It sucks for Salaun that he hasn't played these last couple weeks, they are prime worthless games where we could've fed him some shots and see what happens. (We know what happens... but still)

I don't understand how you can rely on a guy like that let alone draft one in a building block slot.

the one exception i can make to that is if it's a big man. unfortunately there were no 7'3 or 7'5 centers available at #6 last year

If there was one he’s terrible.

I don’t see a single building block in this entire draft to be honest.

But you should know up front you can't build on a player you can't rely on whenever he puts the ball on the floor.
I guess JP doesn't value dribbling as a skill? If it weren't important, there would never be such a thing called a traveling violation.
Fundamental to the basic rules of basketball as a sport, you have to put the ball on the floor.
Quite often.

I think Jeff thought we should feed Miller/Melo 25 shots each and wanted to get “low usage” guys around them. That’s the general thinking I came to.
Obviously this was terrible in practice for multiple reasons. You need basketball players in today’s NBA.
