PRESEASON GAME 1: MIN vs. DAL

Very well said. It´s the sign of a badly run franchise/team. Draft picks should not primarily be based on workouts/combine. That should probably make up 10-15% of the decision-making process and mainly on the soft skills, not the basketball skills. To learn more about their character and personalities.
The same with the old " he has to win 4 of the next 5 games or he is gone"- coaching ultimatum. You either believe in a coach or not. And the same with trade player evaluation.

I simply disagree that that's what they did with these picks. Dereck's learning curve over recent years and OMax's improvement over the course of his college career indicate that the workout/combine were cherries on top, not the solitary reasons to pick them.
