Drafting for need usually doesn’t work out. That’s how you get Josh Green instead of Bane or Maxey.
Personally, I’m not a fan of Lively either. Hope he works out.
I’m fine with the draft. Nice little trade down. But I’d have been more impressed if they could have gotten a more known commodity. The team as currently constructed looks like a 7-10 seed.
They turned one pick and Bertans into 2 picks and Holmes. You can fault their picks but you can’t fault their asset management.
