Re: the kind of players I'm thinking of

Well, that was before all the kids were coming out, and there really 
weren't any good picks below the top 7 or so. Now the talent level moves 
down about five notches -- the draftees just need more time to 
develop.   The thing is, where do we get our premier big man?  That you 
certainly can't draft unless you're in the lottery, or you have a crystal 
ball. Well, you could draft one 10-15, but he's probably either 18 and 
built like a toothpick and wouldn't help the front line for another 4 years 
or so, or he's big enough but has no skills (yet). So we look for someone 
like, like, like... Lorenzen Wright!  (I'm still pushing him for the Cs).
