New Orleans eagerly scooped Nickeil Alexander-Walker at No. 17, some members of its scouting department having ranked him as high as fourth on their boards.

This is the point "chad ford had this guy as a second rounder! We could have waited" guy never gets. You don't know what the boards of actual scouts look like.

That's why the whole "this guy is moving up boards fast!" meme always cracks me up.

No he isn't. The amateur draftniks are catching up to where the scouts already have guys rated...and every team has very different boards.

. New Orleans hopes Williamson is merely one rookie of three lottery-level newcomers, like any good parent refusing to pick a favorite. “If you start there, and Zion is just one of that ‘recruiting class,’ then what you hope, if you get really lucky, if you’re successful, they become our Tim [Duncan], Manu [Ginobili] and Tony [Parker] that lay the groundwork for what it means to be one of us 11 years from now,” Griffin says. “And Jrue, JJ and Derrick are gonna be the ones that teach these kids what it is today. You hope it’s something that continues to feed itself.”

Good to see many of the mistakes made with AD won't be repeated. We were always like the insecure fat chick trying to please someone out of her league
