How did we draft 4 PG's in 2009 and all but one is still playing in the NBA? The one we actually kept in 2009. So sad.

The ghost of David Kahn will haunt this franchise for years to come!

Not only that Bleed, but pretty much anyone OTHER than Jonny Flynn at PG that draft would have been a better pick. Curry, Holiday, Lawson, Mills, Calathes, etc. In hindsight, we couldn't have made worse pick at that slot.

Pat Beverly too. Hell of a defender and rebounder at the point guard position.

The irony is that Flynn was supposedly the guy that no one had a big problem with. People had bigger questions about Rubio, yet you had guys like David Aldridge compare Flynn to Chris Paul.

The question with Flynn was how good could he have been had he not injured his hip? He was decent for a rookie on a bad team but was never the same after getting hurt. Had he not lost the quickness and agility he may have been a good NBA player, not Curry like, but good none the less.

I agree. He is also played in the worst system and had a horrible coach that year too.

C'mon Steph is a one-dimensional player. All he can do is shoot.
/wait, what? he also leads the league in assists? oh.
