Is Scheierman A Wasted Pick?

[Jiri Welsch]

The challenge I see with Scheierman + Hugo + Hauser + Walsh is that they are competing for a finite amount of wing minutes. Couple that with the fact that there are overlapping skillsets among some and the Jays will both be back at some point, and it feels like something's gotta give!

All are either already or could potentially become NBA guys.

So I'm hoping Brad can get some return value for the ones who there's no space for.

Could be a problem, but that's also the strength of the Thunder team - Shai, Jay-will, Caruso, Dort, Wallace - the multiplied their strengths and they were the better for it.

The real question is whether or not those players are able to grow into their potential.
