Building Around Cooper: A Backward-Looking Thought Experiment

It just leans into Chicagojk’s Boston model. There’s more than one way to build a team. I’m not disagreeing necessarily. I want a franchise Guard in this draft as much as the next guy. But picking DSJ when we passed on an OG Anunoby (using the ‘17 draft as an example) isn’t the way to go either. It’s not the greatest example but the one that comes to mind. I think you get my point.
