KPJ and Windler were 30th and 26th picks, respectively.
Hardly “setbacks” to have picks at that level fail to produce.
Well, my point was that pretty much everything needs to go right for a rebuild to happen so fast. If KPJ was killing it on our team and Windler was Duncan Robinson, the outlook on the rebuild would be much different.
I think those are setbacks. People act like Koby Hates wings, but he drafted 2 talented ones in 2019 and another the following year. He drafted as many wings as all other positions combined.
Keldon Johnson is still on people's minds, but if you asked me prior to last year, even with WIndler's leg, if I would take Johnson over Windler + Porter jr, I would have said no. Seems like a no brainer now.
Look at the Hawks. You need to hit on late picks like John Collins and Kevin Huerter to speed up that rebuild.
