I agree, Ross is a highly questionable pick for #8. Personally, I thought Lamb would’ve been a better fit. That being said, Colangelo isn’t an idiot. Wait until this Valenciunas kid arrives. They’ve got some good pieces.
Maybe Ross showed something in workouts. I don’t think DeRozen is a project. He has shown consistent development in each season. He may not ever average 25 a game, but he’s a 15-16/game guy with great athleticism. Although I view their 8th pick with great skepticism, perhaps we should just wait and see.
