If one group is on avarage drafted too high, another group must on average be drafted too low. By definition, players are drafted on average neither higher nor lower than they should be.

Him and Ben Gordon will look just fine in the backcourt together. Then with our offense in the middle of the pack and our defense near the bottom you want to pass on a rebounder, shot blocker and defender for a short PG wannabe, amazing.

There is no reason to expect "being a winner" to translate. If there were, the Pistons would have been a lot better of late. Hamilton, Gordon, and Villanueva all played big roles in winning the NIT. Hamilton, Prince, and Wallace all played big roles in winning an NBA championship. And while McGrady is seen as anything but a winner, he was surprisingly effective last year. Being a winner means you had a good team and some good luck. It doesn't make a guy any better than someone who played just as well in a losing effort. Amen!

He was pulling from 10 feet behind the arc and blazing it consistently Unfortunately, a lot of players this year are going to be drafted higher than expected because it is a weak draft.
