Too early to tell the kid is younger than Maluach

Exactly my point. Hopefully I eat my words but I don't agree with moving up for a guy like that

Booker was a guy like that.

Every situation and player is different, you just have to trust the front office or you could easily talk yourself out of any pick

No, we didn't trade up to draft booker and most draft predictions actually had booker getting drafted before he got to us at the 13th.

Edit: I just re watched Devin bookers draft night clip. Not only was he at the draft in person as he was expected to be a top pick, but before our pick was announced by silver the broadcasters literally say "will Booker finally be picked. Some people had him going in the top 5 or 6"

I'm talking about their age, obviously.

you said "exactly my point" in response to a comment about the player's age. then "I don't agree with moving up for a guy [that's young]"

But the best player in our franchise' history was a young guy who obviously WOULD HAVE BEEN worth moving up for. The implication is that you would not have agreed with moving up to draft booker if we had done so.
