For example, Lebron saying Shabazz Napier was his favorite pick in the 2014 draft.

I once proclaimed The Simmons & Embid duo was going to be more dangerous than Stockton & Malone.

    Fellas I was wrong about:

    Anthony Randolph Michael Beasley Wes Johnson/DeMarcus Cousins (was relieved the Wolves didn’t draft Cousins at the time) Randy Foye Klay Thompson Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (funniest shot ever)

    I remember being sure Acie Law and Chris Douglas-Roberts would be longtime nba contributors. Tbf they both got on with teams for awhile at least. Not one truly spectacular story, but this reminiscing is making me realize that simply by knowing about guys and having thoughts about them, I become considerably more wrong than I’d be if I just never even heard of them.

      I still think Acie Law got fucked over by the Hawks coaching staff. They didn’t really develop anyone as well as they should have in the mid aughts.
