look, i want to see amir play as much as the next guy, and i think he should be getting some minutes since we're also developing stuckey and afflalo, but i'm not going to put so much blind faith in his abilities and exaggerate about how his career is being 'ruined.' |
Amir was passed up by all those teams due to his academic record. It has been said that otherwise, he was a lottery pick type prospect. Further, a lot of people have said that due to Amir's showing in the D-League last season, Amir would be a lottery pick in this past draft if he was in the draft.
