I also think it's important to consider the minutae. Even minor aspects can become major factors. We'd all be happy if Greivis landed a 1st but the throw in 2nd became norm too.

Apollo wrote: View PostDavis had lottery talent but red flags. Skal had an interesting skillset but was overhyped and bombed in workouts. Siakam was the most NBA ready of the three and the safest pick. I don't know which turns out to be the best, my money is on Davis though. That said, I get why they took Siakam even though it caught me off guard.
What exactly were those red flags with Davis?

golden wrote: View PostDeyonta Davis or Skal over Siakam? Yep.
IMO he easily has the most potential. He doesn't seem like the brightest light bulb but he has a great combination of size, length and athleticism to be a prototypical small ball C would have been much better option than Bebe as a back up. I don't mind Siakam because he can end up being like another Amir which is ok better than busting out like Bruno but Deyonta could have been really developed into the type of C we seem to be looking for right now (defensive minded, able to catch lobs, shot block and athletic enough to handle the perimeter ok). Oh well....thankfully we won't feel the regret for awhile until Gasol retires.

I think we will be regretting Skal he has all the raw talent for this new age NBA.

golden wrote: View PostYeah, I recall Davis had one interview where he said his goal was "....to get to his 2nd NBA contract." smh. Talk about turning an owner or GM immediately against you. Of course every prospect thinks about that stuff, but he actually said it out loud in front of media.
I still believe he has all the physical tools to be a good player in the league but he better find a way to build some belief in himself. It's going to be hella tough being buried behind Gasol....maybe he can be our next "Bismack" in a few years and pick him up for pennies on the dollar.
