Hmmm. We could have Kolek or Collier at 27. Makes me wonder a bit if Dillingham is worth it. Dillingham better be special.
I think you’re right about me over-reacting. In Calipari I’ll trust.WildWolf2813 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:48 pmYou’re overreacting.Lipoli390 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:43 pmYes, and that’s my concern, Q. Trading up to #8 we could have drafted Devin Carter, Nikola Topic or Carlton Carrington. All three have terrific offensive skills but also have the size to compete defensively in the NBA. The more I reflect on this the more troubled I am by pick.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 9:39 pm
...and Conley and Trae Young have struggled to get even to a Conference Finals, so it's not like their size doesn't eventually catch up to them in the playoffs. When our standards were "for the love of God can we just make the playoffs!?" Billingham would be a home run. When the standards are trying to win a title, small-ish guards are kind of a problem late in the playoffs. He absolutely needs to add weight.
Dillingham at worst should be judged in comparison to Carter, but keep in mind. Kentucky guys almost always pan out. Trust in Calipari’s pedigree.
