Gani Lawal will be PF prospect that prob wouldn't make an immediate impact as he's very raw, but could have a very bright future. he also may return to school for another year

I've seen Hill going about 10-12 if he is there I say we get him because he would immediately come in and backup LA at the 4. If it takes moving up to 5 to get him though it's not worth it cause he lacks an offensive game. most mocks have him going 4th to 6th. but its simply bc this draft is weak at PF after Blake. actually, its a very weak draft class overall

i really like Jonny Flynn (and not just after the 6 OT game), i've enjoyed watching him play since a freshman and i think he's got loads of talent, just needs to improve decision making. his size will hurt him as well

Agreed that it is a very weak draft. As bad as the 2000 draft I think.

Someone said they wouldn't mind editing something earlier...not sure if u were serious... but here is a paragraph. i dont expect anyone to actually edit it..but if someone feels ambitious give a lil feedback? thanks haha. SPOLIER ALERT! Kite Runner With the use of symbols, Hosseini unites Amir’s past with the present. Amir’s past is filled to the brim with horrible, sophomoric, and disgusting actions that he do. And as hard as Amir tries to run away from and forget his past, it is impossible to do so. People can never truly, fully escape their path by running away, because they will always remember it and it will always weigh them down on the inside. Running makes a continual appearance throughout the book and ends up being a key symbol. Towards the beginning, Amir admits “Hassan ran faster than (he) did” and that “(He) wasn’t just slower than Hassan but clumsier too” (53). Amir had “always envied his natural athleticism” (53). After many horrible events take place and a rift forms between Amir and Hassan, Amir learns for the first time that running away from problems does not relieve the pain. Every time Amir tries to escape the pain, the guilt always catches up to him. Until after his foreboding quest, he will never be able to move on with a happy life. Not until all the events in Afghanistan and the Middle East take place and Sohrab lives with Amir and Soraya in San Francisco can Amir happily run without any sense of remorse. After seeing Sohrab smile for the first time in months, Amir “ran with the wind blowing in (his) face, and a smile as wide as the Valley of Panjsher on (his) lips” (371). Running, literally or figuratively, occurs numerous times throughout the book. By threading the act of running into book from beginning to end, Hosseini intentionally makes the reader notice how running turns from a bad thing, in the beginning, to a good thing, at the very end. By using Symbols that change from bad to good, the reader naturally feels Amir, as well, makes the change from bad to good. The act of sticking money under the poor man’s mattress shows Amir’s growth from his childhood. As a child, in order to make his father mad and shame Hassan, Amir frames Hassan for stealing money and a watch, thus making Ali and Hassan so full of shame that they leave. Upon returning to Afghanistan and staying with a poor Afghan family, Amir gives the children his watch and leaves money under their mattress for treating him so well and feeding him. The act of framing Hassan haunts Amir his whole life, and by turning his guilt into something positive for someone else, he relives himself of his misery. Amir’s redemption stems from changing the negative memories from his childhood that haunt his mind into positive events that affect other’s lives for the better. Hosseini links Amir’s past and present by using symbols that appear once in a bad light, and once in a good light. This is from the Kite Runner. Damn it. I forgot to meet w/ mr. sprehe tonight. He's gonna be pissed tomorrow.

My essay was unnecessarily long, but I thought that it answered the question whether he was redeemed or not
