dats really not fair and kinda funny cuz nobody was crying after channing frye, everybody knew we was picking channing frye and after his rookie season we believed he was going be a great player, imagine andrew bynum in his first couple of years in NY, NY would have destroyed the kid, he was a work in progress and face it NY isnt a place where u develop players, also its easy to say "oh, so and so was picked when we could have this player", dats really not fair at all, it happens every year
Isiah's scouting has proved decent with Lee and Chandler

Like I said, it's my opinion. I have reasons to my opinion. I'm not pulling stuff out of mid air. I liked Channing Frye when he was on the Knicks. I thought he was a good shooter. I would prefer him over Eddy Curry, because he works harder on his game than Eddy Curry. But Andrew Bynum, Danny Granger, and Rashad McCants are better than him. Danny Granger actually has better college stats than Frye, so my statements are fair. You may not agree with them, but my statements are fair.
Here's the stats:
Danny Granger's college stats: 18.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2 blocks
Channing Frye's college stats: 15.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 blocks
Like I said, it's my opinion. You don't have to agree with them. I'm not trying to attack Channing Frye, if that's what you think. I'm attacking Isiah Thomas, because I think he could've done better in the draft. The fact that the Trailblazers have Lamarcus Aldridgre and we don't is proof. Do you remember that little accident Isiah Thomas had with the Chicago Bulls for Eddy Curry?
yeah i agree wit u but comin out of college channing frye was known as a defender, his offense wasnt really known cuz salim stoudamire ran the team and he's a straight gunner, channing frye just seemed like the guy we desperately need on a defensive end but isiah was wrong, it happens
Yeah, it does happen. The Hawks did pass up on Chris Paul. lol That's going to haunt them forever.

Think about schools though. Frye at Arizona and Granger from New Mexico.
Plus the whole Salim thing that was mentioned before.
You do have a point. Frye was at a more prestigious college. I thought Arizona Reid should have been drafted this year. He averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds, at only 6-5. I thought he would've made a good NBA small forward. A lot of people criticize him for his lack of height and the fact that he went to Highpoint University, but I think he would've made a good NBA player.

Not even worth an effort on articulating a bunch of sentences to make you understand reality.

Bynum should of been selected.
Frye was a junior or senior, with limited potential.
Good jumpshot, terrible at everything else.
He wasn't worth the 8th pick.
Bynum atleast had size and shot blocking, which is what we needed. Even a Raw Bynum > Frye.
Frye is now a 3rd string big man where Bynum is going to be a beast for the Lakers in the future.
JUST a TERRIBLE pick.
I hated it from the beginning, people had to be stupid from the beginning and now to actually be cool with the pick.
Dudes need to do their research.
YOU DONT PICK 3RD STRING BIG MEN WITH THE 8TH PICK
FRYE'S SUCCESS CAME OFF OF MARBURY'S ABILITY TO USE THE PICK AND ROLL FOR FRYE. /THREAD

i wonder who Thomas would have selected in this years draft???
portega1968
El Cacique
he would've selected another Indiana product (Eric Gordon)... who IMO is headed down the same road as JJ Reddick
Gallinari is a good pick... only Bayless will make us think twice

Benchwarmer
He probably would have traded it away for an overpaid one dimensional role player. :barf:
You gotta look at his reasons why he picked the guys he did when he was on the Knicks..if someone can find that out then youd prob get ur answer
