What makes you so sure?
I also think Casey is the big Lamb voice in the room he wants shooters and scorers.
Colangelo I believe is the Lillard guy in the room and it appears he hates UCONN players.
Stefanski is a tough call hard to get a read on him probably the Waiters guy in the room
which would make for an interesting dynamic in the war room.
Of course we're both speculating out of our asses lol
But Casey likes hardnosed players which out of the 3 describes Waiters...plus he's really not that bad of shooter. If I'm not mistaken his numbers are actually quite similar to Barnes. Stefanski is the old Philly connection but I really don't know enough about Ed to give a honest read but he doesn't strike me as liking soft players or being high on just talent which makes me think he likes Waiters combo of talent and grit....
I really think BC is the only guy wanting Lamb as Colangelo always gets hung up on potential and Lamb has the most. I could see him liking Lillard too because he's another shooter that BC loves but I think he's not quite as hot on him because of age....had DL been a freshman I think he would have been a lock for our pick. BC seems to be trying to listen to other's advice so I think things are leaning toward Waiters but Colangelo is fighting to sell the other 2 to Casey and Ed...and so far Lamb may be ahead due to age and defence...I think I need to stop speculating but really that's just what I would assume based on those guys personalities. Not to mention ALL of them speak highly of Waiters, whereas the rest is scattered.
Well the only reason I suspect Casey is the Lamb guy in the room is wasn't he on the Fan 590
last week and Sid & Tim asked him who he liked and Lamb was the first name out of
his mouth? Also him wanting scorers and shooters lines up with Lamb plus I seen an end of
the year interview recently again of his and he said work ethic and attitude is all nice but
he wants talent.
Colangelo pretty much named everybody in our range but Lamb in his interview after the
Combine where every Mock and people around the league have us linked to Lamb. He could
be smoke screening so you never know.
