re: Anyone else think that Hinkie may run the risk of devaluing his biggest assets?

Noel almost had a triple double (pts, rebs, & blocks) last night along with 4 or 5 steals. I think he has a bright future as defensive stopper, but needs to develop other parts of his game massively.

Yeah, he's a very good defensive player.

I think missing on Wiggins and Parker set back their rebuild plan.

That's the risk you run with this, though. You put all your eggs into the draft and most years, the draft will frick you without even taking you to dinner first. The Thunder got lucky with their draft picks. It became sexy to make your team terrible and to get superstars in the draft, but it's really not realistic.
