The Q
Hoop’s Villain, Reality’s Hero
Yeah football is WILDLY different than the NBA. If you spend a fair amount of research you can get a remarkably high number of picks right for an NBA draft. In the NFL, things go out the window usually by pick 10.
They are 4-13 without him and 14-17 with him. Sexton being good stats/bad team all-star doesn't make him a real all-star. No matter what, Sexton will always be defensively limited. Maybe he could become a consistent All-Star but it's hard to see him ever being more than that. I'm not saying this because I have dislike him or the Cavs. I honestly don't care about either that much. I don't see him ever being a top 2 player on a championship caliber team. But I could be wrong.
You are doing what you are saying other people shouldn't do. You are using hindsight to judge the pick. The problem with Garland isn't that he wasn't the BPA available. Maybe he was. But the Cavs drafted a short point guard the year before. Where was Garland going to get his minutes? You going to put one of these guys at the 2 and and have 2 6'1" guards in the backcourt?
FFS why do you keep arguing that the Sixers got lucky? They were one of the 3 worst teams in basketball for 5 straight years. They drafted ahead of slot one time when they were the 2nd worst team in basketball and got the No. 1 pick(Simmons).
As it stands the Cavs have a 10% chance of getting the No. 1 pick. THAT would be very lucky. Especially since the Cavs have already got No. 1 3 times in the last 10 years.
No, I don't think the Cavs will EVER be a good team with Garland and Sexton in the backcourt? Maybe they could sneak an 8 seed or something like that. But that team will never be able to stop anybody.

And without Simmons the process is nothing less than a total train wreck.
if anything that supports tanking more and more
