That sounds right. Can't be mad about taking Ayton. He is nice. A lot of people got tripped up on Luka confusing him with undeveloped international prospects. He was already there.If there’s a player I’m truly eating crow on in that draft though it’s definitely Trae Young. I really thought he was gonna bust
I didn't know what to think about Young and sort of avoided conversations about him. There was a lot to be excited about and a lot to be concerned about. I felt like he would figure out the shot selection thing with better teammates. I'm more impressed that he cut down on his turnovers.
Same re Trae - there was a lot of Talk ot the Knicks wanting him pre draft, but of course we weren't in a position to take him. I didn't watch him enough to make a call one way or the other, and didn't scout him much either. I far underrated him.
Now I just want Pooch to trade him to me for Richardson. Trae just wants an extension.
