    Likely an incoming bust

    Fingers crossed that Mauri can draft someone who we can retain past his rookie contract

    13th pick? Hey, we still have a shot at #12 if we tank the rest of the way.

    BTW, for those of you who think a #13 pick can't help this team much, keep in mind some guy named Kobe Bryant was once picked at #13 by Charlotte before being traded to the Lakers.

    Hell, we took Richard Jefferson at #13 back in 2001 before packaging him with 2 other picks for Eddie Griffin.

    It'll be a bust and if it isn't, Morey will let him walk or trade him as an asset.

    You repeating this over and over gets really annoying. Yeah, he missed on Morris and White (mid first round picks don't always pan out!). But you ignore his hits, Capela, Parsons, Landry, Brooks, Dmo, and, although he's fallen off this year, Jones was a good 18th pick. Trez has upside, and Morey is great at maintaining flexibility and has real foresight.

    One disastrous season doesn't completely take away from the years of success Morey has had.

    You're cherry picking. First of all, Jones was not a good pick. Not a complete bust necessarily, but he's a mediocre NBA player who won't be here next year. D-Mo had 3/4 of a good season, but he's been a complete non-factor the rest of the time. Certainly you can chalk some of that up to bad luck due to his back injury, but regardless, he's been a disappointment overall.

    As to the rest of your list, Capela has promise, but the jury's still out on him. Parsons was a steal in the 2nd round, although he's not here anymore. Landry and Brooks were solid, but again, no longer here(at least Brooks temporarily netted us Dragic though). There's no way we can evaluate Montrezl yet. Too little playing time.

    Who does that leave? Patrick Patterson? Good player, but again, no longer here. Jeremy Lamb helped get us Harden, so I guess he was a good pick in that regard. We drafted Batum, but traded him immediately. We drafted Mirotic, but traded him for D-Mo. Canaan was ok, but he's no longer here. Dekker looks like a potential bust.

    Honestly, this is not an impressive record by Morey.
