    I don't understand why so many guys dislike the draft.
    U can't expect to draft a player like CP3 with pick 34

    It's a conference call. He'll probably be introduced in a press conference tomorrow.

    We needed a guy that wasn't ball-dominant and could shoot 3's well at the Point Guard spot. We got exactly that.

    PREACH!

    But to get a player with a CP3 co-sign might not be half bad.

    This is a perfect McHale pick. He likes to have 2 PG's at one time. Canaan is a very good spot up shooter and can fit perfect role alongside with Lin.

    Anybody's better than Lin. He's teh worst. He can't even shoot a 3 at NBA level and is the slowest pg we've had in forever.

    He has great handles and moves well with the ball, but he relies too much on ISO and beating his defender off the dribble. I would like to see him work on his P/R play and not play "sticky" ball. What he doesn't lack is confidence, which is a plus.
