It´s Cuban. Let´s hope it´s not more.
Btw awesome pick that Roby at #37. Daniel Gafford went #38 (+21 NRTG per 100 poss on the Bulls). GSW´s own Eric Paschall went #40.
Not that I disagree that Roby looked like a scrub in Summer League, 14 days after they evaluated him to be an NBA talent.
I seriously like to know whether our scouts are this bad, or they literally draft late 1st and 2nd round guys based on who shows the least desire to actually play in the NBA, hence the lowest annoyance level.
Cuban: So Mr. Draymond what are your ambitions for the future.
Draymond: I want to be the nastiest defensive player on the planet.
Cuban: Maybe car salesman in Florida?
Draymond: No sir, I want to play in the NBA and be a star.
Cuban: Thank You, for your time. *scratches him off the list*
I find it odd too. This same exact scouting department are the ones that nailed Brunson, Crowder, found DFS and Kleber. Found Yogi. JJ Barea. Made sure that we drafted Luka.
And yet after their string of finding diamonds in the rough, they pick a guy like Roby who they had no intention of keeping at 45? They went from 37 to 45 for no apparent reason. They must've not liked anyone they saw there, but like you pointed out Gafford has been solid, Paschall has been the only exciting player on the Warriors this year.
I don't think the Mavs are bad drafters, BUT I do think if they're not motivated to prep all year long for the draft, they seem to punt it.
