    I like his pick but still wonder if we might have ended up better with an alternative... for example...

    PG Ivey
    SG KPJ
    SF Scottie Barnes
    PF Wood
    C Sengun

    Or

    PG Ivey
    SG KPG
    SF Gordon
    PF Evan Mobley
    C Sengun


    My thinking is Ivey with another 2 way player like Barnes or Mobley gets results faster. It also has advantage of moving KPJ off ball where he may be a better fit.

    Regrets are a waste of time and energy, Jalen is good and getting better, build around our core.

    NO REGRETS.

    I regret having doubts about Green pre draft and wanting Mobley at first....

    So you’re assuming we would lose the same amount of games and luck out into a top 5 pick?

    I seriously doubt we trade up for Sengun if we went with Mobley.

    To get the thread back on track,

    I have deep RaGraTs about our drafting back in 2012.
    We could have had
    12 Green
    16 Middleton
    18 Crowder/ Fournier

    And could have been adding that to the previous years draft of
    14 Leonard
    20 Butler
    38 Thomas

    There is some serious championship power right there. Obviously it is unrealistic that we would have kept them all because there is too much positional overlap, we most likely would have been trading one of Crowder/Fournier or Thomas for a serviceable PG or big man.

    The draft is so easy in hindsight.

    This is almost as bad of a thread topic as the trade our picks back to Nets for KD thread...almost.
