The craziest thing is still that his freshman teammate who had a much better season than him was right there if you wanted to go with an upside guy!

Both Shai and Donovan Mitchell in the Frank draft were totally within our range and guys we should have been looking to pick considering we’ve needed a PG forever. I know Mitchell is more of a combo but in both of these drafts we went with measurements and potential over production. It’s not even like Knox and Frank are super athletic. I would say Shai and Donovan are way more athletic in the sense they are faster and more explosive. It’s just that Knox and Frank had the bigger bodies and measurements. It’s so maddening to think we could have had either of those dudes.

And while I like Obi enough, it’s the same wrong thinking when we picked him over Halliburton. At least Obi actually is athletic and I’m pretty sure we picked him thinking Randle was gone. But still. We have needed a point guard forever and yet whenever we have a high draft pick, we don’t pick the best available PG’s. It’s so stupid. Even going back to Jordan Hill. Yeah, we missed out on Steph. Still could have grabbed Jrue Holiday who is quietly one of the better PG’s of the last decade.

It’s why I’m actually cool with us competing and having later first round picks. For whatever reason, going back for a very long time, this franchise just can’t seem to hit lottery picks and does better with late first rounders and second rounders. RJ was an obvious choice so I’m fine with that. But before him, I guess Gallo was the last top 10 pick we made that was the correct choice?

The Honorable Cock Jowles: that is not the way it works my dude

Yes it does. Which side are you on? 😉

I’ll be monitoring* Mobley and Nnaji’s games to check if they can go 27 and 22 pts, respectively, to reduce this list.
