But I thin he's also gonna have a plan. A guy like him always has a plan. You have to remember that we've picked mid first round for the last decade. I think in that position you try to amass talent because its hard to find game changers there anyways. Morey has actually done a great job as Guinness pointed out yesterday of finding guys who are important parts of our lineup in the late 1st or second round.


Sometimes his strategy for the earlier first round picks works, sometimes it doesnt. Part of the reason we selected Royce is they saw him as a top 5 talent who had dropped because of other issues. At the time they felt they could be making a nice profit in terms of his value

I think its a good strategy when you have a lot of core pieces. One of the things that strategy has left us with is a glut of underized pfs, that were trying to pawn off for a better pf.

We'll see if he can do it.
