    The NBA is kinda funny in that sf's and sg's are usually never picked with the first pick. So I think that most people, even many scouts, considered EG to be a sf and KB to be a pf or future C so hence MJ decision on drafting KB over EG. Drafting overall talent doesn't always win over hard to find Cs (or should I say C's with potential) and PGs or even size in the NBA. I'm sure if people knew then how well EG would play at C and PF in the NBA more teams would have picked him ahead of us(via NJ). This is just my thoughts on it. By the way isn't EG younger than KB? (i'm too tired to look it up)

    EG was predicted to be first pick couple days before draft and also the rumor was that the Hawks loved Eddie. We got reallllly lucky the idiots in the front of the draft made some deals.

    I was an EG doubter, and after watching him play the last few weeks, I can say I was completely WRONG !!

    EG is so smooth, and efficient. The game comes easy to him, most people have to work so hard at the game, but EG just knows how to economize his movements and never get out of control.

    The way he plays is mesmerizing.

    After seeing all this, I am wanting to trade KT now, so that we can start the EG train going down the inevitable road to all star.
