If it helps, it was a pipe dream before you read this thread too.
Another thing to consider with all these young guys is if/when we're competitive we're basically going to be running 9 player rotations. Cade, Ivey, Duren, Sasser, Beefstew, Ausar, Grimes, #1 pick this year is 8 already. Are we really going to run 8 guys in that age range + Tek?
I think Minny is on to something with spacing out the age groups of their big stars. They have an older couple in Gobert and Conley, one in his prime in Kat, and a young one in Ant, and they have a lot of flexibility going forward and feed off of each other nicely. I think the "all on the same time table" thing is short sighted because you lack a diversity of experience among players who matter then.
Our problem is most of the older players we've brought in just haven't been very good and we haven't had someone who was a star in their prime since Blake (and that was about 2 years before he broke down).
