Kahn did a lot of swinging for the fences with his moves but not that one. I was very torn on that pick and I am not actually ripping Kahn for not taking Cousins. I would have had a hard time deciding what to do of I had been in his shoes based on the info I had at the time and remember the Wolves had Pek and Love at the time also. Of course it turns out even if Pek would have stayed healthy all 3 of those guys could have probably played with each other. What hurts more than the guys we passed up is that Flynn Wes and Williams were basically worthless to this team they weren't even trade assets. Oddly out of all of them the guy that brought back the most was Flynn.
Don't forget Big Al was still there and at that point most were convinced that pairing couldn't work. Pek wasn't there yet, so theoretically they coulda had Jefferson, Love, Cousins, and Pek on the team at the same time without a stitch of defense.
