Look at how bad our draft picks were in that time. No wonder we had a **** time in 2000-01, and only good pick ups since that time are starting to shine through now to give us hope.
I knew we didn't draft well in that time, but i thought we had gotten more than what we did there. I've never looked at it in such a plain list before, and that really makes it obvious just why we had that period of real crapness.
