33. "LaVine has come along faster than I thought." In response to In response to 0 Thu Dec-15-16 01:55 PM by Frank Longo
Improved every part of his game from college, especially finishing with the ball in his hands in the half-court, where he was Matt Jones-level terrible in college, and displaying a better feel for the game.
But I don't exaggerate when I give you credit for being the *only* person who had LaVine over Randle-- anywhere. Mock drafts, scouts, here... no one had LaVine over Randle. IIRC, KB and I gave you a raised eyebrow when you picked him over Randle on our podcast.
LaVine was never going to go over Randle unless you were Kevin Costner in Draft Day writing "Draft Zach LaVine" on a Post-It before leaving in the morning for your job as the Lakers GM. So if it was a horrible pick (I still don't think it was), then it was the horrible pick that literally anyone would've made at the time other than you.
