Honestly, this. Thatās my fear in how it imbalances the list. It forces us to pick players that, in an open draft, we might overlook.Gonna cook us again this year when we add a mid who hacks the ball and no gun small forwards or outside users![]()
Lombard is the same. In an open draft we would get a small forward or outside mid this year, 100%.
Iām not unhappy taking academy kids. But it does change how we build a list over time.
But if we can offload our first round picks for player upgrades and then take Lombard, itās fine. But the last few years we have been unable to get anyone through the door and address real needs.
