Andy Rautins
In my draft night recap, his is what I wrote about Andy Rautins.
If [Rautins] comes into the Dan Tony system, hits a few threes, and maybe cranks off a couple of 20 point nights, maybe it will look like the pick is a good thing. But that honestly won't change much. There are a great many quality shooters in this world, if not a great many in this draft, and they need to be able to do more than just shoot. Rautins can't.
Andy Rautins is small for a two guard, underwhelmingly athletic, can't defend one on one, and does literally nothing in the paint. He shot only 56 two pointers in 35 games, panics as soon as he gets into the paint (even on the break), and only got to the line 81 times because he was often the team's designated foul shooter down the stretch. All he can do is shoot threes, make some nice passes, and defend in the zone. And this guy is drafted ahead of Solomon Alabi and Stanley Robinson? In fact, this guy is drafted at all? I love Rautins, truly and deeply, but this is not an NBA calibre player
To make matters worse, Stu Scott mentions that Rautins and his dad Leo have matching tattoos. To make matters worse still, Stu Scott then says this is "very tight." This was a low point of the draft, ladies and gentlemen. Let's not talk about it.
In college, Andy Rautins was my favourite player on my favourite team. I recognise his awesomeness. But I don't see the NBA talent. Good luck to him, though; this is the best place for him.

Pick 38: With their first pick in the draft, the Knicks make the draft's first unbelievable pick, picking Syracuse guard Andy Rautins at #38. Desperately needing cheap NBA calibre players to round out a roster that doesn't even have a core yet, the Knicks had a prime opportunity to get one, and yet they didn't get an NBA calibre player. And I say this as one of the world's biggest Andy Rautins fans.
