WERE THEY RIGHT TO PICK FOR SIZE OR IS IT ALWAYS BETTER TO PICK THE BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE? .

JESSE'S THOUGHTS

repost do.asido .

I'll never understand why General Managers will sacrifice talent for fit especially with bigs. The risk ratio for drafting bigs is way too high especially if you've got exceptional talent on the board. This still exists today and I dont know why it continues to occur. Here's some examples of this happening...
.
.
Ayton > Luka & Trae
Bender > Hield, Murray, Sabonis
Kaminsky > Booker
Thabeet > Harden, Curry, DeRozan
Oden > Durant (Portland again smh)
Darko > Melo, Bosh, D-Wade
Olowokandi > Dirk, Carter, Pierce, J-Will, Bibby
Camby > Kobe, Nash, Allen, Marbury, Abdur-Rahim
Bradley > Penny

I'm sure I missed a few but I don't know what more to say. Now of course sometimes it pays off to draft for size and it's not that Ayton won't be a good player... but he's no Luka or Trae. Kaminsky definitely not a Booker and Thabeet, Darko didn't play much after being drafted. Darko got a ring tho lol.

Always draft the best player available! Agree or no?
