32 pts, 7 reb, and 3 asst against the Clippers.
Why did we take Fab over this guy? He's already done way more than Melo lol
Look guys I know it's one game but I remember draft night I was really upset we didn't take PJIII...he honestly would be great to have in this motion offense right now.
Fab Melo was a bad bad choice.
We all know this now.
It's not only Perry Jones, we could have taken Wroten ot Plumlee. Even Tomáš Satoranský looks like an intriguing prospect by comparison to Melo (in retrospect of course).
the risk and reward are different for those two positions. finding a quality center is much more difficult, hence teams need to take greater chances to find quality centers. and as a result, there are more noticeable failures, our very own fab being one case in point.
it really does seem to be hit or miss for centers, with the majority being misses. there have been a ton of lottery busts, yet there have been high quality 5's such as DeAndre, M.Gasol, Okur, and Gortat found in the second round...meaning every GM passed on them at least once for whatever reason.
fab was a miss and i did not like the pick, but i understand ainge swinging for the fences when he already had sully in hand.
