I guess we just have to be patient. It will take years to undo all the Thibs.
agree.
In addition to the good work in the draft (imo), I like the fact that Rosas has not done anything stupid to **** up our cap situation like Thibs did. Rosas is working within the limitations of what Thibs screwed up with his eye on the future.
Not much discussion on the draft yet, but I like the trade and I like the pick. Many "experts" had Culver as the 3rd best player in the draft and some had him as high as 2. He reminds me of Okogie, but longer and more skilled offensively. He has a good BBIQ and plays his ass off. He's projected to be somewhere between an avg starter and a low level all star I think, depending how much his shot improves. I read comparisons to him with K Leonard are pretty similar, similar body type, similar stats (Leonard always rebounded better, but Culver had some other stats that were better), but no one expects him to be quite as good as Leonard is. Giving up Saric was not a bad price to pay to move up for him.
Rosas has given me no reason to doubt that he knows what he's doing. yet.
