Real Sliding Doors Moment

[slightly biased bias fan]

I do not think this gets talked about enough, the 2022 NBA draft, and Orlando selecting Paolo Banchero with the first pick over Chet Holmgren.

Sliding doors moment for who? You think Orlando would be better off with Holmgren as their primary option instead of Banchero? Or you mean OKC would have preferred to have Paolo as a duo with SGA over Chet?

I don't think it was a glaring error after looking at these stats.

Jwill and Duren would go a lot higher in a redraft (and they went 12 and 13 so not even that egregious) but other than that 2022 is one of the few drafts that was mostly correct in the top 10.
