DeAndre Hunter never became the guy he was supposed to despite being traded up for and taken at #4 overall 7 pts on 7shots and he doesn’t lock up anymore.

Cam Reddish got bullied up outta here, yes he made young man decisions but it’s a maturation process.

Onyeka Okongwu was picked at #6 and he is still working on basic center skills and becoming a full time player.

Jalen Johnson is in his third year and finally getting minutes and he’s breaking out, he could be so much ahead of his timeline if he got minutes a year or two ago.

    Why is everyone trying to change what happened all of a sudden. This team went out and spent money like a MFer because Trae was good quickly and he wanted to win. That immediately stopped their tank and hindered their development. Maybe they should have rebuilt for one more year after the OO pick to try and find that second star, but they clearly couldn’t. Trae hated losing. And then this team coddled Cam. Remember when Cam was hurt and then came back in a playoff game and went off and then was excused from summer league? Cam got big headed and the team helped in that.

    As far as Hunter goes, yes, he’s a huge disappointment. Remember when he was playing well and guarding PGs and then the team had him shave off his meniscus so he could hurry up and come back for the regular season? Why are people forgetting this? His knee is a huge factor to why he’s playing lame basketball right now. Just look at what he would try before that surgery vs now.

    Now with OO, how are you going to fully develop him when he’s not playing in the starting lineup with your best player? The guy was picked top 10 and relegated to the bench because the team had to win and had to play Clint with Trae because Clint can’t do shit without Trae. Even with Trae, he can’t make a difficult lay up to save his life. Remember when everyone in here thought Clint was a down low monster at dunking and out backs because his FG% was so high? That was fun times.

    There’s a reason why all these things happened and you people are trying to misremember why that is.
