Do we still have trust in Masai?

[KeonClark]

YES.

I do not like that #27 pick. At all. Like, I think we'll look back and tremble about it.

But it's not that bad that I don't trust him.

I worry about our scouting team though. Powell is the only real, tangible hit we have right now.

The highest we've picked under masai before tonight is 20, and only since 2014. To even have Powell so far is pretty succesful.

If players drafted after Poeltl end up better than him, then yeah

This thread seems premature

Moment when JP is the safest pick and the least likely player to be a bust behind Simmons and Ingram...He doesn't have the highest upside, but the least likely to be a bust. Probably will end up anywhere between a role player to a solid starter.

Was this draft disappointing? No
Do I still trust Masai? 100%

I swear this happens every draft lol. Why would you lose trust in Masai over 2 draft picks? There literally is no reason why you should not trust him, he has a solid draft history. Faried, Fournier, Powell, Wright, and Bruno (Tough to say still).

I have to say this was a disappointing draft for us ... ESPN radio is raving about Sabonis and how he can be an 11 and 7 guy right now. They are the Davis the steal of the draft !!!
Our #9 picks has bust written all over him.

How disappointing was this ??

actually the analytics and experts rated poeltl the least likely of any player to be a bust ... maybe not an all star but the very least a productive player

and there is always the chance he becomes an efficient back up that other gms believe "if only he got starter minutes " ( like bledsoe on the clips ) and we can trade him

not disappointed. i think people clamouring that they know how we messed up are going to calm down. they always do. and trust in masai. our pick has the lowest bust potential in the draft this year, i think.

i wanted ellenson, i wanted portis, i wanted knight. not disappointed. understand that these guys know more about basketball than me, watched these players specifically for hours and hours. they didn't just randomly say words that came together as names and that is our player.

i can't believe how against the grain masai and company are. the Saikam pick, wow. out of left feild. when luwawu went a couple before us i thought it was skal. i was scared it was skal but could live with skal at 27 much more than at 9. then bam. 6'10 with a 7'3 wingspan pf. and he plays with heart. it is basically skal+effort. wright, powell, bruno, saikam, bebe. hahaha. we are hydra now. get past one hand another hand takes its place.

Trust that wasn't Stephen Smith & Skip Bayless. They are probably raving more about the trade that Presti pulled off.
