You are valuing a 6 year veteran based upon where he was drafted????  That statement can be made for anyone not living up to their contract/draft position.  It's also meaningless.

I am, of course, judging a 6 year veteran based upon his injury history and ability to stay on the court. He was a very good player. Players who are sitting on the court in Street Clothes, soaking up the salary cap when not playing or hobbling around on court when they are, are less valuable. Right now, he's another team's problem. My opinion is, don't waste time thinking about Ball. Think about available players who are available to play at an NBA level, regardless of where they were drafted, or if they were drafted.
