      Wasn't around much during this Draft but here's what I said regarding Jordan Williams entering the Draft:

      Dude's making a mistake IMO and wouldn't be surprised to see him either just sitting at the end of the bench, playing in the D League or even out of the league by Year 3.

      Looks like I was wrong.

      Because he was out of the league by Year 2 SMH.

      Watched Russia play a "friendly" vs Lithuania and Jonas Valanciunas. For the Cleveland Cavs' sake, Tristan Thompson better be real good!
      3 years in and so far, he's shown that he can hold his own in the NBA.

        I don't think I was on OS back when this was up and don't feel like checking every page to find out lol.. But I remember not thinking Kyrie would be a good NBA guard. I just didn't buy into his hype whatsoever.. I was way off obviously, but nothing I saw from him outside of his ball handling made me believe he would be an all star caliber player in the league so quickly. I couldn't believe he was a top 5 pick in mock drafts lol.

          Really?

          Even with him missing most of the year, the "potential"(Every GM's and Fans favorite word) was going to get him in the Top 5 alone.

                  I'm glad Kemba is making strides and coming into his own, at least he is every time he plays the Knicks lol. Would still like to see that FG% get a little higher. I hope he gets out of CHA and into a better situation.

                  I think my central theme of this thread was Knight vs Kemba and how much of a joke it was that Knight was mocked and eventually drafted ahead of Kemba. So far Kemba's the second or third best player in the draft depending on your thoughts on Klay.

                    This draft ended up being pretty deep. Guys like Jimmy Butler, Isaiah Thomas, Chandler Parsons, Norris Cole, Kyle Singler, ect. all could end up being solid NBA guys and were picked after 27. There are some quality guys from outside the lottery as well: Faried, Jackson, Harris, Shumpert, Vucevic, and Leonard.

                      this draft is drastically better than 2010, and might be better quality than 2012

                      30/51 who have been with the team have made it (59%)

                      32/51 who have been with the team have played decent minutes from the 2012 class (63%)

                      26/49 who have been with the team have played decent minutes from the 2010 class (53%)

                        And Cole already has 2 rings and if he improves offensively he could possibly be the best player out of that draft class

                              You meant to say the best backup point guard in the class right?
