Dear Mr. Griffin: Please be good! We as the ever-dwindling number of NBA fans are tired of seeing #1 picks wasted. We are tired of highly praised, lottery big men consistently underperforming, especially in a league that is so short on imposing post players that an aging, borderline obese Shaquille Oneal is still as dominating as anyone under the basket. Mr. Griffin, for the sake of fans everywhere, for all those who are done with the most exciting thing about an NBA telecast being what Marv Albert's hair looks like, we implore you please, please be good!
As it stands I feel that Indiana may have gotten the steal of this years draft. Who says that a strong, athletic, hard worker can't be a star. Tyler Hansbrough is more talented than people think, and he can only get better. With his work ethic he could surprise alot of people in the league, including the GM's who past on him. He is already a better rebounder and as good a blocker at his size than Thabeet and guess what, he can score! He has that elusive mid-range game that can flourish in an NBA environment. The spurs also somehow got 3 first round talents all in the second round. All 3 of their picks can be immediate contributors off the bench.
As far as the Home Team, the Bobcats definitely made the most of the 12th pick by snatching Blue Devil Gerald Henderson. Henderson with his B-ball DNA is the most athletic choice of this years draft. He can be an instant game changer and should soon find his way into Larry Browns starting line up. The two G's, Henderson and Wallace have a decent chance of getting the Cats to here first playoff appearance.
