Message: [QUOTE="Samoo, post: 5342359, member: 288"] Role players don't get drafted 4th, and it appears that the NBA looks for more than just scoring, though after one season in the NBA he looks more like a solid starter than a "franchise player". Hurley used him as his primary stopper (best for the team), critical linking player (best for the team), and strong rebounder (best for the team). He was elite at all these things, hence his high draft position. What he wasn't elite at was shooting. During the last 10 games of the season, when Steph was scoring at his highest rate, he averaged around 12 points on over 9 attempts, not the height of efficiency. I think much of the pushback you get is that you seem to think that the primary role of the coaching staff is to get guys drafted whereas many here would rather win championships. Maybe Squid is a better subject for your fandom. [/QUOTE]
