Clippers just beat the Rockets 128-118. Record now 13-18.
Lakers lost to Golden State and are now 11-19.
Jordan Bell went off, the guy is a stud. He is already one of my favourite players (along with McCaw) and could have been gotten for cash only.
Golden State have to be the gold standard in history at drafting players, even over San Antonio. Warriors drafted Thompson at 11, Green at 35, Bell at 38, McCaw at 38 and even Barnes and Curry were steals at their draft position.
I’m curious as to whether the players you mentioned fell to them, or they reached and they nailed it?
People mention Deandre Jordan all the time, but many teams passed on him. I give more credit for taking a guy like, say, Rozier way before anyone had him (just using him as an example, he wasn’t what I would call a steal at 16).
I’m sure GSW has a great scouting system, but SAS have been doing it forever.
