Really good means someone pretty darn close to starter material on a championship team. Max is not that. He played a lot of minutes on a tankathon team. Big deal.
Maybe he gets better. But he doesn’t have a pedigree that suggests that’s high probability. We will see. Anyway we need someone better than Max from this draft.
