Lamelo probably has the most work to do after we draft him because it probably means trading Graham, but we will have to see them play together first.
Still don’t get the Tyrell Terry love. Dude is basically Seth Curry (again Seth). He isn’t a good athlete, has small hands, short wingspan, probably had worst combine of every player.
All he does is shoot it okay, doesn’t seem like he can be a starting pg in the league.
I am different when it comes to drafting players. (Not saying I'm better just different). One thing I admire about you
is your ability to use, and actually use your brain lol. You seem to value things like wingspan, and stats. (Which is a great
and logical approach btw).
Kinda like hiring that person based on a spectacular resume.
I am more the type that enjoys actually meeting the person, and trying to gauge that persons potential and how I feel that can be of an asset even though they may lack in what should be the "obvious" hiring.
Kinda like giving a starting coaching job to someone with no experience, instead of what should be the qualified person on paper...
I actually rarely if EVER look at those things. When drafting players I go for things like
Smell test
Eye test
It factor
Swag
Intellect
Actual basketball skill
All things that are a bit more sentimental. I will draft a player who I like for many reasons. I rarely if ever draft based on
stats or wingspan or even size. If I do, it is a determining factor in the choosing of two players who I have as ranked as EVEN.
Although Terry lacks in size, wingspan and athleticism, he is a good shooter, can play both guard spots and can create his shot.
I also like the way he carries himself and has an it factor about him.
Many draft players using my method (or one close to it) which I guess is why we are such terrible GM's lol. I say that
because it's obvious due to the fact that a Terry can lack size, wingspan etc... and still be penciled in as a potential lottery pick.
That conclusion would be based on them valuing him for something else and not his size, lack of athleticism, stats or wingspan which he obviously lacks in.
To sum it up, I enjoy using my method of drafting because at the end of the day, even when we use a common sense approach,
most of the time we still can get it wrong so I might as well enjoy my picks with players who I enjoy watching than to gamble
on ones I don't given the outcome will probably be the same lol.
