And we might finally have one big advantage on our side with Cuban. He went to IU. And you know damn well he does weird stuff like that.

Bam at 14 is exactly why the Iztak article on nobody good drafted at 10 is disingenuous from a math/probability perspective. You can't just look at the 10th pick but instead you need to consider the universe of players that could be selected at 10 e.g. Bam could have gone 10th rather than 14, D. Mitchel could have gone 10 rather than 12, Kawhi could have gone 10 rather than 13, you get the point - there are tons of good players picked at 10 or after.
