Tom, did you see the numbers on 2337. They had a respectable OPR of 44 but ranked 33 out of 64 teams. So they can be considered not the best offensive robot. Perhaps it is because they played a lot of defense. But did you see their CCWM number? It was 17.6 and ranked 11th out of 64 teams. 2054 and 67 made a wise choice. I doubt they did it because of the CCWM number, but you cannot deny that the CCWM number supports their scouts' decision. I had always advocated using CCWM as part of the sanity check for 2nd round pick. It does take defense into consideration.
