I have to root for Stanford.
Everything with us is complicated right now. When we know for sure that Cronin is our decision maker going forward or who ever else that might be and then when we know where we are picking and how many times we are picking, then things don't need to be over complicated. If we got one of the top three picks and the big that is available at that pick was one that we like with our current personnel, I think that's who we would take there. I think if our Pelicans pick lands in Agbaji's range in this scenario he might be a better option at SF than trading that pick for Grant who in his first season with us would cost 15-16M more than Agbaji's. I don't think he'll jump up any higher than the Pelicans pick and we might even be able to trade back to get him, you know how these GMs love potential and he is already 22.
all i said was i like agbaji lol
I posted this yesterday but if they really have been interviewing other candidates and candidates with bigger names, those candidates may have voiced some of the dissatisfaction that many of us have with the trades or more accurately the draft compensation coming back in those trades that Cronin made. If that big name is successful with convincing Vulcan that they could have made the same trades with better draft assets coming back or just better trades altogether and have a vision for the future of the roster more appealing to Vulcan, then I could see one of three things happening and it happening right after the playoffs start, so definitely not right before the draft.
Then I guess all I did was "make this more complicated than it needs to be."
When someone is given the interim tag, there would be an understanding as to why and what will the process be and qualifications established.
He's 18 years old, shot 46% on threes, and can finish well around the basket. So if you close out too hard on him at the three-point line he will dribble by you and score at the hoop. If you sag off of him he'll shoot the three pointer. Some of what I have read as positives.
The only thing I can think about him is that if he got Chauncey as a coach and was put in Chauncey's system from day one in the pros, he would flourish on defense. Dude has great feet, great mobility, great athlete, great hands on that end, he just falls asleep a lot, closes out half ass way too much but when he locks in no one gets around him, when he commits on to helping he can effectively trap and blitz. There's nothing he can't do besides probably protect the rim but he can protect the paint because he can get in position and doesn't get muscled up.
