In the last 3 drafts Stone picked 9!!! 1st round picks ,most of any other team in NBA and only one player looking with all star/all nba potential.
1)I think the biggest mistakes were made in 2021 draft. He picked Jalen over Mobley,Barnes and Wagner
I dont blame him over Garuba pick because he had potential. But Josh Cristopher over Hyland,Cam thomas or even Grimes was a bad pick.I Dont even mention herb Jones because was a longshot.
Ofc Sengun pick was good.I think everyone could see potential in him but his height/speed were the biggest questions
2)In 2022 we didnt have many options with no3 pick and i think Jabari can be a 3rd/4th guy in a championship team.
Eason was the safest pick at the time.he had the best advanced stats among guys left in the lottery.He is a good role palyer.
TyTy was a waste of pick
3)In ths years’ draft.we lost in the lottery .by not picking 1st
We have to wait to see if we picked the wrong Thomson. Whitmore was the pick with the most upside among players left so an easy pick.One more time.
Long story short,the biggest swing was Jalen.Mobley is one the best complementary players along Sengun.Only Wemby or Chet would be better.
Now we need one more guy to rise .
Our best chances right now are if we sign Jalen cheap and somehow firure out his groove in the next years.or Jabari take massive steps in development.
Whitmore or Amen we have to wait and see what they can do.
