This guy is a solid pick. Best guess is Brewer and Jones are gone. Llull is here and Smith gets resigned and you have options available if a nice piece can be added bit do what you can to keep current team together

Really? I see Decker as NBA ready compared to some of the more high ceiling/raw players in the draft Morey usually targets. I see him having an immediate role.
Whether I like him or not doesn't matter anymore. The guy is a Rocket now, and I can hope for at this point is that he lives up his potential.

Confused I'm a fan of both draft selections from last year... So am I to understand that no one has any faith in the potential of Nick Johnson to start? All these calls for a PG when we have Nick and possibly Lull on the way... And do u really think McHale will play a rookie at PG?
