I’m becoming disillusioned.

The 2020 draft class was exciting initially, “trigger Troy” unloading his clip to get his guys. Stew was gonna be a mini Ben Wallace or whatever, Killian had this super high ceiling, right? Now, we’ve found that Killian is barely an NBA player, Bey was traded for a non-NBA player, and Stew is just not good enough.

2021 was exciting. No-Brainer pick in Cade, and a late “steal” in Livers. Franchise cornerstone and a reliable 3&D wing, right? Now, every game we play just punches me in the gut, begging me to snap out of it and start seeing these players differently, too.

Are we sure Troy is the drafter we think he is? Or maybe he’s JUST a scout, but doesn’t know what to do after that, with his asset management and roster construction.

We just don’t have any real method to generate offense. The team is shooting awful from 3, and nobody is getting to the line enough either. So to try to offset that, they go and play a “defense-first” lineup, but we don’t have the personnel to do that at any effective level.

I guess we don’t need to be able to shoot or draw free throws if we can just rebound our misses, right? right??
