So we should have drafted Murray instead of Yabusele or Zizic?
You know Yab was not the BPA. The pick/s were made so we could stash, IMO Yab will probably never even be a Glen Davis level player and he was a 2nd rounder.
Zizick was a decent pick at 23.
Brown is a very good prospect and I say this without hesitation...the speed, grace, and decisiveness on his SPIN MOVE reminds me a lot of Andrew Wiggins, but JB is stronger and more filled. Dear God let this kid make a leap in his game in regards to his finishing and over-all jumper.But could have been traded down for, I could have seen Brown being selected, at latest by Nuggets and def PHO at #8....but who knows really. I also would have traded down and at minimum selected Dunn with the #3 and then dealt with the half-dozen teams that wanted him.
But if we missed on Jaylen by trading down (which is unlikely) then Buddy Hield would have been a good pick as well.
Yab should have been picked based on being BPA, not on the ability to go overseas. We traded RR, this forums Golden Boy, for Yab( do not bring up Crowder bc throwins do prove themselves after trades and given opportunities and extra time...they got a lesser but still good throw in in Powell)
Trading the 31 and 35 was stupid for what we got back.....the Griz love that trade and they should.
Biggest problem is that DA had more than enough time to consolidate the picks or include them in a draft night trade, or use them to move-up. Sometimes you can't win everything and DA has def not been winning at the draft.
IMO DA would still be mostly hated on this blog had he not signed Hortford. But Hortford was not pryed away from Atlanta, he was running away from Dwight. DA has screwed us (the fans) with a lack of humility when assesing trades and needs to show how smart he is or win in every regard..... so stop calling DA a master and commander.
Also signing Zeller was stupid, I'd rather take a flier on an up and comer....hopefully there is a trade happening and KO is now apart of it. I can't wait for the cb posters that believe he could be a super-star to have a meltdown...followed by going back to work as full-time DA apologists.
