Well yes, he was technically still a draftee though. Wiggins, Towns and Dunn in three consecutive drafts is serious good stuff. LaVine is not a bad talent either, he could develop into a fine player. Unlike 76ers their line up has been drafted with balance. Sixers have got high picks but used them all on centers, they need to start trading them now, otherwise they're going nowhere. Embiid is also still so far from having an impact.
Steve Kerr doesn't think Draymond assaulting somebody is a big deal. I guess you'd feel that way if you see it 82 times a year.
Unavailable, but looking pretty damn awesome: Norman Powell (pick #46 last year) Josh Richardson (pick #40 last year) Connaughton was #41 - so we could have had Powell instead. Here he is: Funnily enough, a lot of us wanted Powell before the draft, but none of us wanted Connaughton. (Worth noting: Powell was supposed simply to be a defensive specialist and amazing athlete. Looks pretty smooth, doesn't he? He also started for the Raptors a few games last year.)
I know. It's an absolutely crippling pick. How does Olshey live with himself at night! The condensed opinion of S2 has the weight of an Ayn Rand novel.
Wait what? Getting Pat Connaughton doesn't mean that we had action at getting Powell. Project Pat was a throw-in so that we could get Plumlee.
"Vonleh briefly exited the game with a left gluteus contusion, but he played through it, which suggests this will be a non-issue moving forward." Vonleh left the game with a sore ass?
how do you mean exactly? they started with trading for wiggins. the next year KAT was the consensus #1. so i assume you are basing this entirely off of the dunn selection. but they already had rubio and lavine at pg. basically they have taken bpa the last 2 years, they dont really need a pat on the back for that.
He plays for the most hated team in the NBA. I like to refer to him as the Bill Laimbeer/Dennis Rodman of today's NBA. It's good for the league.
