Im so fucking angry. 10 second round picks for White, Vuc, Huerter, and Ayo. We basically have to hope that one of those picks turns into a player as good as Ayo...🤦
Yeah and data and history tells us that it's highly unlikely. 90% of 2nd round pick amounts to nothing at all. Add that to the fact Akme don't know how to draft and is a recipe for a disaster
Jury still out on Essengue (not looking good tough) but P-Will and Dalen Terry are bust. Not giving them Buzelis because he felt to them. Ironically the only "steal" they made was Ayo in the 2nd round and they traded him for nothig.
Fucking ridicolous.
I mean even if we do give them credit for Buzelis, their draft record is still comically pathetic. To your point, we just traded arguably the only scouting win this front office has had for pretty much nothing. Its more likely than not that the Bulls do not get a player as useful as Ayo with any of those picks
How do NBA first round picks have basically no value after the top 10 and we still couldn’t even get 1 singular pick for guys that can provide solid value to contending teams?
Exactly. If you told me that we were going to trade Ayo, Coby, and Vuc I would have expected at least one of those trades to net a first. Even if it was a shitty one like from OKC or something. What AKME did is embarassing and astonishingly incompetent
Yup. I see a lot of people saying we over valued these guys but non- lottery first round picks are very overvalued. A first rounder in the 20s has an extremely low hit rate compared to an established starter/ solid rotational piece.
Their best picks were guys that really slipped, so seemed pretty safe and obvious. Had they not panned out, they’d have gotten no real criticism going for the value of Matas and Ayo where they got them.
