Greg was injured even during college when he had surgery on his wrist and it was pretty much down hill from that point, unfortunately the average big man during that era when I remember big men coming into the NBA, like Oden, Emka Okafor who suffered from back spasms even big man Hakeem Warrick who played for the Syracuse thier games didn't transition the same in the NBA.

I think there is enough blame to go around there. Minnesota absolutely were (and to a degree still are) a dumpster fire...but Wiggins didn't exactly do himself a ton of favors in MN, or Cleveland for that matter. Glad to see him thrive w/ Golden State though.

As a Warriors fan, he's exactly who I wanted us to have. It was just bad timing. The season where he could have gotten minutes and developed, he got hurt too. (shrugs) Before the injuries, he had some dang good looking games. Missing his first 1 1/2 seasons is what ruined him. I don't regret us not taking Ball. Ball doesn't become Ball on the Warriors, either. Where does he get the minutes to develop? Rookies rarely come into the league ready-made. You need to get playtime. I still insist if any team but the Pistons took Darko, he might have become something. He played a couple minutes of garbage time a game. You can't get better doing that.

Idk about the Lamelo take tho. I dont doubt that he’s a great player and he makes any team he’s on better, and I doubt even less that Wiseman is a bust at the moment, but the warriors didn’t need another passer/ball handler/point scorer, they needed someone to lock down the paint. Overall tho, great vid!

Bro you cracked the code! Like half these dudes are on the Pistons now! That cannot be a coincidence they gotta be doing that on purpose for whatever reason.

Source of the rankings would be great. I remember Tyson Chandler and Carmelo being the #1 in the two years prior to Lebron. Also remember OJ Mayo instead of Gordon

Jahlil Okafor should be doing Ah twins tower thing wit Embiid right now

James Wiseman is a much better fit for the Warriors as they have plenty of guards already.
