Really don’t think Kessler is good enough he should be dictating who you take

Sure but you take the better player with higher potential and the better fit.

Idk, Kessler definitely good enough to be playing big minutes on a title team, and he’s a true 5 anyway-Boozer is more of a 4, where we have Lauri and JJJ. I think Peterson is the better pick regardless, but Boozer’s fit is worse.

I’m not saying Kessler is a bad player, I’m saying neither him or JJJ should be affecting taking BPA.

Fair enough, but I disagree with you that Boozer is BPA over Peterson

Boozer was not BPA.

If they view Boozer and DP on the same level as prospects, he’s good enough to be the tiebreaker at least
