They Got Drafted...Then Killed Their Own Teams

There are some people comparing Killian Hayes' career trajectory to Ricky Rubio but I think that's insulting to Rubio IMO the guy has multiple seasons scoring at least 10 ppg and also having multiple seasons having 8apg he's also a starting caliber PG in the NBA most of his career

Patrick Williams is another example of Bulls doing a poor job of developing young talent. Markkanen, and Kris Dunn never improved while they were here, and it took five seasons for Coby White to become a solid starting player. Pat Williams and Ayo Dosunmu’s development mirrors that of Markkanen. Dalen Terry hardly played his rookie season and is now averaging about 10 mins a game his sophomore year. Zach Lavine is the only success story the Bulls have but I would argue that he came pretty developed already he just needed a team where he would have more touches of the ball. Something tells me the reason AK doesn’t blow it up and rebuild is because he either doesn’t have confidence in his ability to draft or (the more likely reason) he doesn’t have faith in developing young players

Man Golden State drafting killed their dynasty after having a golden generation of drafting the core of said dynasty!! Crazy!!

Its hard to say Davion "killed" his team - Or is even the worst person on the kings. He's still an amazing defender, and was really great in the playoffs, hitting a dagger in game 2, and in that game holding Curry to shooting splits that would make Killian Hayes blush. The issue is that the Kings are a guard heavy team, and that his best upside being defense is kinda negated by the fact that Keegan Murray is also becoming a high level defender, who can handle the ball just as well and is way better as a shooter. Davion's numbers, along with his minutes, have been steadily going up.

“James wiseman is the softest center” Deandre Ayton: “hold my bee…soda”

Why Davion is in this list? He is a defender, back up PG. He is not hurting his team when he is doing his role.

Damn bro hates killian hayes 🤣 I get it tho.

Andy had no reason goin for Wiseman’s life like that lmfaooo

I can't agree with what you saying about pat you can't expect a player to develop when you have 2 ball hogs Lavine and DeRozan and when Lavine was out he scored consistent 20 point a game

I’m absolutely in the dark on what led to Killian being drafted so high, he shot like 30% from three overseas but they where talking about him like he was Harden

All motivation that Poole had went out his body with that Draymond punch

Williams is the type of player many teams want next to their stars. He's not the star that a top 4 pick should be, but he's the epitome of three-and-D. His three point percentage is elite, and he's a good defender. He has some similarity to Finney-Smith, though he's a better shooter and hasn't developed as well on defense. He's young enough that he could still get much better, but even as is, many teams would love to add him in the mix.

i dont think Davion is hurting the kings he is only getting a handful of minutes and a lot of DNP's. he was great his rookie year but his shoot has gotten worst over time.

You can tell Andy dont actually watch the Bulls lol. Pat's role isnt to score because they have other guys who specialize in it. When Pat was called to do it he can do it just fine.

It’s so crazy seeing Reddish struggle offensively when in HS and in College he was viewed as a smooth versatile scorer and even compared to Paul George coming out

Davion has found his way back into the rotation as of recently and has played extremely well. He does what we drafted him to do defensively. His shot will come with more min and i love him but know he can excel as a starter

Who's here after Killian got waived 😂

Killing his own team Hayes

Patrick Williams is a solid player. You aren't going to score much if you're going to be the fifth scoring option. Is he playing 4th overall worthy? Not really, but there have been worse. Should the Bulls move on from Vucevic, DeRozan, Lavine and tank once they have full control of their picks again, I think Patrick Williams could be the next Luol Deng for the team.

Man I've said this for a while. If Golden State had drafted Melo then their number twelve pick the next year is probably off the table. But their seventh pick the following year stays where it is because it was The Wolves pick from the DLo trade. Just imagine that team today with Melo and Franz Wagner who they could have taken over Kuminga 🤯
