  1. 0:27 "I always find it funny, year by year, there are the analysts that say that it's a bummer draft class" … "and years later we're seeing all the potential in those players that were projected to be bummers or duds"

    I like looking at the 2014 draft at guys drafted 25 or later

    25th pick: Clint Capella
    27th pick: Bogdan Bogdanovic
    30th pick: Kyle Anderson
    33rd pick: Joe Harris
    38th pick: Spencer Dinwiddie
    39th pick: Jerami Grant
    41st pick: Nikola Jokic
    45th pick: Dwight Powell (Canadian)
    46th pick: Jordan Clarkson

    also just for conversation's sake of players still in the playoffs that were drafted in the 2014 that I saw
    #4 Aaron Gordon
    #6 Marcus Smart

    also last note:
    and you probably know this, but during our championship season our highest drafted player was Kawhi at #15

    2 of our starters (Marc Gasol and Danny Green) were 2nd round picks (46th and 48th picks in their draft years)

  2. you brought up wanting Olynyk (a Canadian)

    If it were possible, I would want Dillon Brooks on the team. He's labelled "Mr. Controversial", because he said Lebron was old (which he is, despite the fact the guy can still jump out of the gym at 38)

    What are your thoughts about Dillon Brooks?

    Also since this topic is about where players were drafted, Brooks was drafted in between our 2 championship starters Danny Green and Gasol (46 and 48) at the 45th pick.

    edit: ok, my math is terrible, somehow my brain thought 45 was inbetween 46 and 48
