Point em' out #2: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

[davos]

MKG: Not the prize we needed after a 7-59 season.

 

Basically this

 

These draft moves are continuosly head scratchers.

Sigh. Please give up this narrative. Barnes is not a better player than MKG. MKG outplayed Barnes both times they played last year. Barnes is a role player who was put in the perfect position for him. MKG...not so much.

Barnes is way better than MKG the dude was putting up 20 every night in the playoffs last year it seemed

Barnes, the "amazing scorer"- 14.27 points per 36 minutes

MKG, the "terrible scoring role player"- 12.27 points per 36 minutes

 

Keep in mind that Barnes is 2 years older and gets open shots off of double teams on Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Not to mention the SIGNIFICANT decrease in defense.

MKG is the superior player in every facet aside from scoring. Unfortunately that seems to be the number one thing armchair gms grade players on. Prior to the Iggy acquisition, GS would've jumped at a straight up Barnes for MKG swap, hell MKG's most accurate projection may be Iguodala.

MKG is and will be a good player in the league. 

 

But dammit why couldn't we have gotten the Unibrow

 

Could've gotten Drummond

 

PG: Kemba

SG: McLemore/Hendo

SF: Taylor

PF: Jefferson

C: Drummond

Yeah, don't know how we missed out on Drummond. I'm sure every GM would've taken him 2nd.

Wait... he went 9th? Well I'm sure the other 22 GMs would've taken him second...
