I figured they'd just attack Drew and Holiday would lock up Dame. Who's gonna stop Giannis?

Everyone talks about us picking Bowie over Jordan, or Oden over Durant, but CJ over Giannis is equally horrible.


I remember the discussion on this board in 2012.

As I recall, there was talk Giannis would be a 7'0 Batum and almost certain Blazer if KP were still the GM and in charge
in the draft. KP always thought about length in his draft prospects but CJ was one of the better players in that draft
when guys like Ben McLemore, Alex Len, Cody Zeller, etc were picked ahead of Giannis.

All I remember is that the talk was back and forth on CJ vs Steven Adams

it's not just a Jrue defending him thing. it's that it jrue's and help. Lamar Hurd was talking about it for a bit in the fourth. Jrue's a great defender but much like the New Orleans series, that wasn't a one person thing.

Still upset at Terry for never finding a way to relieve the pressure of them just constantly trapping Dame.
