(PS: The Supersonics' first-round pick should have been the 28th, I wrote it wrong yesterday.)

The 2008 first-round pick was the only chance the Supersonics had to add depth to their frontcourt through the draft before 2010.

That's because when Yu Fei transferred from the Bucks to the Supersonics, it was through a sign-and-trade deal.

To give some compensation to the Bucks, as part of the trade the Supersonics gave up their first-round picks in 2009 and the right to swap first-round picks in 2010 and 2012.

DeAndre Jordan might have been the best choice for that position.

Although Presti, like everyone else, had his doubts, now that the choice had been made, there was no use thinking about what-ifs.

Later, at the 58th pick in the second round, Presti used it to select Anthony Morrow, a senior guard from Georgia Institute of Technology.

This guy was a full-sized shooting guard with an exceptional shooting touch.
