Let's see if his later round picks start turning out in spades. His trades seem 50/50 and his contract signings are pretty dismal.

Overall i think i would be displeased if I were a nucks fan!
This is besides the point, but it is annoying when fans and observers choose to ignore the quality of a pick on the basis of the player being the best available.

Simply put: if a general manager and his scouting staff shoulder the blame for all of their poor picks, then they definitely deserve the credit for their successful picks.

... and Jim Benning is no good.
