Really grasping at straws here to try and justify the TT selection. Jonas absolutely should have been the pick and it sucks because a lot of us knew it even at the time. There is enough data now to backup this colossal mistake. Sure we didn't whiff completely and got a guy that can contribute, but it was quite obvious to most people at the time that Jonas should have been the selection. We are still looking for that center and unless a miracle happens and we land top 2, we most likely won't get an ideal center.
This has been brought up a million times, but you don't take a high pick and use it on a powerforward that can't score. It is the easiest position to fill in the NBA bar none, serviceable power forwards are available every year later in the draft. Centers just aren't available and all things being equal you take the center every time, in this case it was much worse because the center was more talented by quite a wide margin to boot.
