You know, I'm the biggest draft pick fan on the planet, and even I struggle to see the value in NBA second rounders.

I just glanced at the 2012 NBA Draft and recognized -maybe- six rotation guys from the second round. There's one homerun in Draymond Green, who I said all along was worthy of a lottery pick. Beyond that, the upside range is somewhere between Will Barton and Khris Middleton.

a second rounder won rookie of the year last year! other second rounders: marc gasol, hassan whiteside, deandre jordan, isaiah thomas, paul millsap... - x Nov 27, 13:30 3
- also, khris middleton is really good!....nm - x Nov 27, 13:34 2
  - He is. My point is that the lower range is a DNPCD or an eighth man in a rotation. The high range is a solid role player/fringe NBA starter. - David Nov 27, 13:35 1
    - it's much more likely that as jahlil okafor has already shown that he isn't that good that he'll also never get much better... - x Nov 27, 13:39
Agreed. I'd be fine with BK giving up yet another draft pick for him. -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 27, 13:27 6
- he can't defend. he can't shoot threes. the game has passed him by....nm -- (edited) - x Nov 27, 13:31 4
  - I heard Kyrie Irving can't defend, either... -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:37 3
    - tied for 8th in the league in steals!....nm - x Nov 27, 13:41 2
      - Then put Okafor under Brad Stevens rather than a team that wasn't trying to win when he played for them. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:44 1
        
        we want no part of him. we run a motion offense!....nm - x Nov 27, 13:45
- Well, he's young. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 27, 13:29
