Do you really trust SVG/Bower to draft well? I know I dont based off there first round selections

Me neither. Stanley is en route to becoming a bust if he doesn't make drastic changes.

Dumars, in spite of all his mistakes, was very good at drafting.

We really don't have enough track record to say whether or not SVG is a good drafter. Guy has had 2 first round picks so far....

That, and neither player has been in the league long enough for serious evaluation. Stanley looked promising last season, struggled early this year, but seems to be finding some footing. Henry is a rookie and a 19 YO kid who doesn't play much.

I like Malik Monk.. His game will translate at this level guaranteed.

To be fair, I think SVG ruined Johnson. He was clearly a better player last year, then SVG destroyed either his confidence or his love of the game in last off season.

I kinda understand this too. KCP was basically the same way, since he was the number 1 option at UGA and Cheeks was basically harsh on him and tried to ruin/build him by starting Stuckey over him and the corpse of Billups when he clearly needed some starting minutes to develop. But KCP took the challenge and worked hard on his game to the point where he is now.

Whereas SJ seems to have wilted under SVG.

Josh Jackson is the best player in the draft.

Man Malik Monk is a bad dude.

El Chivo · Post #73 » by **El Chivo** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 10:57 am

12th pick, here we come. I already see a stupid winning streak after we are eliminated from playoff race.

Maybe we'll get my fellow Finn Lauri Markkanen.

Man they got mad at me at the Dallas forums when I said his playstyle reminds Dirk to me.

Eipä näy Laurin jälkee muita

Those guys always scare me

I really like Fox myself. He can't shoot for nothing but he will get after you defensively, has good vision, athleticism. He brings a type of tenacity we lack.

And from Detroit, it would be a match made in heaven.

Too early to give up on Stanley.
