so if they had the #1, they should have taken russell over towns? just because they already had a center? how would that have worked out?

if okafor was the highest rated player on their board then it made sense to take him where they did. they could have traded him the summer after his rookie season. or the February of his rookie season. or the day they drafted him.

they just waited too long to trade him.

it doesn't make any sense to say, hey we need a point guard, let's take the best one available, even though we have 10 players at other positions ranked higher than him.
