We had a chance at drafting an elite athlete in Stein, but you were very much against the kid. The Knicks made a huge mistake in my opinion with Porzingis; specifically, given how poorly we have been when it comes to signing good FAs. We had an opportunity to draft a freakish athlete in Stein and Lyles or Booker.
Yeah, Stein/Booker would have been a MUCH bigger FA magnet than Porzingis/Grant.
You are aware that one lottery team took Stein off their list because of his injury, and two others just passed him medically. It's also been reported that the Kings took him as bone for Cousins after the Lakers trade talk fiasco and the Karl power play. Do you think Karl would rather have a Turner or a Kaminsky instead of Stein? The Kings also said they passed on Mudiay because he refused to work out for them or take a physical with them.
Stein is in a perfect situation with the Kings, just like Kentucky. He has some good PGs, two guys in Cousins and Gay who will take about 40 shots/game, and a coach who has a track record of dealing well with big guys with a lot of tattoos.
He's in a great situation, and hopefully his injury is not an issue for him in the future, but the draft is now over.

IMO we have enough athletic ability for how this team plays. Who were you thinking of in particular that we missed out on? DeAndre?
With Calderon Anthony Lopez affalo we don't have team speed or athletism
It's a worry, but I'm hoping their veteran smarts and defense make up for it (well, with Afflalo and Lopez). If we need to speed up, just field a lineup of Grant, Gallow, Porzingis and either Early, Williams or whomever

What? Derozan may be one th ethe most triggerhappy guys out there and nick young is not a distant 2nd.....by the way, they are highly inefficient.......NEXT
There is always something to criticize, had we picked up more athletic player at 4 the criticism would be we can pick up an athletic player in the d league. We should have done....

what ??? you did not just post that. You sober?
AA is overrated in basketball. Knowing how to play is underrated. That is why there are so many draft busts. If we have guys who know how to play, share the ball and care enough to play D, we'll be massively improved.

Sarcasm people. Sarcasm.
well ... derozan is still a very good player though a chucker. Nick Young and Derozan worlds apart.
