By blackace Go To PostA top 5 pick is a franchise corner stone.. Did they peg him as perhaps the best big since Shaq (impact wise not play style) during high school? No, they didn't but they did during the CBB season, so I don't really understand how he wasn't known or highly rated? If the quantifier is "was he as highly rated in 2013-2014?" then I guess you made a solid point but he wasn't some prospect who came out of no where…
Not all top five picks are created equal man. You hope you get 3-5 "can't miss" prospects every year but some years you just don't (2013)
The narrative around 2015 before any of these players played a single second of CBB was: "Okafor and Mudiay are a tier above. Everyone else in the top 7 (Towns, Johnson, Porzingis, Clifflololol) has question marks attached"
Didn't help that we thought 2014 was an all time great draft class so the outlook on 2015 was never going to be better than "pretty strong class, but not gonna top 2014"
Until these kids started playing.
Until they started playing better talent... No one pegged TD to be a star type people until his SO season and then can't miss until the end of his Jr year... but with these 1 and dones scouting really happens during the season. I mean even Rose was ranked 5th until the season started, Blake was ranked behind JJ Hickson coming out of high school. It is hard to peg these kids who are still growing and learning the basics of basketball..
By Kabro Go To Postcant believe that stupid Nash trade is still hanging over our heads ffs.
I think I remember him making a pass one time. We also got to see his hair style change.

By HasphatsAnts Go To PostCliff Alexander, Emanuel Mudiay, and Okafor were consistently ranked ahead of Towns at this point in the process. It wasn't until we got to the first few weeks of the CBB season when every one realized that KAT was a once in a generation type talent
Catching up and idk KAT has been on a lot of scouts radars since the 2012 Olympics (and college heads from before that). The only person who thought KAT was an unknown was Flip Saunders and luckily his FO staff put him unto game.

John Wall recently admitted he and Bradley Beal sometimes "dislike each other on the court" in an interview.lol
“Wall’s got jealousy issues. He’s always upset with someone who makes more money than him," said one source.
An agent described Wall's situation with Beal like this: “Whatever is public, multiply it by five and that’s how they really feel about each other. It’s probably a total disaster.”
A front-office executive says that Wall was “rankled” after James Harden signed a four-year, $118 million extension with the Rockets.
Philadelphia is sending guard Kendall Marshall to Utah for Tibor Pleiss, two future second-round picks and cash, sources tell @TheVertical..
By reilo Go To PostThey're waving Kendall since his contract becomes unguaranteed on Sunday.Don't kill my dream of having 7 point guards.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostGeorge Hill is still their best shot most likelyyo was this serious
By knux-future Go To PostMarshall is doo doo. We had no PGs and he still managed to be the worst one on the rosterDid he even play? I thought he jnjured his ACL?
Kado lied

and played limited minutes.
he flourished under the D'antoni system.
Phil Jackson had a chance to trade for Jae Crowder in 2014 and opted instead to acquire a second-round pick. Jackson calls this decision, which was part of the deal that sent Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton to Dallas, his biggest mistake as Knicks team president.

Kado only ever watched him as a laker.
He's a pass first and only PG. Who isn't that athletic. And not that great on defense.
So he's basically Rondo with out the good parts.
