Still, I'd be lying to you if I didn't admit that I threw my remote in the general direction of the sun when he selection wasn't Saddiq Bey, who was perfect for us and came from a program we trust. It's still fun to play out the what ifs had we drafted him. Nothing earth shattering but we chased that wing addition from the Richardson trade to the Bullock signing & then failed to make use of the TPE we created moving JR to BOS. Assets and cash not maximized, to a degree, by selecting Green instead. Since growth isn't linear, Green still has a chance to become the better player. I am pulling for him.
I think most of us (excluding some of the more stubborn) are in agreement by now that both Bey and Bane would've been better selections.
But, as you say, it's nice that we finally have reason to believe Green is an NBA player, and possibly a very good one.
