So now NBA GMS are supposed to structure their respective drafts based on how players will do...in their first game?????? This is a new level of silly.
So do we now ignore team need? Do we ignore potential? Do we ignore injury issues?
Do I think Lawson should have lasted to 17? No but at the same time, its not always about being "nba ready".
How about Danny Granger? Im sure he was at the top of your draft board in 2005 when he was drafted over more "nba ready" players like Hakim warrick and salim stoudamire.
NBA scouting is not perfect and just like every sport mistakes are made. How was JJ redick a lottery pick for instance? At the same time, lets wait three years before we start to declare the winners and losers in any draft.
