True, but I think I agree with Wiggy here in that it was just wrong to think because they showed some promise it was a failure that it didn't work out. Most 2nd round picks amount to very little (or even late 1st rounders).

We all make way too early judgement calls on here. It's the exact same reason GM's draft the players is because they see the potential. Whether or not they ever live up to it is an entirely different matter.

I mean just look at what you were saying about Kevin Porter Jr. Just a few weeks ago.

The Nets should reach out to Kyle Korver....he's 39 but he made 42% of his 3's last season. They would only need 10-12mpg out of him.....and he might play for the vet minimum for the chance at a ring. And give them another shooter.

Early season COY is Doc....

Has Embiid playing like a true C.....21 FTA's last night. When the opposition doesn't have somebody to stop your big, you take advantage of it.....
Doc is a very good coach, don't know why he gets dogged so much

Watching The Arena on TNT and Keyon Dooling is on the show.....reminded me of Danny Ainge helping Dooling's family when he had his breakdown. May hate the Celics since I rep the Lakers but I have nothing but respect for DA and this is a great story.

They need defense. Signing Korver does nothing except gives them 1 fewer spot to make their defense respectable

Losing a 3-1 lead 2x in the 2nd round for a franchise that never been to a conference finals usually will lead to that

Players don't deserve some of the blame?

And I’m so glad to see a true center right now. It gets so old watching 3 pt contests

Porter's problem isnt talent.

He is way more talented than any of those guys- by a mile.

he is just a nut job.

Exactly. For their sake it’s a shame Tony Allen isn’t even just a couple years younger. That guy close to his prime cures a lot of ills on defense. He is done though.

Or even a Shane Battier type.
