Our drafting has been pretty poor, I will admit. But a big part of that has been trading away a bunch of pics and being good enough that our draft position is rarely very good anyway. We did get Josh Howard late in the first, while not great player he was instrumental in our 2006 run. I think the most recent draft was one of the better ones we've had in a long time. Haven't seen enough of Cunningham to make a real judgement but what I've seen from Crowder (he should be used more as a slasher and defensive option than 3 point specialist IMHO) and James (no idea why he's not seeing more floor time, our best post defender in the limited time he's played) has certainly been promising.
