Came into this with 5 minutes left in the half and it's the 2-2-1 again, not the 1-3-1. I knew Dual PGs was here to stay when Ryan was doing it last season. Holdover from Thibs reign. Only difference now is refusing to use two big bigs.
Good thing they have two PGs who work well together in Dlo and McLaughlin. BTW, the people that keep wanting a new PG in the draft and saying Mc should be the third next year really need to give that up. Mc is really really good and Tyus couldn't hold his water bottle. A different one might not work well with Dlo like this. If you draft one, don't go lofting him to the second PG role in the first year.
I think JMac gives us the ability to draft a high potential PG/SG combo and let him develop or use that pick as a trade asset down the line.
Well, if only they would develop him first from the third role. But we all know what happens if Wolves top pick is used on any PG/SG with on ball skills. So that makes me not want to waste a very good duo I'm seeing right now by doing so. The high draft pick will push Mc's minutes right off the table automatically because this team has never shown the ability to slow develop a FRP. Culver and Okogie prove it's still that way. Otherwise I would really agree with you if the BPA at our pick is a solid looking PG/SG prospect. Instead I might try trading down or for some team's ready made player instead. I just think we would be foolish to look this gift horse in the mouth and ruin it.
The idea of drafting him just as a future trade asset just assures we will play him many minutes just for the sake of keeping his value up for sale. It will stop them from slow developing him. It's just the teams way. Wish it was different. Maybe Rosas will say they are willing to do something different, not sure though.
Another thing about this. Mc is going to be cheaper. It's a big reason why I wanted them to propel Nowell;s development minutes. The team needs cheaper players that really can play. Some would say a draft pick will be too, but not a top 10 guy, not really, and certainly not when his first deal is up if he's any good. Where Mc could very well be a good value his entire career and enough so to be a truly longterm Wolves player. Culver at pick 6 is over 5/yr already. Probably same or more for top pick in this draft, right?
