They're pretty high on him on ESPN
Not doubting that national media outlets are high on DJO, or that they shouldn't be, but it's funny how he goes to Los Angeles and he blows up on the radar. Had he been selected by Minnesota, my guess is very few people would be talking. Funny how it goes.
I believe it is called "major market" ... the same would have happened had DJO been selected by the Knicks. Imagine if Jae Crowder had been selected in a major market ... he would be off the proverbial (media) charts.
Thank you for your continued great work. You certainly have proven to have major market talent!

Wait. Dallas isn't a major market?
They must really want DJO. They paid Dallas $500,000 just to have the pick for him.

Their GM said they had him rated in the 30s, so they clearly thought highly of him.
Did they really write, "Oddly for someone with such hops, DJO was somewhat poor at finishing near the rim..."?
Maybe they didn't see this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz8NVaAXoQs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz8NVaAXoQs)
I think they mighta confused No. 1 with No. 2.
(And no, that's not a toilet joke.)
