Liam is such a high quality player who was a big producer on Monteverde, the number 1 draft pick Cooper Flagg’s team. To me it’s crazy that he was that far down but I guess we’ll see. Will he have the opportunities that Flagg gets? No, so it’s going to be hard to do any comparisons regarding production and success. He will be at a disadvantage until he gets reasonable PT.
His injury held him back significantly I contend.

No, “worst case” would be something like a career ending injury after which he never got drafted at all. Getting drafted in the first round of the NBA draft really cannot ever be rationally looked back upon as the result of a wrong decision…

Again. We keep circling this.
It’s not the wrong decision financially.
It’s questionable if another injury free year would have a) vaulted him into the top ten and b) gotten him more money and an easier adjustment to the NBA developmentally.

I don’t deny the possibility that another year could have done that. But I contend it’s never the result of an overall wrong decision to have been drafted anywhere in the first round…
…Which of course is an obvious perspective - I only bothered to type it because the person I was responding to used the term “worst case” to describe Liam becoming a lottery pick after next year.
