I don't like Saric.

I don't know, I think I'd snatch up with the 21st pick. He's not flashy, but hell I think he's ready to step in and be a good pro. I think the teams that try to get superstars with picks that low are the teams that screw up. I say reach for the stars with 14 and get the guy that you know will be reliable with the 21st pick. Saric will be a good roll player.

He wasn't even ready to step into the Adriatic League and be a good pro there. He isn't close to NBA ready. He is a project.
 
Maybe I'm jumping the gun on not liking Saric, but I would sure hope that a guy we're drafting didn't just come off a season where he shot 39%(2)/30%(3)/50%(FT) (in the ADRIATIC LEAGUE!) and could guard a position on the floor.
 
For reference, the Adriatic League is the league Tomic was in when we drafted him. He dominated that League and then got signed to Real Madrid. It is a middling Euro league.
 
The 50% ft shooting does bother me a lot but as far as the other shooting stats go, he does have some shooting skills and he's young with some floor skills as I've read about him. I think he has some upside, and think he will improve as he gets older and gets used to the speed of the game. Didn't Hayward shoot under 30% from three his last year at Butler, and I don't think he's shot under 40% from three at the nba level. My gut tells me he will be better then the guys that will probably be there at pick 21.

Name me one player who shoots 50% from the FT line who is a good shooter.

1 thing remains extremely constant across all levels of basketball, the FT line is 15 feet away from the goal and no one guards you while you shoot them.
