Alright fine, I'll take my 1st weekend exit glasses off. Now, I see your point.
I actually think the real indictment of the staff is they haven’t evaluated talent well enough in the NIL era.
Gone after big names instead of grinding the tape.
Yeah, this I agree with. They did a better job of it this last offseason. Melvin and Tre were hits, especially Melvin for what Bill loves but you wish he could have shot it a bit better. JD was the big miss. He got starter money to rack DNPs. That one really stung because they really could have used the shooting he offered. A big part of why things fell apart is because teams could blitz Darryn on ball screens because there was typically at most one other player out there that the defense had to truly respect from three point range. I can't really say any of those were lazy takes just going after names.
Dusty May is someone who has done an incredible job. Yaxel was obvious but none of their other portal additions were when you looked at most transfer ranking lists from last offseason.
