Re: NBA Draft Lottery Projections Update

Who are the center & point in the coming draft that are going to help us
within 3 years ? I agree you don't trade for role players, but that is where
talent evaluation comes in. We don't need any more projects, we need help
now.


I don't see any Jason Kidd, Gary Payton or Shaq's on the horizon.  Maybe a
Montross, Olowokandi, Reeves, Mihm  or two.
