Hard disagree, not on your facts, but on your analysis.

The NBA is increasingly looking for all around guys who are smart and don't have huge weaknesses.

Looks at the playoffs this year and who is getting on the court and who is not. The NBA is increasingly becoming a weak-link sport where how good you are is defined more by how bad your worst player on the court is than how good your best is. If you can't shoot, the defense will play 5 on 4, if you can't defend, you will be mercilessly hunted until you are forced to iso against the other teams best player, over and over again.

The guys you mentioned all had an elite skill but also were not all-around players, which is why none of them stuck in the league. Players like Folefac, if they develop, won't be top draft picks most likely, but will catch on with a team and then have long careers being the connective tissue on teams with stars. Look at Draymond, look at CMB on Toronto, or even guys like Dort and PJ Tucker. That's probably the path for Folefac for the skill set he has.
