While Dieng and Shabazz are at least rotation-worthy players, neither have shown that they are above average rotation players yet. May be they will eventually, may be they won't. But neither are there yet. And LaVine, well, he might be a 3-4 year project. So far, he's done nothing but hurt us while on the court. That's fine from a developmental standpoint....if he actually develops. Time will tell.

I agree that it's too early for final conclusions on Flip's drafting, but early returns look terrific. Drafting success has as much to do with who you don't draft as who you do, and I'm delighted with the poor results of the guys Flip passed on. Dieng, Bazz, and Zach are better than the guys who were projected to be picked around the time Flip was drafting,
