(Nene was drafted, then traded by the Knicks. Linas Kleiza was drafted and traded by Portland)
But my gripe is, couldn't we have traded our No. 1 pick for someone better than Johan Petro — the French Steven Hunter? We already have the American Steven Hunter on our roster.
Here's my list of five players who could've been better options:
1. F-C Channing Frye, Portland
As a rookie, he averaged 12.3 ppg and 5.8 rpg for the Knicks. Since then, he's been moved further down the bench, now providing about 12 mpg for the TrailBlazers. He's a good sized, quick power forward/center who would provide quality minutes off the bench.
2. F Reggie Evans, Philadelphia
A monstrous rebounder who used to play for the Nuggets. Although he's on 6'8", he plays like he's much bigger.
3. F-C Francisco Elson, Milwaukee
A lanky vet who will provide valuable minutes and consistant play.
4. F-C Ronny Turiaf, Golden State
He'll block, he'll rebound, he'll score. Solid total who would instantly provide help off the bench.
5. C David Harrison, free agent
Yeah, he moves like molasses. But this former CU star is a solid defender and a prototypical center who could bang inside with the best of them.
