I watch zero college basketball but is the draft so bad that your goal picking 3rd is a backup? That’s just sad, trade the pick then
but the goal with amen was that he would eventually start, plus he was way better then our starting 3 last season as a rookie
To me, that just means you have team control over something closer to prime years before the big pay day. If one were projecting these guys to be a franchise player, then ok, it's about how high is the ceiling... not what can you do for me over the next 4 years.
I think its about building the roster. Adding depth and pieces that you don't currently have. What if OKC had a player of Clingan's elk against Dallas? More than likely, they win that series. Outside of Chet, they had nothing on the interior
Did Lively or Gafford cripple Dallas offense? You guys are so focused on Offense but there is another side of the game called....DEFENSE
dallas never plays 2 bigs, literally never. They're also built around a pick and roll guard, which is why those guys fit so well.
Draft Clingan Let Udoka mold him Let him get acclimated to the NBA Then start him with Sengun If he’s Brook Lopez or Gobert then he can play with Sengun
Edey is miles better than Clingan. Trade down a few spots ans steal Edey. Playoffs showing how important a tall guy is.
He knocked down a whopping 2 threes. Stop the presses!!! Edey shoots a smoother and better arching three and made 56% of 25 threes. Following the media’s narrative which is Clingan over Edey is not the way to go. Block out the noise and please youtube highlights of each player and you’ll see that one is the next Yao Ming (with help from Hakeem) and the other is the next Jock Landale (without the smooth three). I admire Jock, but no way in heck am I picking him 3rd. I’d certainly take Yao third.
This is a 41 win team, probably better given a reasonably healthy season, picking 3rd. The quality of the draft may be lower than previous years but we'll still get to add the 3rd best prospect. If that makes you "sad", buddy it's time to log off and find something you enjoy.
