Thomas fits that X prototype more than Nabers does(they both do). I still don’t know why Thomas needs to prove it another year for you, but not Nabers. He outperformed Nabers. If they switched draft spots, would you still say this?
I dunno. I’m not really gonna pound the table to keep Thomas out if you want to.

I think if you switch Nabers and Thomas Nabers is more productive and Thomas looks a lot like MHJ. Just a guess tho.

Nabers was seen as the better prospect and his talent translated right away. BTJ’s rookie success was more of a surprise but not a shock. I was so adamant against trading down and won’t make that mistake again. There’s no sure thing.

I get what you are saying but I still don't believe MHJ was a bad pick.

Monti can't control injuries man. He's played 3 full seasons in a row, GM's don't have crystal balls.

If he had a long list of injuries and missed time then sure, but he doesn't.
I don't care if he can control injuries or not. The guy wasn't good this season. The reason is irrelevant because he does not support your point.

Shifting focus back on melton - why was he considered to have such a bad season this year? I caught every game except one- from what I saw he got picked on a couple times, but never seemed worse than SMB who got smoked sometimes blatantly this year. I am actually more optimistic on the kid - I could see him undergoing significant improvement under JG in year two.

TBH-call it an excuse but I think it’s borderline unfair to judge any secondary too harshly with this patchwork mediocre front 7 that has trouble generating pressure
