KO wasnt that bad of a pick
As he still puts up decent numbers

Though i wanted either dieng or giannis before the draft

Capela is good but i think hood seems to be the one to have the better career long term wise

Keep telling yourself that folks maybe someday you 'll be able to say with conviction and almost believe it.  But second guessing a pick after you see guys other develop is pretty cheap.  I wanted another pick there as well.  Let's hope the slow start is due to the surgery.

He is so passive sometimes it is disgusting.  Sometimes that unique skillset never shows itself during a game.

Kelly is a solid bench guy.

I concur.

I will be honest at draft time I had BPA as

1. Young= Highest upside and position of need.
2. Capela=Ibakka potential and position of need but biggest miss potential.
3. Harris=Six man lock not needed but good backup.
4. Hood= maxed out, nice 6-8 bench player. We needed a better SF prospect long term.


Now Young hasn't lived up to his potential for sure.
Capela neither but he had Howard ahead of him.
Harris got hit with injuries.
Hood is what I thought he was. And don't bother arguing that he starts. He starts but he isn't that good. He should be coming off the bench for a good team.


So I at the very least thought Young would be getting stead minutes by now. Seems the knock on him going into the draft held up.
