You can't be this bad at the draft :damn:

He's been a GM for as long as I've been alive and he's drafted ONLY TWO All Stars!! John Wall and Michael Redd

How the hell did he make one of the best picks in the 2nd round in one of the worst drafts in history :wtf:

Eh...hard to second guess yourself here. Klay was not a blow away, cant miss talent by a long shot. He was a very questionable prospect coming out of college. Hes not a great athlete, had poor footwork, almost non-existent d, limited handles, was inefficient and inconsistent on offense...his ceiling seemed at very best to be a Jason Kapono type, and his deficiencies had "wont transition to the NBA" written all over it. I remember GS fans being underwhelmed with the pick when it happened.

Picking him at 6 would have been crazy, and might have put undue pressure on him that hindered his development. He kinda flew under the radar in GS, and was put into a great situation, with the right organization, and beat the odds. He might not have developed like this on the Wizards. Clap for him...the real problem in all this is drafting an unmitigated bust in Vessly or whatever the fukk his damn name is.

I saw Klay play a couple of times in college. He was good, but I wasn't like "that guy is going to be one of the best 2s in the NBA"
