JJ has a one track mind and he prefers signing/drafting 3&D finesse wings like Bridges, Cam Jo, Crowder & Jalen Smith.
While 3&D players are necessary on a team you can't keep going for these kinds of players, you absolutely need some physicality and athleticism which is a gripe I've had ever since we got JJ.
I guess JJ isn't really the GM anymore so hopefully Ishbia realizes we need more physicality on this team and tries to address it in some way although it is going to be almost impossible to fix this roster.
That'd be amazing if our front office considered this with a more open mind after reflecting on the nature of these playoffs. I honestly think that IF they keep the pick, then it obviously signals that there just isn't any good value that we can get back in a deal because nobody really wants Nurkic or Little. They don't want Nurkic because of his limitations getting severely exposed in the playoffs against size, speed, and athleticism which the entire league is transitioning to. And no one wants Little (at his salary because we didn't develop him or showcase him. And currently, he looks like a 7 million salary fringe bust. Hopefully, we could find a way to better showcase him (Little) and then flip him to some team for a 25' 2nd because that draft is ridiculously loaded!
But you're 1000% spot on as to our critical needs, and my hope is that Budenholzer will put a strong emphasis on this to reform our roster much better.
