Scouting in 2019 I really can't give a whole lot of fault there also, we didn't really have a scouting department in place, and the scout that we did have was a holdover from Demps IIRC.
So then you don’t get cute and move down in the draft if you don’t actually have a scouting department in place, you stay out and pick BPA and that was Hunter or Garland. What you say here, which I don’t believe, would be even more of an indictment

As GOP stated above, analytics showed differently from your idea of BPA.
Also, one could argue without a scoring department you attempt to trade up for what you know is a sure thing, which they tried to do to get Ja, or trade down to take more bites at the apple.
Lastly, I don't get the fascination with Hunter, dude has missed more games than Zion.

Garland was not judged as BPA at that time. Shading it that way is revisionist. The debate at that time was Hunter or Culver. If we went PG (which wasn't a need with us having both Ball and Holiday), it was between White and Garland. The overwhelming favorite on the board was White.
My whole point on this is that White, Culver and even Hunter have all been disappointments. Garland has not. It's not a great debate that we should have taken him or that it's a huge mark against Griffin. It's somewhat luck.
Culver was a stud. It was a bit of a flash in the pan. But a lot, myself included, saw it as an ascension. He was supposed to have a high floor and be an awesome defender at SG. We had Ingram, so SF was locked down. The need was a SG, which is why we threw stupid money at Reddick. I have followed Culvers situation and it is a shame. But it happens. Rehashing Garland over and over accomplish anything and it's a disingenuous take.
Hayes is a bust. It sucks. Lots of blame to go around. But the trade wasn't awful. Griffin played the %s and lost..
