Good catch. I heard that too. I would say one could infer that he doesn't view Shai as a centerpiece. Or alternatively that he views Shai as versatile enough he could be used in a variety of ways.ThunderBolt wrote:I listened to the interviews up until now. One thing I noticed that stood out to me was a response by Sam from a Jenny Carlson question. I’m typing this right after so I’m doing my best to paraphrase accurately.
She asked about the shift from drafting long athletic guys to more skilled cerebral players. One of the things he mentioned was that was more the norm for the league at that time and they built teams to fit their best players strengths. He said at the time we had some special players we were building around. He then shifted to now and said for this rebuild, it’s a “blank slate”.
I can’t help but wonder if that was a bit of an unintentional slip on how he views shai’s future. Maybe I’m reading too much in to it but I fail to see the harm in talking openly about building around Shai if that’s the intention moving forward.
