Sensabaugh was one of the better scorers in the draft. At that spot, it's great value.

I cant believe Masai said change is needed at the end of season and this is his solution running it back with a first time head coach

Fr. Our reputation as a good development team is over. Miami and Denver have left us in the dust

There's honestly a chance we could have traded down and taken Dick at 16 and gotten 28 too. Utah apparently really wanted George. I think Hawkins was the Pels guy and Atlanta already has AJ Griff.

Yup, his offensive numbers are undeniable at that spot.

I bet New Orleans would have taken Gradey over Hawkins

Why can't these guys get off their asses and make a draft day deal. So frustrating

I would have been fine with Podz at 16. Would have made that gamble.

Masai's recent history with 2nd round picks:
Dalano Banton
David Johnson
Christian Koloko
Dewan Hernandez
Jalen Harris

Not sure 2nd round picks matter much to this team.

A Lou Williams archetype should never have been ranked highly, and when he showed he couldn't score in college maybe he shouldn't have been drafted at all. If you're a score first player who can't defend, rebound, or pass very well you should at least be able to score.
