    is ping pong boy sam hinkie? If so, both hinkie and stone went chalk with every draft pick so they drafted exactly the same

    Ha Ha this is similar to Morey's Jeremy Lamb, Royce White and Terrance Jones in 2012.

    Jeremy Lamb was a key part of the James Harden trade after he had a great summer league.

    He didn't even suit up in the regular season for houston.


    Edit:

    Royce White was insanely talented but couldn't get over the mental health issues, which was on Morey to vett


    Jones was an anomaly. Tall, athletic, winner in college. A player like him could dupe me again.

    this is hard to argue against.

    morey orchestrated one of the biggest facades and heists in history. Must have had a good PR team

    Stone got 6 great prospects in 3 yrs anybody who says he isnt a good drafter is honestly just wrong and dumb af.

    I dont even know what you mean by "chalk" but Sengun, Tari and Cam arent lotto picks and quickly outperformed their draft spot. If they were so obvious why they there outside the lottery? Anybody who says those were easy picks just using 20/20 hindsight glasses.

    Hinkie and Stone are not on the same level at all. Hinkie kept getting players at the same position. Embiid, Noels, Saric, Okafor the only non big man lotto he got was Michael Carter Williams who got ROY then became a bust. Hinkie's the Process lasted 4 yrs and his team was still trash when he got fired, Stone in contrast tore down the team and already got 2nd seed in Y4.
