I have educated myself on his background and have yet to see the clear cut examples of why he is given carte blanche by many here to just be trusted in the picks.
And the "backlash" that he recieved is very much overblown here. It was a 50/50 split so some liked Okafor some liked Howard. It wasn't a controversial pick, it wasn't an out of the box pick and it wasn't that unexpected of a pick.
