Excellent work signing Billups to a very reasonable contract at just the right amount of years.

Pulled the trigger and kept Amir. Screwing that up would have been unforgivable.

Stucky looks to be a steal who will fill a perfect niche for us- the role Flip jr. was supposed to fill last year.

I was supportive, but lukewarm, on the Afflalo pick. After seeing how this team is shaping up, I'm very pleased with him. He's a top notch defender who looks like he can lock down all three perimeter postions. He does everything well, and although he struggled with his shot over a few games in Vegas, anybody who watched him play in college knows that won't consistently be the case in the future. Gotta love the way this kid competes.

Mejia looks like a solid prospect, which all you can ask for in a second round pick.

He still has some decisions to make, mainly what to do with Flip jr., but I'm pretty happy so far.

Grade: B
