No Doubting Thomas
Comments on his two picks, from ESPN Draft Expert Chad Ford:
Renaldo Balkman? He plays with great energy and is a great athlete, but he averaged fewer than 10 points per game at South Carolina. No other team would’ve taken him in the first round. He has no skills other than running the floor — think of a poor man’s Darius Miles. He would’ve been a decent second round pick — a guy who might have made a roster. Wow.
Mardy Collins? He doesn’t have a position, is a below average NBA athlete, and he can’t shoot. And he’s the Knicks’ sixth combo guard. Let’s just get it over with — Isiah’s getting an “F.”
Put another way, from my friend Brett, via text:
Who the fuck is Renaldo Balkman?
Isiah is the biggest wild card in sports. It’s like having someone’s girlfriend in your fantasy football league, because you needed an even number of teams. Never know what she’s gonna do, or even if she’s paying attention.
