So much attention is placed on the lack of quality centers in the NBA, but I
think quality PGs are almost just as tough to find. And someone like Ford,
whose primary focus is making his teammates better, is even rarer. There is
absolutely no question the Bucks miss him badly. The record drives that point
home convincingly.

I thought Ford was the best PG in the draft this season. As those in this NG
who were here will tell you, I touted him heavily heading into the draft and
was thrilled when the Bucks took him.The kid's already good and has a very
bright future.
