I think I do that.
I don't think okafor is a negative. He has legitimate post production. And he's young. And ensuring we get jackson AND getting rid of knight is worth one of the variable Miami picks.
That's what he HAS to tell the public so everyone doesn't jump ship when fultz-ball-jackson are all gone. I promise whomever they select will be the "guy we wanted all along!" Don't believe the spin. There's definitely a drop off between the top three. It's what's been discussed literally all year.
Absolutely agree. Not only do they not want a traditional pg, it might actually be against their best interest to take a ball dominant pg when the ball will be in Simmons hands so often. A shooter? Certainly. But they can load up on backcourt shooters without expending the #3 pick on them. That's why Jackson makes sense for them. They need the two-way wing bc they don't have one.
I think it will prove to be huge. And in a league where incremental differences make all the difference, a drop off could have enormous ramifications.
So it is with the Suns. 2nd pick in two one player drafts. 4th pick in a 3 player draft. It goes on an on.
Yup
I would say yes. We were the only ones that moved down.
That's true. But the question was biggest losers in THIS draft. I guess you could say THIS draft impacted 2019.
So would i. We already know the Miami picks will be rigged to slot into another teams' favor. Lol
No it was a win for them. If sac hadn't moved up and had to switch to phillys pick they would have been picking lower. The trade has already happened. All they could do was pick where they were supposed to or move up. They moved up.
Not even close to "huge". Come on now.
I do not think Jackson and Tatum are close. Monk and Fox are not close to Jackson either. They have too many flaws.
