You can like a player and still think of them as a mega project. The Suns traded Kevin Durant for Maluach as the center piece of the trade and then immediately got two guys to play over him because they didn't think he was even slightly close to an NBA player yet.

I'm saying nobody who had Ace #3 on their board thought he could never play on the ball and it would take 4-5 years for him to be good. People who like Ace like him precisely for his on ball creation scoring.

I mean, he was so incredibly far away as an on-ball scorer that it would make me even more confused if Austin thought he could reach that potential anytime soon.

Again, you don't draft 18 year olds who were bad in college if you're planning to turn this thing really soon and your star has a pretty obvious age countdown on them. Even if you think the 18 year old will be great eventually.

It was like the Blazers drafting Sharpe #6... The future was pretty obvious after that.

If your opinion was the only opinion to ever exist and nobody could ever think something different, you might be onto something. I'm not even disagreeing with you on his on ball scoring, what I'm saying is that many people were enchanted by his PPG and self created scoring.
