It is draft time again.
Lots of hope and optimism about players and all us arm chair GMs spouting who is the best the draft has to offer at "X" position. What I was wondering is: when does a pick or prospect lose his lustre?
I know this time last year people would have been willing to offer quite a bit of Tristan Thompson, likely even more 2 years ago, and 3 years ago (at draft time) who knows what would have been given up to get the Cavs #4 pick.
Derrick Williams is another player who, when drafted at #2, had a lot of hope and potential attached to him. Then it was a position issue, then a coach issue, then a medical issue (nasal cavity), then a confidence issue..... and then a trade was made and, well, there are still issues.
Based on these two examples from the 2011 draft (#2 and #4 pick) I'm going to go with somewhere under 3 years. What say ye?
