I agree with your point about finding quality back PGs but I think our roster with the 2-3 young ballhandlers could really use a vet who backs them and provides a safety net. It would be a better addition imo than another youngster who we'd need to develop and not be able to rely on the same way.
Delly and TJ McConnel seem to come in and be able to run a NBA offense right out the gate. There are guys like that in every draft or even undrafted like they were. They just have limited upside so team pass them over. The NBA draft is so much about upside that there is unfound value to be had with these types of guys.
If we are going to sign McConnel or Carsuo, I worry we will have to use the whole MLE and it will have to be for 3 or 4 years. I feel like it's only a position of true need for 1 or 2 years.
It's like Delly getting overpaid by the Bucks and they didn't need him after the 1st year. They drafted a tall PG in the early 2nd round in Brogdon and didn't need Delly.
I think this draft is rip for the picking of 6'5+ PGs that are upperclassmen so should be better developed and more ready out of the gate but might have some better long term upside than McConnel or Carsuo.
