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.

Just look at the Bruin's 2006 draft and that should give you some insight.
Overblown? Moon you've taken one comment and ran with it, trying to police these boards with your insane logic. I don't have any depth to my arguments or rarely use statistics, but here they are. There was a ton of contoversey because of Howard being a High School player and the recent lack of success in drafting players out of there. Many criticized the move and he faced a lot of backlash. That doesn't mean he picked Howard 1st as the 30th ranked prospect. Clearly Howard was going to get drafted high. Much like Mario Williams 1st overall to the Texans. Williams was still going to get drafted #2 but the Texans still took a ton of heat for drafting him #1, even though it was only one above his slot
