Sometimes it's hard to know who is going to be great. I don't think anyone was calling Donovan Mitchell as being what he turned out to be. On the other end though, it's usually easy to see when someone's game is just NOT going to translate to the pros. Adam Morrisson with the 3rd pick yo? Come on the fuck on... that's just a wasted pick. You can't get a #3 and come out of it with Adam Morrison. You could just throw a dart at the board and get a better pick than that. He played two full seasons of basketball.
Yeah, but Mike just drafts popular and good college players from big name schools.
Because he thinks fans want to come see them.
It's like his draft board is entirely different. It's not the best available player. Who has the most talent or potential.
Who was the most successful in college left on the board from a big name school...PJ Washington.
Cody Zeller and Kaminsky, beside being fuckin redundant, what American born white bigs are anymore than a role/rotation player. Why would you draft Kaminsky two years after Zeller to the point you're turning down draft picks for that Kaminsky slot?
After Kaminsky....Winslow, Rozier, Myles Turner, Devin Booker and Oubre were picked.
Since Kemba, they've drafted no starters...he drafts role and rotation players. You're drafting players in the lottery to be the seventh and eighth best players on your team? role players? That shit makes no sense. At least draft in the lottery someone you think can start.
