the ESPN guys didn't even talk about what he means for the Suns. Just that Bower always had a ***** for him.
Ugh... on the bright side, we normally get really good draft grades, but then the players end up sucking... we definitely aren't going to get a good grade this year so maybe the player will actually work out.

Another Bower ***** Bust?
“But Bower was terrible at evaluating talent. In 2006 he drafted Hilton Armstrong and Cedric Simmons with top-15 picks. Both were busts. That season he passed on Thabo Sefolosha, PJ Tucker, and Paul Millsap.
In 2007, he took Julian Wright, who had no discernible basketball skills, over Rodney Stuckey, Nick Young, Marco Belinelli, Jared Dudley, Wilson Chandler, Arron Affalo, Glen Davis, and Marc Gasol.
The next year he drafted and traded Darrell Arthur for cash, when New Orleans could have taken DeAndre Jordan.
And in 2010, his final draft yielded Cole Aldrich.
That kind of failure in the draft kills a team like New Orleans, especially when the owner, George Shinn, was tightening the budget each season.
So two years after making the semis, the Hornets were back in the lottery.”

There is no other team this incompetent. If any other team had made this pick I would have been worried they were picking for the Suns.
Here is what I sent my account executive after today and the "Meet the GM, Coach, and Draft pick"
Hello *****
Please cancel these tickets. After today, we won’t be attending these events.
I wish you luck in the future.
I'm a North Carolina guy and love Cam but not this early. Wow I'm in total shock we picked a SF speechless
Good for you I would have done the same

we're the NBA equivalent of Matt Millen's Detroit Lions who kept drafting WRs every year in the first round.
Quick response
I won’t be changing my mind
Please don’t waste your time inviting me to these things in the future.
