    i would say that brookes is controlling the game more and is playing at the level he needs to. Landry has improved in OFF rebounding and dunks. i think carl needs to work more on blocks, post D and Defencive rebounding. ;)

    I think we actually did pretty good in that draft for the first time in a while.

    2005, on the other hand, was a disaster. We took Head while the following players were still available:

    Monta Ellis
    Jason Maxiell
    Linas Kleiza
    David Lee
    Brandon Bass
    CJ Miles
    Ronny Turiaf
    Louis Williams
    Andray Blatche
    Ryan Gomes
    Amir Johnson


    Wow, CD and any other decision-makers blew that draft big time. I wonder what Morey would have done.

    At least, we didn't draft Bogut with No.1 pick. it doesn't make any difference whether it's head or any other guy on this list. We needed a smart PG like CP3 or Williams, but both of them had been drafted far before.

    Buck's GM lost his conciousness the moment he made the decision to draft Bogut. he realized CP3 was still availible after he came to, but that was too late. Bogut had already weared his their green cap.

    It fits right in with the Rocket's strategy! We LOVE shrimpy players who are good at only one thing and horrible at everything else.

    MAN... seeing that disappoints me heaps.... monte ellis would bring a championship to H town if we had him... (not saying we won't get it anyway but he would make it a sure thing.)

    No I completely disagree, the Bucks had Mo Williams/TJ Ford and they had a big man depth that consisted of Dan Gadzuric and........noone else.

    Go figure

    Seeing that both of these guys are actually in the rotation and critical to our team, I would have to say that we did pretty well drafting them. At first, I was skeptical with both of these picks, but they have won me over the way they go out there and give it their all.

    These guys work very well together. I think whenever possible they should have their minutes come at the same time on the floor.
