let's hope this year's 19th pick is of the level of 2001/2000/... with a personality like the 1997 pick

Well Zach Randolph stands out but other then that everyone other 19th pick are just average players in the NBA.

Jamaal Magliore > Zach Randolph

And Rod Strickland in his prime >> Zach Randolph. Hell, if he continues to show growth like he did at the end of the season, then Joey Graham > Zach Randolph, when it's over and done with.

Aleksander Pavlovic, Walter McCarty, Pat Garrity are few good talents that if developed well will become above average and they are like Boris Diaw who struggled because didn't used well. You know, Boris didn't look good in Atlanta.

Ahh I see.. so a chubby guy with a likability factor ..too bad Glen "Big Baby" Davis isn't in this draft

 

[Kings113]

Agreed Slim.

Joey Graham will be a nice player in the league. He's got talent, just was adjusting to the NBA level, while showing some flashes.

Joey Graham was the 16th pick. Hakim Warrick was the 19th pick in 2005.

i love glen davis, he is the man. hes like an american bull dog. Cocky small and bulky but he can back it up with his game.

 

[Gilles]

Toronto picked at #16, not #19. At #19 Memphis picked Warrick.

...Walter McCarty... are few good talents that if developed well will become above average and they are like Boris Diaw who struggled because didn't used well. You know, Boris didn't look good in Atlanta.

Walter is coming off his 10th season, he's not developing he's past his prime. He got plenty of playing time in Boston and was a hustle player who could put up an occasional game changing moment but that's all he is and ever will be.

Pat Garrity is also an 8 year vet.

Basically there's a 15-20% chance of getting a regular contributor, otherwise its 50-50 between getting junk or a capable reserve. I'd expect the odds are slightly better for us given our recent history but hopefully this is a wake up call for those that are convinced we are going to get a meaningful player at 19. Most of the names people have been tossing around are predicted to go by the end of the lottery.
