makes him a defensive guard which means he'd never be more than an MLE level role playing starter. 


And what is Holiday, exactly? With Evans on board, are 2 top 10 picks worth it for a better version of that defensive player?

Me neither. I do think it's deeper and more flexible with more potential avenues for improvement though.

Like you say, they will get as far as Davis takes them. Not so sure what they've done with the roster, other than Asik and Anderson, and on the court hasn't gotten in his way.

I like holidays game a lot more than MCW. The guy just can't hit a jump shot.

Holiday is only a year or so older.

An efficient 2 way player.

I think that 2013 pick had little value. In hindsight, if you keep the pick the move to make is probably trade back from 6 and draft Steven Adams or Gorgui Dieng.

Giving the 2014 draft class benefit of the doubt, I think the better question is what else could you have gotten for Noel besides Holiday? From what I can remember of our mindset back then, everyone but Jester was desperate to move on from Vasquez too. I don't like Jennings and ATL matched on Teague. If you could somehow turn Noel into a S&T of Teague and Korver would I pass up Holiday? Yes. But a deal like that wouldn't happen for many reasons.

I guess I just dislike the 2013 draft enough that it's hard for me to value that pick as a mythical magical lottery pick and I need better trade options before I turn down Holiday.
