When you look back on his picks they weren't bad at the time and rarely was there a better player taken all that close to the guy he chose.
The fact he drafted Nash alone makes him a better GM than Howson.

Agreed, he could've used some top 3 picks. The funny thing about Columbus is that I don't think any of their non-1st round picks have ever made any meaningful impact. I can't think of a home-grown player that has made a significant contribution outside of Nash. You'd think one of their 2nd,3rd,4th,etc rd picks would have made it after all these years.
