You have to win or lose playing the young guys.
Give them a little time, by the end of the year there will be 5-10 others.The Bobster wrote:But how many 1st round picks from last year's draft are actually ready to contribute for big minutes? Maybe Tatum? Kuzma? Markkanen? Anybody else?In2ition wrote:Hmm, I agree they couldn't, but they may start 5 1st rounders and possibly 3 drafted in the top 10 of a good draft. All I am saying is that there will be people asking whether it could happen, and with how young teams are nowadays, they will think it's a legit arguement.TheOriginalOriginal wrote:Sure Duke is big and strong, but they are children. The NBA is grown men who've been working out 24-7 for years. Basketball is their job, that's way different than a college kid who has to study. There is a reason NCAA stars end up role players and most don't make it, there is a huge skill/strength gap between college and pros. There is 0% chance Duke can beat the worst NBA team. The worst NBA team is filled with top NCAA players from all over the place. Just cannot see it.The Bobster wrote:In2ition wrote: You are probably right that they will be wrong, but Duke is crazy big and athletic this year that they might actually be able to hang physically or be close.
Just....... no.

I don't think anyone around here would say otherwise.specialsauce wrote:Again, this team is poorly constructed. We are not just a few years of development from competing for a championship. We need a second star who is rather a PG or a C. We need several shooters.
The strategy is more about holding assets over complete team building at this point. I think McD would say the same thing if he was to be candid about it. Eventually, some of those redundant players are used to acquire a player that fits in the roster elsewhere. We just haven't been able to make that deal, for whatever reason. I agree with you that it's not ideal to take four players for two positions in the last four drafts.specialsauce wrote:You can’t have both Warren and Jackson on this team. You just can’t. They can never see the floor together because neither can shoot for s***. Same with Bender and Chriss. Several redundant players. You need to pick the few you feel are most valuable as a unit, and trade the rest to find pieces that fit together as a team.
He's looked how I expected he would. He always plays hard, but makes mental errors that nearly every rookie makes. His shooting is streaky, which I also expected. I think his ceiling is Andre Igoudala.Shabazz wrote:Jackson has looked...not great so far.
Useless is a little strong on a night that he pulled down 14 rebounds and had 2 blocks.ShelC wrote:Len is really useless. He plays a foot shooter than he is.
