    The family seemed pretty confident about things leading up to draft night. Night surprised he went this high, not surprised he happened to go to Boston.

    Maybe what we need is a new GM. Other teams find rookies who can come right in and contribute!

    May be a coaching thing because I guarantee you that Olshey would have liked to have seen Ant get more minutes by now... after all he's the best athlete Olshey has ever seen.

    Ant was given minutes this year that he hadn't yet earned, and it showed.

    I'm not trying to say that Ant should be playing, he looks lost out there... I was just commenting that Olshey may not be drafting guys to sit on the bench. The athlete part was a shot at Olshey because he was selling Ant sooo hard after drafting him.

    Dallas just got Josh Richardson and the 36th pick for Seth Curry. Wow, they must really value Seth to give up such a good three and D guy but like I've been saying when talking about them needing CJ, they need more perimeter offense.

    So Seth’s coach is his father in law?

    Yeah, that's gonna be interesting. When Doc coached Austin they would get into it on the sideline but Seth is a little laid back and it's his father in law not his dad. Might be rough for Seth or really great.

    It's interesting for me that Dallas feels like Richardson has more worth than Curry. Idon't think they just gave him up to get the 36 th pick.

    He also coached his daughter's ex in Paul George, who had previously cheated on her while impregnating a stripper, who he reportedly paid to get an abortion.

    Kind of part of the deal though when you draft 19 year old, raw guards. You throw them to the wolves and they get their confidence shattered and it could be career ending.

    A lot of getting drafted is having the talent. All these guys are super talented. A good portion of it is believing in your talents and harvesting it.

    That's not that interesting to me. Seth is a good effort defender who can score in a lot of ways but Richardson is a lock down 3 and D.
