If you're a bad team in the NBA, you can't worry about fit. I think the Luka Doncic and DeAaron Fox situation should be a lesson to everyone.

I'd argue the Derrick Williams situation showed the opposite.

How so? Which player fit better, but they decided to pass on him for? Williams was just a bust on his own right. The rest of that top 10 draft went: Kanter, Tristan Thompson, Valanciunas, Velsey, Biyombo, Knight, Walker, and Fredette. That list is pretty uninspiring.

Would you guys have drafted a PG in Knight, Walker, or Jimmer? Weren't you guys waiting on Rubio?

Most of those centers would've been upgrades over the C rotation Minnesota had entering 2011. That was also the Klay Thompson draft, who had a lot of fans locally.
