Could by extension cause more swing passes to make sure we are always attacking the weaker defensive big. It hinges on poetl being able to guard 4s. Not much chance when a guy like Deng is at the 4 on defense though.

All of this depends on Casey's ability to run an adaptive offense, of course...twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Love Masai for a lot of things, but unlike others I don't find him infallible.
So far he's drafted Bruno, Daniels, Wright (over Portis) and Powell. Powell is a big win and the others are at best inconclusive. Drafting a guy that seems set to be JV's backup and a 22-year old kid from one of the weakest conferences in college ball doesn't inspire much confidence right now.
Obviously time will tell, but not having a good morning after so far.

No, it is not based on a 20 minutes Youtube but based on what everyone else has been saying.

I be very happy to see those and would feel much better about this pick.
Please share with us your sources.

In Masai We Still Trust - until proven otherwise. But still, I really want to hear Masai explain the rationale for passing on Deyonta Davis at 27.
Obviously, something else was up about Davis since 30 other teams, including the Warriors (who could use him) didn't want to give him guaranteed 1st round money. Seems almost like he was getting punished for his off-hand comment about his goal being to "... get to his 2nd contract." I can see how that attitude could really piss off GMs and especially owners, but still he's just a 19-year old kid. Now he's got to work his ass off and prove himself even to get his 1st contract .... life lesson for the young man.

I'm still fine with Poeltl, though. But most of the draft picks from Masai have been either meh or disappointmentLast edited by GuiJaeger; Fri Jun 24, 2016, 10:16 AM.

And the thought process behind picks like Siakam, which GMs do all the time, is exactly how you pass on the (admittedly, small) chance of getting a Draymond. Betting on character instead of overall talent. Sure, Siakam might be "safe" (as safe as a raw 22-year old that plays in a weak division can be, I guess), but his ceiling doesn't seem that high. For that alone, this pick is a huge disappointment for me. When you consider who was still there, and that we had already gone with a safe pick before... Oof.
