However 10 is a high pick and it is totally fair to judge Nico a few years from now if he badly missed on that pick. Mid 20s. Not so much. No blame there if you whiff.
I think it’s fair to judge that pick in a couple of years if he’s not contributing. Absolutely.
What I don’t understand is the feeling that I’m getting that they reached for Greg Oestertsg because they needed a center. I think Lively is a GREAT looking young player. I don’t understand why we’re assuming that we need to be patient with Lively but are positive that the other guys they could’ve drafted wouldn’t have required the same patience.
Cason Wallace did NOT pop to me in that first game. Just a guy, to me.
