Team's find players in weird places who wow them with raw skills, and very quickly other teams catch on. Ultimately, he went in the 4th. So it's not like he was that hot of a prospect. I would have been ok with it if it weren't for the fact that our guards are pretty bad.

And we all saw the evidence of that, so I don't think I'm imagining that problem.
First off there's PLENTY off first round players that don't have all 32 come and physically watch, but could be of interest later and could communicate email phone that's just 17 that showed no telling how many actually reached out

Dude, let it go. I gave no specific percentage of players that get looked at by all 32 teams. I simply said that it happens. So the fact that this particular player had 17 teams look at him, doesn't tell me a whole lot. Scouts drool over "raw" physical tools far more than they do with just plain ol' production. Just because they showed interest doesn't mean he's all that. It's really pretty simple, the point I'm making.

I'm not going out on a limb and predicting his future. I just don't like the odds. I'm wired, philosophically, with more old school opinions. I don't like these buzzing, trendy prospects that show up right at the end. Sometimes you catch a break, and it works out. But not often.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
