Yeah, I agree, KOC should have dealt Price, the #9 and a sign-and-trade of Othyus Jeffers to move into the top-5. I mean, what team wouldn't have wanted what we had to offer?
Seriously, to those who have decided Hayward is already a bust, do you care to put up the NBA numbers to date for the guys who were drafted 10-16. - i.e. the players we were left to choose from? OK, I will. In fact, let's go #6-16 since we MAYBE had an outside shot of jumping up 3 spots. That is, had KOC offered one of the two #1's we used to get Jefferson.
#6 - Udoh: Hurt, hasn't played.
#7 - Monroe: 17 mins/per. 3.9 pts, 5 rbds on 33%. Rebounding is pretty good, but 33% for a big. That's terrible.
#8 - Aminu: 14 mins/per. 5.5 pts, 3 rbds on 46%. Not bad. But he wasn't available at #9 so it's a "mute" point.
#9 - Honzward: 11 mins/per, 3 pts, 2 rbds on 37%.
#10 - George: 18 mins/per, 6 pts, 3 rbds on 38%. Not much better than Hayward.
#11 - Aldrich: 10 mins/per, 1 pt, 2 rbds, 0.2 blocks. Not exactly the great defender, inside presence/shot-blocker some thought he'd be.
#12 - Henry: 14 mins/per, 7 pts, 2 rbds on 40%. Better than Gordon, but not a whole lot.
#13 - Davis: Injured, has not played.
#14 - Patterson: Has not played. Is being sent to the D-League
#15 - Sanders: 6 mins/per, 2.0 pts, 1.0 rbds on 42% shooting. That's not a very good % for an interior player.
#16 - Babbitt: 5 mins/per, 1.0 pts, 1.0 rbds on 25% shooting.
