I saw you gave a list of who they passed up at 21 (in favor of Anderson), that was picked later and had value.
How about at 52? The results of the players picked at 53-60 should tell us whether picking Singh at 52 was a blunder (or whether he was about the same as the others they had to pick from). I'm interested in hearing about those later picks, and what the Mavs missed out on at 52.
There was no one drafted after 52 who stuck. A few undrafted guys, but that is pretty low as well. Royce O'neal and Christian Wood both went undrafted.
For me though, it was clear Singh was not an NBA player the first time you saw him. That was a gimmick pick. Same thing with "the Sarge". They traded Shake Milton for two later picks at the end of the draft. One being the Greek Freak's brother who played little at Dayton.
In a league when everything is so competitive, you can't throw away anything. The likely hood of finding a player late in the second round is very low, but to give away picks is frustrating to me.
