Can't sell low, too soon to cut bait. Maybe the G league? Worked for Poole...

Always an option too. Status quo isn't working though...

 

[shopson67]

Should that really be a surprise? Dedmon has been a guy on the edge of free agency over seemingly the past decade (someone I had often wanted the Lakers to kick the tired on).

Eh, he's closer but still not quite there....like I said above, Poole did the same thing. Too soon to say he's a bust....but he's closer to that now, we'll see

Not in year 3 though. If i recall, Poole was in the gleague in his rookie year. Played well in year 2 then really balled out lasr season

Warriors are lucky they got steph is all i will say. Dropping the ball on possibly 2 top 10 picks ( #2 and 7) in back to back years are things that set teams back years but they'll be fine for now

They tried to Spurs their way to Duncan part 2

To be fair though that draft sucked.

The 2 best picks in the lotto after Edward's were point guards. They were not taking a point guard.

Yeah the wiseman draft was really bad at the top. They may have been better trading back and getting beef stew who is clearly better than wiseman so far

 

[bksballer89]

If i had to do a redraft of that top 5 it would look like this.

Melo
Edwards
Maxey
Haliburton
Bane

Yea. The Pistons did well there minus Hayes lol. Bey and Stew both starters.

Now that 2021 draft where they went with Kuminga? Missed out on A LOT of good things

I’m trying to figure out what stance to take on Lamb.

On one hand, they found another diamond in the rough that looks like a rotation player.

But, on the other?

Its a total indictment on some of their younger draftee’s that a two way guy is averaging 20 mins a game and it’s not due to injury.

Im not out on Wiseman yet.

But, goodness….I at least expected signs of life.

Killian…goodness…lol

Let’s hope he goes the Jermaine O’Neal route?

But, for the team that drafted him.

Maybe I just don’t wanna be wrong about him.

I said his floor was Myles Turner.

Starting to look like his ceiling is Stromile Swift.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Killian…goodness…lol

Could have had Haliburton

Yikes.

Ouch…lol

Bagley > Wiseman

At least you have that to balance out the two busts.

I mean, the 6ers did it twice in the last decade with #1 overall picks.

Well, it’s pretty clear Ben was not a sell low.

That Dudes a fucking lemon and they got Harden out of it.

Philly might not be exactly where they want to be.

But, it is still remarkable that the franchise isn’t in taters after whiffing so badly on Fultz and Ben.

Thank God for Maxey…..

Still….

Even if Wiseman, Moody and Kaminga don’t pan out…

Fuck it….it’s like the Darko pick.

You won a Championship.

Had you done anything different, who knows if that would have still been the outcome?

Had you picked Melo, would Poole have ascended?
