Though we didnt draft JO, Walsh was still smart enough to see the talent he has and manage to get JO for Dale Davis (one of the best trades made of all time)

Man, what might have been down in Bloomington if Josh Smith had actually joined DJ White in that recruiting class.

with picks like Granger at 17, Reggie Miller at 11, and trading for JO who rode the bench in Portland for 4 years, its fair to say the Pacer scouts have a good eye for talent. I dont mind when we get picks like 14th and 17th, b/c we can make the most out of them (though a lottery pick would be much nicer)

Gotta go with Kemp here... JO is 3rd, only behind Kemp and Sharman.

cool find. i wondered that once myself.

bucky bockhorn? man, that's horrible. you couldn't make that up. and doug christie? wtf? he shouldn't have even made the list IMO.

What?? Doug Christie shouldn't have made the list? The dude was a very very good defender, maybe the best in the league during his prime. He should have been higher, IMO, 6th or so...

And Granger's career so far >>>>>>>> Bockhorn's entire career.

Granger should be at 7 or 8, even with just his three years in the league.

i was making fun of bockhorn's name, not his career. i never even heard of the guy.

Christie wasn't overrated.
