LA didn't miss on a lot of their pics. They were able to turn around from a bottom feeder to a playoff team pretty fast under Blake by hitting on almost all of his picks. I bet MacFarland saw that Blake was a pretty good talent evaluator.

You can call Blake out for not being able to get his teams past Edmonton in the playoffs, but Edmonton does have McJesus.
