Anytime you can draft a big man with little to no defensive IQ with a high lotto pick, you have to do it.
Are you talking about Ayton or Bagley?

Kevin Love after 20 games was horrible meanwhile OJ Mayo was tearing it up.
The Thunder were perceived to have made a mistake drafting Harden over Evans after the 1st year.
155 players have taken 50+ threes this season. Trae is dead last out of 155.
I know it’s still early in the season and he’s only 20 and I don’t expect it to stay that way forever, but man... gotta clean up the shot selection in the meantime.
"I think Zo, I think he just sometimes he doesn't realize how great he is," James said after a 90-83 win over the Utah Jazz on Friday night at Staples Center. "The things that he possesses out on the floor, when Zo realizes how good he is on the floor, it makes him a very dynamic player and it makes us even better. And he's been doing that as of late, his aggressiveness."
"I just play better like that," Ball said, also crediting Rajon Rondo for coaching him up. "... I have a great coaching staff, great teammates pushing me every day. So I just keep hearing them in my ear, trying to do the right things on the court."
"I'm just faster than a lot of people out there," he said. "So I can get to the spots. It's just about finishing."
It was funny to watch last night. Every time Lin would come into the game, ATL would go on a run. And every time Trae would replace him, the Celtics would go on a run. Top is Trae, bottom is Lin:
Now obviously Lin isn’t in their long term plans and Trae is. And they don’t necessarily want to win right now anyway. But yeah, if you’re Trae and you’re shooting 22.6% on threes, maybe don’t pull off the dribble 5 feet behind the line like Steph. Guy is shooting a lower % than Marcus Smart. That’s gotta be demoralizing as a teammate.
Lol at Harden
Booker, Klay, and JJ’s percentages are far more egregious than Harden’s.
Harden shooting that volume of 3s is ultimately what opens up the rest of his game.

Houston gonna probably end up grabbing the 2nd seed tho. Melo was holding dem back tbh.
40% on 8-10 attempts certainly doesn’t appear to be in the cards.
The million dollar question is if/when gets to that 35% range, combine that with the rest of his arsenal & is that a better/comparable player than what Doncic will be
Kings should catch more flack for passing on Luka than Atlanta should.
Plus if you’re going to evaluate that trade wouldn’t it be Luka vs Trae + whoever they draft with the Mavs pick?
College season was up & down, but in total he ended up at 36% overall and was consistently upper mid 80s from the free throw line, still accurate from the stripe in the league.
35% doesn’t appear to be an outlandish prediction, while 45% from Luca would put him above Steph Curry.
It’s way to early to be saying who goofed by not drafting said player.
I woudn't have taken Ayton or Bagley over Luka or JJJ.Could have sworn some of y'all saying Ayton and Bagley shouldn't have been taken with a high lotto pick had both of them in your top 3-4
Doesn't accounting for fit lead you to think that Sacramento goofed even more?I wouldn’t say Sacramento goofed yet. You still have to account for fit. Bagley is still putting up good numbers on the lowest of lows
That's fair. I believed all 4 could end up special (the whole class in general) so I wasn't as nitpickyI woudn't have taken Ayton or Bagley over Luka or JJJ.
Kings gonna let WCS walk?Bagley will be putting up 21 and 11 in 2 years.
Which one of y'all is thisDid harden choke?
Kings gonna let WCS walk?
Why?Unless they get him at a discount, I’d expect them to.
Why?
If Bagley gonna be putting up 21 and 11 and if Giles is better like some of y'all were saying, Kings dynasty incoming
I mean, what are we thinking that he's going to get paid? More than $15M per?Why pay big money when you could get that production from rookie contract players
Scal was laughing his *** off at some of the shots he was throwing up, and his defensive effort. But yea the hawks have played much better either when he's out or when they go away from him on offense. Typical for a rookie guard
