That's right. Blame it all on me!
We had that discussion after pick #48 (Shawn Kemp), and I thought Moncrief wasn't yet in the picture. I suggested, if you were going to trade up, to do it for Deron instead, who ended up going at #49 vs #60 for Squidney. I guess I underestimated how high he'd go, but I still think Deron was the better choice if you were going to trade up, especially to play with Shaq.
