Frankly
Danny is a better Pirate than a treasure hunter
Other words
He is better at stealing others richs than finding his own.
I guess it does not matter how you end up with great players , just as long as you do.
I'd say MS, TR, KO and JB is looking like a pretty good harvest for his last four top picks.
That is, I think Danny is both a hunter and gatherer.
I'm with you. Ainge comes out looking like a genius picking Rozier at 16.
Drafting Rozier should definitely quiet the Danny Ainge draft critics for a while.
No, it won't quiet his critics.I"ll admit the Rozier pick turned out great. However, I'm still upset Ainge signed Mickey for 4 years when it was painfully obvious he was undersized.
Selecting Yab at 16. Are you kidding? With a lot of quality players on the board and a need for rebounding I'm sure there are going to be a lot of regrets.
Regarding Mickey, do you understand how non-guaranteed contracts work? He's not signed for four years. He signed for two. The following two years he will only stick around if he shows something. If he doesn't, he can be cut at zero cost, or even traded as salary filler on draft that the other team can cut at zero cost.
Good point about the Mickey signing. I have to admit my opinion of Mickey is clouded by seeing him up close in his first preseason game. My initial impression was, 'you've got to be kidding, he doesn't have the size to play center.'
This year, Danny drafts Yabusele and I'm thinking, 'we need rebounding and size. Why is he repeating the same mistake.' Yeah, I know...he can shoot and he's strong, young and stashable.
My opinion of Mickey is clouded because I wanted Richaun Holmes who so far seems to be clearly better.
.
No he is not
Based on...
I like Holmes but he has not proven he is better than JM and vice versa.
Too bad Danny took RH , bc we could of picked both JM and Holmes
How could you come to that conclusion? You can't even fairly compare Mickey to any one not overseas. You're going to have to let this romance go at some point, triboy.
