out of it at this point. The guys they did take have no 
value-NONE-so they can't sort it out with trade.

Why not blame every GM equally for passing up Tinsley and 
Parker until the 27th pick?

Your jumping to conclusions big time here. 

You ought to hold the teams that picked ahead of us by 
the same standards. 

How are Kwame Brown, Rodney White, Tyson Chandler, Eddie 
Curry, Sagana Diop doing as rookies? Those guys ride the 
bench on horrible teams, not playoff teams.

If you aren't writing off any of those top-ten picks (you 
probably shouldn't), don't write off our kids either. 
Much of the cream will eventually rise to the top.

This "look what happened in the draft" argument is really 
jumping the gun at this stage in the game. Even knowing 
what we know after half a season, I'm not sure I would 
have anything except the 21st pick any differently. 

And even Forte is going to show something I'd bet (maybe 
not in Boston). Just give it time.

The Kedrick injury is bit of a shame. It could have been 
Kedrick, not Jason Richardson, coming off All Star 
weekend as the dunk champ and with a starting job. That 
was an untimely setback for him. 

At least he and JJ are coming along compared to over half 
the players drafted ahead of them. Give them all a little 
of your patience instead of singling just our guys out as 
dart board picks.
