Hunter would have been such a good pick for the Wiz. I also was very high on Garland. I actually wanted Doumbouya (with Hunter gone), so I can't complain about getting Rui. Good call by Doc on Samanic. SA has been letting him develop slowly, and it looks like it's working. Gotta wonder how Doumbouya would have developed if a team like SA drafted him. Maybe the same as with Detroit, but maybe a lot better.
Yeah I'm not confident Samanic would have developed at all with the Wiz. Rui being mostly raw talent may mean he was a better pick, there may be more growth to stunt, but his raw physical attributes won't decay. His floor is high, relatively speaking.
