what?...hold on..Im the dude with the 11th pick....lol
flyingmoose - FWIW, Chris Paul is not one of my fav players...and if thats what you read into it - then youre reading a different language.
I felt like I justified my pick well - and it had nothing to do with being a homer or whatever...it was stats and facts mixed in with some calculated and educated future predictions, nothing but.
I could go back and pick Stockton or Malone to make you happy, but I thnk CP3 is more valuable then both of them...and to be honest - I dont see Malone (or Stockton) having the great careers they had if it werent for playing with each other. And unfortunaley - in this draft - theres a good chance they will not be on the same team (possibly diminishing the value of one (malone), if not both)
