Sometimes its just mental- makes no difference how good one gets in practice if you have the yips in real game situations.

We just watched Jaylon Tyson, a dude picked at #20 in Cody's draft, go 39/5/4 against the Sixers in Philly, play like a vet and assist on the winning basket.
Ainge has had SO many chances to find these guys. The only one he seems to have stumbled on is Keyonte.

We also just watched Brice Sensabaugh go 43/5/2 against the Bulls in Chicago.
You chose to remain silent because it didn't fit your narrative.

You can't be serious with that comparison. Tyson has started 23 games this season for a good team trying to win. Advanced stats see him as a positive (and improving) impact player on the Cavs on both sides of the ball. In short, he's already a winning player you can build on.
Sensabaugh is a 3rd year player in acute danger of falling out of the league. He's consistently one of the 20 worst defenders in the NBA and his stats are trending in the wrong direction. He gets minutes because he plays on a tanking team. He can get hot like any "shooter", but he's not a guy you trust.
In no way, shape or form are these dudes the same.
This isn't about Tyson anyway. It's about this FO's total inability to find diamonds in the rough.
There will come a time when the pitiful drafting of the Ainge clan is widely considered a huge reason this "rebuild" has been a failure.

I just got around to watching the DAL-Knicks game.
1) Knicks are in a really bad spot, Towns boo'd out of the arena. Somethings got to change there.
2) Dwight Powell got kicked in the nuts like 4-5 times and hit in the face 2-3 times. All by KAT. It was surreal.
