Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 3466635, member: 2458"] Yup. You pretty much always should swing for the fences for the highest upside guy available. You’re not winning squat in the NBA without superstars. Unless you’re already a championship level team with superstars and you just need a solid “sure thing” to be pretty good but limited ceiling guy to fill a role and a hole like, say...Josh Hart. Otherwise, as soon as there are no likely stars available, you better gamble. I always remember my dad(Sixers fan) saying they should pick Kobe #1 in ‘96. Literally probably the only guy in the world saying that. And this was in ‘96 with a loaded draft! And AI was great! But damnit if he wasn’t right. They really should’ve picked Kobe. So should 11 other teams. [/QUOTE]
