Your analysis is worse than Lacob's moronic public statements. So they got to keep "their" pick. It's the 7th pick, or one pick worse than Epke Udoh (and four worse than the legendary Mke Dunleavy), in a mostly average draft. Of all the supposed "brains", only one has any real history of draft success, and that's West (on a side note, when did Larry Riley suddenly transform into a basketball expert?). Serious, this "victory" is like hitting a jackpot on penny slots that means you break even rather than go home down $200. Given the W's draft history, they should be trading down. Really, Lowell?

He THINKS he is, and that's what is scary. He is not a legitimate basketball mind. He is a clown. He should pull a Jed York and get out of the way and let real basketball people make the decisions. The Logo must laugh inside every time Lacob suggests something to him, since Lacob's only job w/regard to the front office should be to ask the Logo if he takes his coffee with cream and sugar. Lacob should focus instead on trying to get his pipe-dream of a stadium built in SF.
