Yeah, I'd prefer a guy with range out to 3 or someone who can guard both frontcourt spots.

Meh young for me isn't exactly a needle pusher or someone who will put any team over the top. Nice player but yea not too upset that we passed.

Well, let's hope his wife likes Indy better than Detroit. No big loss.

This. You know how you've got that one player who for some reason you can't put your finger on you never want on your team? Mine is Thad Young.

Could it be that he's a hybrid/tweener forward who doesn't spread the floor nor pass much who losing appears to follow everywhere?

Could be. He's that guy for me that just screams "Nooooo!" in my head.

Whatever guy we get at #18 wont give us Thad's production until 2-3 years down the road

This is a huge fcuk up by SVG

Pacers were two picks below us so we had the edge with dealing #18

Who the FCUK are we going to sign for less than 12M to play PF? Thad was our best option

Unless SVG has a trade or something up his sleeve he really screwed the pooch on this one

#18 <<<<<<< Thad even as an asset

Big fcuk up

As evidenced by him being traded for the #20 pick and a future 2nd?

Bc we will never be able to get a PF that is capable of starting, putting up 15/9, and most importantly that is locked to a 3 year deal at 11M each year

There is no way the player we select at #18 will be more productive than Thad barring some kind of miracle

Having Tobias and Thad on the roster means when a trade comes along either could be dealt, same goes with Mook

Like I said, unless SVG has a trade lined up for Ibaka or something else huge this is a gigantic missed opportunity

We could have traded a #18 draft pick in a terrible draft for a quality starter at 11M a year.

Home run deal for Indy------ Teague - Ellis - George - Thad - Turner --- Bird looking good after his Vogel debacle

Why is this still be debated? Young is already going to our division rival.
