Decision ----- Then ----- Now

hiring Woody ------- B -------- C - it was a good move at the time and the one we could afford

not firing Woody --- n/a --- n/a - he tried at the right time and was blocked

Diaw -------- ? --------- ? - your a+ means he was a good pick? I don't have an opinion on this one

Pryzbilla gone---- n/a -------- n/a when you clean house you clean house. i don't think we were building around pryz

Smoove --------- B ----------- A+ agree

Chillz ----------- B ----------- B not bk's fault he left. he's a good player and a good pick

Zaza ------------ A ----------- A big man on the cheap.

JJ ---------- B+ -------- A+

Marvin -------- B --------- D- ok i'll go with yours

Speedy ------- C- ---------- F - hard to fault him for injuries plus he supposedly could be playing now

Selim -------- B- ----------- F - this was one pick most seemed excited about

AJ -------- B ----------- A - AJ we got for nothing and really stabilized us. Bibby was the biggest reason we made the playoffs but AJ's play early maybe was second.

Shelden ------- D+ ---------- F- (expel from school) - terrible. worst move by far but how many believe this was BK's choice. not me.

Bibby ---------- A+ ---------- A+ how giving up nothing for a player of Bibby's caliber doesn't warrant an A+ I don't know

Horford -------- B+ --------- A+

Acie ------------- B ---------- Incomplete. Rondo was on the board or am i confused?

Calderon ------- A+ -------- A+ (veto from owner)

What are your grades? Am I missing any major decision?

Harrington trade maybe should have brought back a player but we did get a good pick. We gave away Walker but that's a bigger feat than other teams have accomplished.

Macdaddy, Law and Rondo did not come out of college the same year.

Pryzbilla gone---- B- -------- F

Smoove --------- A ----------- A+

What are your grades? Am I missing any major decision?

Interesting post. I question the Marvin grade. If giving him a D- is based solely on his play, no way he's borderline failing. If the D- represents passing on the you know who's for him, then I agree.

Right. I meant Stuckey. I always forget which was in which draft. Although we passed on Rondo too the year before.
