A bad team gets worse.

Diop's a project who shouldn't have made the NBA until he was more than potential. Kwame is doing a little better than he was last year, but still hasn't justified his selection as the first overall pick in 2001. If Kwame was like Shawn Kemp, selected 17th overall by a team that was already a low playoff seed, it wouldn't be so bad. He would be an interesting choice, a sensible project, and expectations would be lower.

The same goes for Diop. If he was a low first round or early second round pick, it wouldn't be so bad. As it stands, he's a wasted lottery pick that could have been used on someone...anyone...who could be contributing more than he's able to contribute. Tony Parker comes to mind.

or Zach Randolph or Gilbert Arenas but the truth is i don't blame them...they r way too like the other teams now..going for potential instead of instant contribution...
