Anyone who looked at his drafts and player acquisitions can't even question his eye for talent. His decision making in trades to acquire some of that talent was bad and his over estimating certain players work ethic and leadership was his problem. Crawford was and is dumb, eddy was lazy and steph wasn't tough enough to take it to the next level. As a head scout and talent evaluator would be his best role. The hatchet job that was done on him by the ny media will be legendary in terms of the bullshit and cism. Compare the treatment that layden who was 5x as bad got versus zeke, if you dont see the cism then i don't know what to tell you. And im not one who even screams cism like that.
