Message: [QUOTE="Ghost, post: 2563850, member: 581"] I think everyone discounts the 1 or 2 game theory too much. It has some effect. GMs aren't infallible - and they're not the ONLY ones making the decision. Look at Anthony Bennett, that GM got fired over that pick, and if you read the articles he was the only person in Cleveland that wanted nothing to do with picking him. All it takes is one dude that see the game, see the track record, and says, well, maybe that game isn't an anomaly. Maybe I got my eyes on white Steph Curry!!!! I don't know - all of a sudden that kid that was nowhere near your draft board may seem more unappealing than those late lottery, mid-teen dudes that you're all lukewarm on. UPSIDE! And you only gotta sell a few people on the might be white Steph Curry! Salesmanship! I'm sure it's happened plenty of times. [/QUOTE]
