2009 season. But instead he got season-ending surgery without telling anyone, then supported the Lakers while the Rockets were still in a series with them.

    So you’re essentially the opposite of Bobbythegreat? Always good takes, polite gentleman, and a huge d*ck. Weird

    Silas MIGHT WELL have been a good hire for the Harden team; rotter of a hire for the team, and support, he received.

    If we are going back this far, I was extremely high on both Danny Fortson and Marcus Fizer. I have learned a whole lot about basketball since though. More recently, I thought KPJ stood a chance of being a fringe level all-star. I also had high hopes for Christian Wood as like a third option kind of guy. I'm realizing I sound like DD right now.

    Takes I was dead right about: Josh Christopher will be the GOAT.
