It would have been worth posting if Finch said the opposite.

I think since we really liked both Kessler and Moore it made us very comfortable with the trade back.

I was going to post this link. Not exactly great interviewees. I found them to be a little boring, but as long as they're exciting on the court it's OK.

"Well candidly speaking if I may the two guys we wanted at 19 were taken the two picks ahead of us and so we panicked and traded back since there were no good players left in the draft after 18."

It is correct. Just watch him around the rim it is all kinds of messed up confusion. Moreover I saw the splits for right and left finishing and he is profoundly better with his left backing up the eye test, seeing something is off fundamentally.

I can tell how messed up and confused he is around the rim, by his 70% FGs from 2.


Again he struggles with his right (if you watch it is often some left/right unnatural hybrid), but he doesn't struggle with his left. He is clearly a lefty. We need to do a ton of work with him to improve his offense. And our success in getting him to use the proper hand will be the likely key determinate.


“He is clearly a lefty.”

BS

Imagine how much of a jerk you have to be to think you know what someone’s dominant hand is and they themselves do not.

It's possible that guys we really liked got sniped just in front of us, but I 100% believe that we liked both Kessler and Moore at 19 which made us comfortable trading back. Evidence of that is our taking Kessler at 22 and giving up 3 2nd round picks to move up from 29 to 26 to select Moore.

Imagine all those jerks historically that have forced right-handed dominance on lefty's, just imagine that we'e not actually a thing and imagine all the jerks that need believe that and ignore history just to insult someone and offer nothing constructive...
