I just asked him, he said no, never.

That has to save him a ton of time. Never having to look back and understand how he could have been wrong and instead focus fully on being right.

Time will tell. So far Wiggins is the better scorer, but Stauskas is the better rebounder/passer while shooting better from 3.

And to think the knucklehead Knicks fans loudly booed the pick when Jackson took him 4th! Most scouts said he might take a couple years to develop, but that he had the potential to be the best player in the draft. Well, he's way ahead of schedule. But so is KAT, and more likely to be the best player coming out of this draft. I see both these guys as perennial all-stars.

KPs defense was primary reason for first half lead, which was main reason in NYK win (you do not want to fall 20 points behind in B2B away game) , however the impact was bigger as we had to change how we played in second half too.

Also what is not mentioned anywhere is that both of these guys are real fighters, who play the game the right way with passion and that makes them both loveable. Also both are highly inteligent fast learners which is big deal too.

KAT would still go first in redraft tho, he is so polished and good. But Porzingis has a shot to be completely unstoppable beast due to his length. I cannot absolutely imagine what his ceiling actually is, so it is probably fair to go with Phil Jackson and his once in a generation talent ceiling.

Ouch, I had to look at up, and was disappointed to see Nik's 29% beats Wig's 26% on threes!

One thing we can all agree on...the KAT/KP and Wig/Stauskas debates will be two great battles to watch for many years!

Another reason to not like KAT.
