Man, if they got that draft right Dallas may have a championship. Maxey, Bane, McDaniels. I was right on Maxey and Bane, but wrong on McDaniels. 2-3 is better the Mavs 0-2.
I have a lot of negatives on Morey. Dislike his arrogance and how he is willing to always upgrade a team instead of letting internal growth happen. He knows talent though. Both in the draft, UDFA and FA. He builds pretty good rosters.
It would be fascinating where VJ, Harper and Kon would fit if they combined both drafts. Harper had a similar uneven season as Peterson. Peterson probably has the higher ceiling, but I think Harper may have been considered in the top 3. I think.
I think Kon falls out of the top 5 (if we just go by their freshman seasons) and probably ends up in the 5-8 guard group to a team not needing a point guard.
VJ would be the fascinating one. Didn't have as good of a season as Acuff, Wagler or Flemings but come into college very hyped. Has amazing athleticism and good size. I don't believe he is top 3. I think some team may pick him over Wilson, but not very much. So he to is probably in the 5-8 guard range of this draft. I think I would have taken VJ over several of the guys ranked in this years class.
I said offer AD for PG13+ #3 and take Edgecombe. Not sure Morey does it, but that´s the kind of big boys GMing that we need right now. Big decision and being right. Imagine having Flagg + Edgecombe + top 10 pick. Heck even PG13 would be more useful than the player return from Washington, though I figured he was done.
