Paxson, Paxsoff --- What the Paxson brothers did wrong on Thursday night

It's all in the family. It must be.

When two brothers end up following successful NBA careers by acquiring general manager positions with professional clubs, they must be doing something right.

But, when they do the things like they did Thursday, you can tell that they must be related.

Jim Paxson, GM for the Cleveland Cavaliers had the honor of drafted Lebron James, the NBA's new savior.

So, one would think that they would concentrate on their second round pick, the 31st selection in the draft.

But did they? Let's look at what they didn't need, and then look at what they drafted.

The Cavs have enough shooters (Ricky Davis, Dajuan Wagner, James) in their backcourt for an entire team.

Add to that the double-figures that All-Star center Zydrunas Ilgauskas and break-out rookie Carlos Boozer put up last season.

Now don't forget about Darius Miles' style of play.

So, anyone (in their right mind) would think that they don't need a scorer, they would be looking for someone with size to help rebound and play defense. The Cavaliers then drafted Jason Kapono, a 6-8 scorer.

Good to see they spent all this time scouting players for their second pick to add a one-dimensional shooter to the team.

Perhaps his brother John had better luck in Chicago.

With Jay Williams out for at least a year, perhaps Jamal Crawford, arguably the better point guard, will finally get to run the show in Chicago.

And with Jerry Krause gone, perhaps Chicago won't draft another point guard in the lottery and start another unnecessary controversy.

Nope. After getting the only two lottery point guards for the last three years, the Chicago Bulls drafted Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich, instead of the scorer they needed, Mikhael Pietrus.

While I believe that Hinrich is the best point guard in this year's draft, and I believe that he will be an all-star in three years, Chicago will have to move Crawford (who still has great trade value) in a deal for a scorer to make this draft pick valid.

Only then will John be the smartest Paxson. The good news? Since Jim got Lebron, nobody will really notice how bad of an idea it was to draft Jason Kapono.
