Josh Primo - Alabama

[clyde21]

don't worry, if that guy hates a pick, most likely it's a good one.

that's rich coming from you.

and also, it's not that Primo is a bad prospect, it's that there was way better still on the board and they could have taken him later after trading down and picking up more picks/assets. THAT's why it's the worst pick of the draft.

Interesting…

lol...u gonna puff your chest bc something completely unforseen happened with the kid off court?

What does him being waived for an off the court issue have anything to do with him as a prospect on the court? in fact he was proving you wrong and developing at a nice pace before this.

Off court issues are part of scouting.

And yet you knew nothing of his off court issues. So...

And yet this is the first I've heard you say that. Hmmm.

I didn't want to blow up his spot on a public forum. I gave that info out to a couple of my clients.

nah, I'm going to take credit for being right. Feels good. You take an immature, youngest player in the draft, and you increase the likelihood of him never reaching his potential. It's a factor you have to consider in player evaluation. And it's not like he was some unbelievable talent. He had talent, sure. And good size. But we're talking about a kid who only put up 8-3 with less than an assist per game while shooting 43% from the field. SAS were once again trying to be the smartest guy in the room and took him much higher than he should have gone given what a high risk long shot he was. It just made no sense why they'd take an 18 y/o combo guard when they had Murray at PG and Vassell at SG. Along with Keldon Johnson they had the makings of a competitive team. If you want to take a project take one of the centers (Kai Jones, Sengun, Sims) that plays a position that isn't already locked down, giving them two big lineups with Poeltl, or a glue guy, 3 and D wing like Trey Murphy to play the 4. Just more Spurs nonsense but their apologists will never admit it. "but they're 5-2...show's how much you know!!"

One of the reasons he started gaining momentum up the board was how he supposedly crushed his Combine interviews with teams. He appeared on the surface, at least, very mature for his age. Where is your take where you told everyone how immature he is? Just curious. Seems like a lot of Monday morning QB'ing right now.

not sure what him being 'the youngest player in the class' means. Jalen Duren is the youngest player in this class, is he gonna start flashing people? Jaren Jackson was the youngest player in his class. has he been going around flashing people?

and by all accounts he was a good and mature kid coming out even for his age. there was nothing there to hint anything remotely close to what just happened.

if you have any reports prior to the draft that questions his character or maturity go ahead and post it. otherwise this is just revisionist history.
