Why not Mario Chalmers?

Have you ever seen Popovich in action? Does he strike anyone as the kind of guy who goes into situations unprepared? C'mon, do you think Pop & RC & co. were sitting there with a stained cocktail napkin from a Holiday Inn that had one name-- B A T U M, N.-- written on it and when Stern announced "Houston chooses Nicolas Batum" Pop & RC & Holt all jumped up in a panic yelling "oh shit! Now What? Oh, dammit we forgot to have a plan B or C or D!!" I'd bet they were well prepared and had half a dozen names after Hill too.

If I trust anybody to pass on a KU player it'd be RC. I'm sure he watched nearly every KU game this year because of the obvious connection in addition to the fact that his son is a bench warmer for them. If the Spurs liked a KU player and someone else equally I'd be willing to bet the KU player would get picked. Clearly that wasn't the case here.

Draft grades are worthless period, but that's even more true from groups or individuals that do a mock draft.

The formula is simple, teams that draft players that you projected to go higher get As and Bs. Teams that draft players that you projected to go lower get Cs, Ds, and Fs.

This is true almost without exception.

same idea
i think if the spurs pass on chalmers they really think he isn't that good to make the roster
he slide to the 2nd round so maybe he wasn't so impressive
we'll see how he'll turn out in miami

maybe RC is finally coming to the understanding that Jayhawks are a lesser form of life than the rest of the population.

How are draft grades stupid?

Charlotte Bobcats

Picks: Picks: Adam Morrison (3); Ryan Hollins (50)

A

The Bobcats made out with what is certainly the best player in the draft right now, as well as possibly the best player down the road as well. Adam Morrison fills their needs perfectly on the wing with his scoring ability and should be a perfect compliment to Gerald Wallace’s versatility

Always, always accept draft grades. They are spot on.

The scribe of the original post displeases George Hill.
However, George Hill is a very understanding George Hill. George Hill will spare you, so that you may see the error in your ways upon witnessing George Hill's first game as a Spur.
