You put faaaaarrrrrrr too much faith in NBA draft probabilities. I'd be interested in the track record of each of the top ten picks, by slot, for the last ten years. Actually, I think we've had something like that posted previously.

Draft picks can be valuable but they're a huge gamble in the NBA. . . moreso than the NFL. We'll see.


Lol what?

The average pick of the starting roster of the 2013 NBA All-Star is the 5th pick overall. The average pick of the backups is the 10th pick overall.

There's not a single individual drafted outside the 1st round in the 2013 All-Star roster. Please do the same kind of comparison for the NFL.

Do you always just make stuff up?

David Lee. 1st pick of 2nd round. Just sayin.

Eta. Last pick of 1st round. Knicks 2nd pick of 1st round. Stand corrected.

You do realize that you're not really addressing my point, much less refuting it, right?

BTW, OKC did catch lightning in a bottle. So? That doesn't mean their "model" works for everybody. Plus, imo, they very well may have gone as far as they're going to go.


ETA: The only relevant issue is the value to the Pelicans of A) Holiday (and, I would argue, Evans, because he signed because of the moves the Pelicans were making) vs, B) an injured, unproven skinny kid with limited experience at Kentucky plus an unknown draft pick outside of the top five next year. Bird in the hand, brah.
