We gotta start a W.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I mean, the "switchable wing" who fits that ideal in this draft was Scottie Barnes. So should Koby have passed on Mobley to take Barnes

Oh, this past draft was a home run aside from not getting back in somehow. Mobley's ability is exactly what they need. He is long, challenges all five positions defensively... give me four more!

The problem is the prior three drafts. We don't have anyone besides Clarkson who can penetrate? How about an undersized scoring guard! Wait he isn't a point guard... let's take another undersized scoring guard who should be a better passer and a shooting guard who might be mentally disturbed! Oh, our perimeter defense is a mess... let's take this shooting guard who is almost long enough to be a wing!

And as much as people are pissed about Windler's development... that was absolutely the right pick. The problem with his selection is they only did it once. If the Cavs save a few second rounders along the way, they roll the dice on a developmental wing more than just one time. Everyone gives the Kings shit, and for years they deserved it... but the past two drafts they take cheap second round swings on swingmen to develop. That's exactly how you solve the lack of switchable wings and it's eventually going to pay off.
 
Okoro isn't scoring over 30 again unless it's a game at the end of the season when other teams have already packed it in.
If he doesn't have to or never gets the chance to score that much, I fail to see how that is worth complaining about. Now if he isn't hustling and getting better at defense, & being put in position to finish plays on top of not being used on ball like he should be to develop him, because they are suddenly more concerned with winning a playoff game over developing, than sure they should just trade him for some middle of the road sf that brings his best game in a contract year if lucky unless the team is already a contender.
That last part was sarcasm btw.
I really think the expectations for what some think he should be doing in this cluster F of a preseason ensemble are very irrational but even if there is validity to have some concerns once the season starts it won't mean he cannot be developed , even if the poor win now fans can't handle another season of shame
