Hence I cant use this season to judge the McDaniels, Nworas....This coach had Boucher glued to the bench like he was sometype of scrub!!
Meanwhile Scottie and RJ took massive leaps under Darko, IQ improved his playmaking drastically and Gradey ended up having a very solid rookie year. Would you rather him prioritize our scrubs or players that will be part of the future?
Good coaching is about maximizing the talent of your roster not having it underperform like Darko did.
Darko had the team 12-19 with 2 All-Stars and a DPOY; enough said.
anybody that watched the playoffs last season knew that RJ was always that guy. You don't set an ACC freshman single season record in a school that had Grant HIlls, Jayson Tatums, Brandon Ingrams, with Zion next to you, if you are not that guy.
IQ was 20+pts/40 3P% as a starter in New York. Without FVV, Barnes was going to take another step no matter what as the former ROY.
Gradey underperformed for months until finally he started looking like a lotto pick as the former best high-school player in the nation.
Once I see Darko maximize a roster then I will give him his props; hopefully on another team if Bud is available and ready to come back.
Our new young core is very exciting , thanks to Darko's 12-19 with 2All-stars and a DPOY.
