They are letting this Melo shyt control far too much into their thinking... they could have really came up with this draft and got deeper... now I'm not sure WTF is going on
on paper this is the deepest pool of talent I've seen, but they must know Melo is a shoe-in and they are building pieces to trade and build around Rose, Melo, and Noah. That's the only reasoning.
Could have had a solid SG that could play both ends, took a flyer on Lavine, or just waited and took Rodney Hood - who is a great shooter in his own regard and better athletically then McDermott. The fact that he fell so far is mind boggling TBH. I'm a Duke Homer but I think Rodney Hood will be the steal of the draft when it all comes down to it.
