I don't think Stauskas will bomb. He'll be able to play in the league. I just feel you can get a shooter guard pretty easily in FA. You can't get players like Vonleh or Payton easily.
I think that my greatest frustration is that this team has had three glaring weaknesses for many years. For over a decade really.
1. Distributing PG
2. Small Forward of any worth
3. Shotblocker
Outside of SF, these continue to be ignored problems. Two different organizations, but the same mistakes over and over. At a certain point, you have to look at all those years of losing and ask "Why constant hole has the team had?" and then fill that hole.

I still don't get it, and I'm trying really hard to. Shooters can be had in FA, and Ben was drafted as a shooter. He actually had identical numbers to Nik but more rebounds and less assists. Ben showed more potential IMO, but Nik can handle it and pass better. Doesn't make sense no matter how you try to justify it.
We can't keep ignoring defense. Well, WE can, but that's why we're consistently bottom dwellers. I'd imagine we'll get at least a second rounder, but no idea who we'll take. Everyone I like is gone. No interest in the 2nd rounder types that we worked out.
