I think part of it is how the Bucks play early in the regular season too. Living in MN, I nearly went to the single Bucks-Timberwolves game last year. I would've except for a conflict. Then Giannis sat the whole game. I would've been miffed to go to the game and not see our star player. Not all of us have OSS $$$ to drop $1k on tickets. ?

No, he isn't ready. Guy needs major work offensively. Maybe he can play some role minutes to shut down a wing given our injuries, but he isn't ready to breack the main rotation. I'd be a little more hopeful on that next year.

I was thinking the same thing, but it seems like the first half of the NBA season is a snoozefest now that we are annual locks for the playoffs. I started liking NBA basketball again after they changed the defense to allow more zone (and avoid the offense of 4 people on one side of the court with a superstar playing 1on1 on the other side...aka JordanBall). But then we suddenly turned it into the "just don't get hurt" season.

What was the best Brewers draft of the last 20 years (Part 4)?
CheezWizHed commented on ClosetBrewerFan's blog entry in ClosetBrewerFan
Another consideration - though a very difficult one to quantify - would be opportunity cost. For the players that "made it to the big leagues", but produced negative WAR, you introduce an "opportunity cost". In other words, we have someone a chance to play in the big leagues that didn't make it. That is an opportunity where we might've been able to find another free agent (yes, budget constraints) that could've produced better (even league average 0 WAR is better than negative) for those seasons. So not only did we incur the negative WAR, we missed the opportunity of trying someone else there too. A double negative on those players and a painful impact of the 2011 draft. -
That is a great point.
-
I'll second that. Getting back two BP arms isn't too surprising. But I figured the two prospects would be a bit higher regarded. Maybe one top 100 level prospect back. I know nothing about Gasser or Ruiz, but a 23yo A-baller can't be very thrilling. I wonder if something was going on with Hader?...

That had to be all centerfield defense driving it. Didn't have much with the bat. Interesting to know that Braun had more career WAR than anyone in his draft. There was so much discussion comparing him with Gordon and Zimmerman. And yes... I was happy Cleveland chose Brantley over Green...at the time. Ouch. -
That maybe a bit too crazy for me... but I have to imagine they like the guy. He is the only one with a semblence of being able to back up either Tonyan or Lewis. Hoping for a good breakout year from either Deguara or Dafney, too.

Man Coverage vs. Zone Coverage; 3-4 vs 4-3 OLB/DEs; Zone run blocking vs. power run There are a few systems that some people will fit better than others, but those differences seem to have faded a bit over time. 4-3 DEs are lighter than before...3-4 OLBs might be a bit heavier now. OL all seem to be more athletic than the big, wide, can't get around you guys of the past. At the end of the day, you can play football or can't. I'm sure some people are up/down rated on certain boards for specific skills they do/don't have, but good coaches fit the player to the scheme.

So, it seems that we drafted Zach Tom to replace Lucas Patrick. As if having two first names were necessary. The last time we drafted a DL and LB in the first round, it worked out pretty well for us. Matthews and Raji were pretty helpful in winning the SB.

I'm no @LouisEly, but I think I did ok Multiple WRs - Pass 4th/5th round OL - Pass Trades up - Pass Draft someone we didn't expect - Pass - I think Walker qualifies. Haven't taken an ILB for a long time. Draft a TE - Fail 75% of draftees with an RAS of >8.0: Fail. Close 6 of 11 overall, but 5 of 6 in the top 4 rounds. Doesn't draft a WI Player: Pass Doesn't take a 1st round WR: Pass Draft 3 WRs: Pass - The PR was the 2nd taken, but close enough Trade down up from 22 and down from 28: Fail Draft someone from Cinncinnati: Fail - Hoping for Pierce and a few others I liked. Draft a player recovering from ACL: Fail - Thought there were enough to be a good chance. Grab a late round RB: Fail I'm surprised with Hill's knee injury they didn't grab someone 7 Passes out of 13 with an extra bonus for picking Samori Toure. I was doing so well initially, but those last 4 came back to bite me.
-
Any K, P, or LS taken in the 7th? Predictions? Maybe a K. Don't see an LS worth it. We signed a FA punters, so doubtful there too. Samori Toure in the 7th.
-
Trying to catch the Bears for numbers of 7th round picks...
-
Mel is back in. Word is that he had a pistachio stuck. Long term prognostic is good.
-
Way to pimp the 1985 Bears SB championship by a 12 year old. His parents weren't even born then. ?
-
Word is that Kiper pulled a vocal chord. ESPN went to a Thursday night concert replay... Hope he is OK...
-
With as many 4th round picks the Ravens have, I'm surprised they don't have any of ours...
-
I work with a guy named Reed Greg and it took me a while to remember which name to call him. ?
-
I know we need back up OL, but they always feel like a let down when they are picked.... Though, that is another prediction hit with a 4th round OL!
-
He returned an 80-yard punt for a touchdown on his first collegiate touch. But looks like he only returned 10-12 punts per year (but high average).
-
and 10" hands...as a WR!
-
NIce. Doubs was a guy I was thinking might fall to us in the 4th.
-
I think this is exactly what you want here. Need OLB depth... need more than just an UDFA "just a guy" we've been getting. Second WR and a athlete OLB would be a good 4th.
-
You forgot to put that in blue. Congrats on being drafted yes, but the 'boys?
-
I'm on the PIckens/Pierce train, but Tolbert is growing on me. He reminds me a lot of Adam's draft profile and skillset. Not to say he steps right in and replaces him, but I think he slips further because he isn't quite as big or quite as fast as others...yet maybe the better football player.
