It's situation that will be better to look at after this or even next year. Non of them had good opening night.
When you look Ayton or even Dončić first games ever you see how much overall talented they are ,especially on offense than both of guys who are in second seasons.
It's kind a unfair but to most rookies, their measurable success becomes depended on how guys drafed around them perform.
Hezonja was viewed as total bust because Turner, Johnson and Winslow were better in rookie year, looking today, he was not that bad of a pick at all, but ofc Booker was biggest misssed oportunity for half of the lottery teams.
That 2017 draft really isn't looking like big deal. Fultz sucks, Ball is brickshooter, Jackson is meh, Fox has nice potentia l but nobody cares since he is on Kings,Lauri is now hurt, Frank is raw, Isaac is raw, Smith has no efficiency. Just kind a mess all around with Mitchell and Tatum being that much better than anybody else.
