I guess they saw Bogo as a stash or a G League guy from the start, where they see Williams as a guy who can compete right away.
If they went with Bogo, I'd say they end up keeping Luke, but the Williams pick could mean they are choosing to move off Luke.
Who's Bogo? I wracked my brain for 13 seconds and then gave up trying to figure it out.

With that said, I hope the NBA was wrong. Because I like him, I fear I’m wrong. Why couldn’t I just hate the pick??!!

This guy actually ranked Amari 23rd...and Shulga 22nd:

He also ranked Reynaud immediately behind Maulach, I think at 13/14.

Wasted pick
Dude, your draft analysis is based on a guy we basically pulled out of the G league? What the hell? Jayson Tatum should have almost no impact on who we draft and you think Queta makes this a wasted pick??
I can't fathom being this clueless.
Other centers available, higher ranked with differing skillsets that could be used to offset the skills already on the roster.
Its not a difficult concept to grasp.
Just try...

Wasn't Pritchard 23 as well?
That turned out horrible.

He was 22 when drafted.
Obviously there's quite a few 22/23 yr old prospects who went on to have good NBA careers. I never said otherwise.
You're taking my comment out of context though. I've said lots of positive things about Amari in this (and other) threads. I've pointed out the pros and I've pointed out the cons. Being an old prospect is simply one of the cons with Amari. It is what it is. Does that mean he will fail? No, I didn't say that.
Do all older prospects fail? No, I didn't say that. But 23 is old for a prospect and generally, the young the prospect is, the better. This is common knowledge.
Especially when it comes to bigs. If we think about the age 22+ prospects who have done really well..guys like Pritchard, Hauser, Herb Jones, Caruso, Vanvleet, Caleb Martin, Malcolm Brogdon, Buddy Hield, Duncan Robinson, etc. they're pretty much all guards/wings. Pretty much all of the top bigs in the league were 20 or under when drafted or *maybe* 21. It is what it is.
