I thought he was a bit slow footed coming out...which was why I was more than ok with us passing on him at #2...


my pointing out the shortcomings of Duke players in the NBA aside....I'm not rooting for the kid to fail at all....

I'm becoming more and more convinced that the reality of drafting 19years hasn't sufficiently adjusted the perception of those young players...nor the upside of drafting them....

what you see with Jah...is one of the risks you take drafting 19 year olds in this era..... there are shortcomings in there games.....there are maturity issues...issues of work ethic..the potential for things to get in their heads(ie. Fultz).... any number of things that can happen to 19year olds you draft... I'm not sure that people are really clear on these things being part of what you're opting into when you draft them....
