Yep, we really dodged that bullet last year. Imagine if we had gotten stuck with that Paul guy instead of Webster!



Scouts, GMs, et al, may disagree on who the best player is. That's life. When a team makes a conscious choice to pass on the best available player......that's rank stupidity. Short of a Len Bias type situation, the outcome is going to be ugly.
