Is F Gump the only reasonable human being in this discussion?
Since when is F Gump a human being? :p
Just kidding, for me there’s kind of a sense of urgency because Flagg is still so young, but already so good and the upcoming draft being great talent wise. So that it is kind of our best shot to get young and highly talented players on a similar timeline as Flagg. In a couple of years he will be too good, so that our draft picks will be mediocre, and additionally we won’t have the 3 to 4 years of waiting that great talents need to become allstars. So we could basically waste his 5 rookie contract years in no man‘s land.
So getting two shots in this year‘s lottery - two shots to jump in the top 4 and two shots to pick a future allstar - is very sexy, isn’t it?
