Hes definitely not Steph...never said he was...ive actually said several times here over the past months Young will likely be a bust...but give the kid a chance...if ever there was an era of the nba where a guy like Young could excel, he found it...chuck 3s and see what happens...its not like the league is full of defensive players right? I made a ton of money that college hoops season where Curry became a college superstar...i know better than most Young is nothing like Steph, all im saying is give him a few years and lets see what happens...if he can shoot the 3, there will always be a place for Young in the league...if Mike Miller lasted as long as he did, Trae has hope
And Steph was a Junior entering the draft and Young is a Freshman. If there's one universal truth to drafting, it's that nobody knows. Analyst don't know. Punters on covers definitely don't. I don't like the pick either, simply because I like Schroeder and the league is getting taller and longer, but to hear guys say he'll never be this or that is comical. Everybody claims to be experts on Steph now but even after his breakout year there's not anyone who can honestly say they had him a top 3-5 type of prospect. Hindsight is always 20/20 and everyone is a draft expert after the fact. They were smart to pick up an extra 1 by moving down 2 spots. I would've grabbed Big Mo personally but it's all a crap shoot.
Al Horford?
The Hawks blew their franchise dumping him. The Hawks management is almost as bad as the Hornets.
Another point is this.
Tony Ressler owns the Hawks - I knew the guy during his salad days as a junk bond guy So Cal. A businessman-promoter first, he wants to have a shiny new hood ornament to get more return on his investment. He insisted on this, no matter what the basketball folks said.
As far as comparisons to Steph, it's apples and oranges. They're totally different at different stages of getting drafted going to different places.
Looking into this deeper, isnt the current Hawks GM from the Warriors tree? So it looks like they are trying to completely rebuild this team from the ground up using the Warriors blueprint of collecting shooters and going from there...we shall see.
If you truly think that, why dont you list your top 5 picks from yesterday and back up your ridiculously jealous comment.
