I go Otto Porter, Satoransky, Johnny Davis(you will convert sooner or later).
Conversely, feel like I was one of the biggest John Wall haters in the fan base. Always felt like he wasted a ton of talent and never cared much about winning or making winning plays. Was more about self than team and totally quit playing defense about 3-4 years into his career.
People scapegoated Randy Wittman, Gortat, and Otto Porter for the failures of that core when really it was a historically bad GM and a fraud superstar in Wall IMO.
