NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
I hope we think different about this come Christmas.
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
Is it telling that the Spurs passed on Hali too?

Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
We're going to regret this...sigh...
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
We picked the only one not in there..haha. Let’s go Jalen Smith!
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
Want to remain optimistic, but it would be good to know if we had a clear plan... I've been on record with my frustration with the backup pg spot for the past several years. I was hoping Hayes/Haliburton could put an end to that madness. Maybe we think Payne is the future?
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
Couldn't we have traded down to #15-20 and picked Smith there? Nobody seemed to think he would go this high. Jones seems to draft good players but doesn't seem to know what spot they "should" be drafted at, so he doesn't use our draft assets maximally.
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
I get the feeling we had guys higher than him, but didn't think they would be there so already made a promise.
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
I don't dislike Smith. I just loved Haliburton.
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
Smith was a top 10 mocked player for most of draft season. It’s not really the reach ppl think it is.

Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
I like having Smith. My question is what could have we added by trading down.
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
Good way to phrase it. I wouldn’t have passed on Haliburton for Smith either.

Everyone said that about Cam Johnson too.Vladimir_Taltos wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 7:14 pmWe picked an ok player...how underwhelming...just...FFFFFF....sigh...
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
THat only matters if you know your guy will be there at 15 and the team at 15 wants their guy at 10 (plus willing to pay more for it).
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
We didn’t pick Smith all that high, I think Pelicans would have taken him at 13. I’m only upset we passed on Hali

Is James Jones too lazy to trade down? Or is he too scared?Ring_Wanted wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 7:20 pmI like having Smith. My question is what could have we added by trading down.

Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
Great point.
Re: NBA DRAFT NIGHT 2020
That's exactly how I feel and how I felt last year.
In 5 years it'll be interesting to see if I still like Clarke and Haliburton more than Johnson and Smith.

We really need to find that PG to sit behind Paul though.
