I just feel like we either had the assets to get 2 top 10 picks in the 2018 draft or the 2019 draft..must be 2019.
I love Wendell and would be happy to have him here for a decade.
But selecting him in lieu of Doncic or Trae would have been the most boring, vanilla, milquetoast selection. The fanbase would NOT have been happy.
With that said. I think we could have traded back twice from #3 and still ended up with Wendell plus extras in the 2018 draft and 2019 draft.
NOTE: Rooting for a Trae-led team is exhausting. He has clear talent and is an NBA caliber player, undoubtedly. But, he's so erratic. I kind of wish Lloyd would rein him in a bit on both PT and shot selection. He shouldn't be avg 30 mpg so early in the season.
No way in lieu..I meant in addition. A team like us HAD to land a playmaker in Trae or Doncic no questions asked. We could not have walked away with Wendell and that’s it. Although it would have almost guaranteed us a last place finish and a top 3 pick, which we might get anyways.
This fan base needed Trae or Doncic but adding a Wendell or possibly JJJ would have worked. I am also in favor of not blowing our entire asset basket in one draft.
