Chriss' hands must be smaller than Marion with the number of dunks he misses. Idk.

Wow. I like that kind of fire.They shouldn't be. And he's been passing more in the 4th.EDC wrote:https://twitter.com/T1m_NBA/status/884566343726489601

Definitely seems like some of the players aren't all that happy with James.
Yeah I saw all this from behind the bench. Jackson wasn't wrong.EDC wrote:https://twitter.com/T1m_NBA/status/884566343726489601

This ^. I was saying this last year during the draft about that draft, TJ's draft, and Len's draft. Why the heck does he double down when it's clearly a weak draft? Then when it's deep, we tried to win and got lucky with Booker and don't double down, just like this year(would have been nice to double down this year with Fox, Isaac, Smith, Mitchell, Ntikilina, ect on the board.)iLLmatic wrote:Warren was the obvious pick too at 14, just like Booker. Ulis wasn't a bad pick based on where he was picked. I don't care if he picked Chriss or Bender because last year's draft was kind of weak, what made it bad is that he doubled down on a s*** draft. I still don't see the wizardry of McDonough's drafting abilities.specialsauce wrote:I call ass all over this post. I would've loved to see your picks at those points in the draft. Anyone that thinks Warren and Ulis weren't great picks where they were chosen are out of their minds.iLLmatic wrote:Booker was the obvious choice at 13, I think everybody on this board wanted Booker there. Admittedly I liked Len at 5, but I also liked CJ too. I did not like Bender or Chriss, the guys on the radio were having orgasms over that deal like McDonough pulled off some sort of miracle. I felt like it was so-so at the time because both players were unproven. Chriss being so raw and Bender a foreign prospect who was not even a starter on his previous team.ShelC wrote:I'm heading down that path with McD too. We've had some really high draft picks now and it doesn't look like there's a gamechanger/stud among them. We got Booker at 13, who's for sure a stud. But Len (5), Bender (4), Chriss (8) are questionable at the moment, with Len really looking like he's on his way out. You can't go thru this period of losing and miss on top 10 picks, or top 5 for that matter.
If you remove Booker from his draft history, you have pretty mediocre results; four of these picks were lottery picks::
Tyler Ulis - Backup PG
TJ Warren - Sixth man SF
Alex Len - On his way out
Tyler Ennis - Traded (bench fodder)
Archie Goodwin - Released
Dragan Bender - Still too raw to project (not aggressive enough)
Marquise Chriss - Still too raw to project (too aggressive in the wrong way)
Alec Brown - Who??
Bogdan Bogdanovic - Remains to be seen
I don't see anyone I would have picked AT THE TIME over Chriss, Bender, or Len. Alec Brown was the 50th pick in the draft, give me a freaking break.
Ennis sucked.
You need to put down the haterade and stop fishing for reasons to hate McD. Yes, the Brandon Knight deal was awful. Aside from that incident, he's been just fine.
I don't get this criticism. We came into the draft with #4 and #13. The cost of trading up from #13 to #8 was small. What's the big deal?In2ition wrote:This ^.

It was more doubling down on two PFs, but it cost the Suns #13, #2? and Bogdan for #8.Cap wrote:I don't get this criticism. We came into the draft with #4 and #13.
