You would think in a game like this Assell would have stepped up ala Kawhi without the big 3 against Chicago. Especially when our front office is fooling themselves into thinking he’s part of the long term core. Instead, Castle with his limited jumpshot still has come up for us more than Dev has. He would have been more useful today in the clutch if he didn’t foul out.
Sochan too is like a watered down version of Draymond green and in fact it’s insulting that people even compare him to Draymond.
That’s why I’ll take Fox with supposedly all his “character” issues or all these worries about overpaying to get him or give away picks. But I’ll take the gamble because Wemby needs talent around him and Fox would easily be an upgrade over those two other bums.. Instead of foolishly thinking we have a shot at Flagg or Luka, give a look and see what kind of talent fits around Wemby. If Fox doesn’t work out, there’s other stars that will be interested in coming here. This is not the Duncan era anymore where we had to rely on continuity and building internally. Building internally hasn’t done for us lately aside from getting Wemby and possibly Castle. And this was a franchise that excelled at drafting well but they haven’t struck gold since Dejounte and DJ (again sans not having a top 5 pick).
