...when i've seen him play he never seems to actually 'run'. And when he catches the ball it's like he can no longer see any other players on the court and has to just find a way to shoot. It's kind of harsh judgement considering how little i've seen of him recently but every time i see him play i remember 'oh yeah, that's why he never played for us'.
Yeah, he looked usable under Larry Drew. But Budenholzer put him in the doghouse early and locked the door. I always thought he'd become useful on another squad under a coach with a wide open system.
He did not. Clearly, the kid has struggled just to stay in the league.
An indictment on Ferry or on JJ2?
He was considered a reach at the time and in hindsight we passed on useful NBA players like Tony Wroten, Festus Ezeli and Kyle O Quinn. Starting caliber players like Will Barton, Jae Crowder and Khris MIddleton. And a top 20 player in Draymond Green.
That's a lot of talent to bypass for a one dimensional player who's bounced around the league.
NOTE: People often forget just how bad a drafter Danny Ferry was.
