lol....uhhhhh well- there MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT be a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil something your overlooking there---- the Spurs also Might...maybe- i dunno- MIGHT be a TINY TINY bit better at developing that talent as well.Just this year, the Celtics didn't love either of the consensus top 2 picks, Fultz or Ball. So what did they do? They moved back and got the guy they wanted in Tatum.
It's only bullshit if you feel that draft is predicated on taking consensus guys. If you're doing that, you're not doing your job as an NBA team evaluating players. There are players that slip through the cracks every year. But it's not a coincidence that the Kings continually take shit players and the Spurs end up with "steals" every draft.
But i dont think you are getting my point.
If the Spurs had the #1 pick in the Kawhi Leonard draft and not #14- they wouldnt have KAwhi Leonard right now.
If the Blazers were drafting #2 theyd have either MKG or Bradley Beale right now--- but they were drafting out of the top 5- so they got Damian Lillard instead.
If the Warriors had the #1 pick in 09 they would have Blake Griffin and Steph Curry would not be NEAR that team----shit- if Rubio was still there they might have him instead.
