Not sure he is the right guy for where we are or not but he did do a great job in Denver so it seems reasonable that he would be able to turn things around for us better than Weaver.“We get all this unfair credit for drafting him. We had two picks prior! We could have picked him earlier. We waited ’til 41. It was just kind of lucky scouting, to be honest with you.”

He also brought in Conley Jr and NAW.
You can poke holes in any GM’s resume. My only concern with him would be the same concern I had overpaying Monty.
Different though I suppose. By all accounts Connelly wants a job next year- with Monty we were competing with him taking a year off.
