Wasn't Joerger the guy who had that particular responsibility for three of the four years in question?
Oops I misspoke. Wroten was drafted in 2012 not 2013(Joerger was still their assistance coach). In 2013 they drafted Jamaal Franklin in the 2nd.
Joerger during his time in Memphis was known as a coach who didn't play young inexperienced guys. Might've contributed to their lack of player development, but I'm not too worried about it here. He knows we're in a rebuild now, and there's no pressure on him to win.
Not going to give Joerger most of the credit, last year felt like our 1st real year of being able to develop talent. Others might've seen it differently, but Skal was not an NBA player coming out of college. Now, he's become a guy who can play at least 5-10mins. Papa was self-explanatory, but he's made major strides since his first SL. Malachi looked at least "not too lost" when he got limited PT. I think we should be good in hands..
to their defense, the majority of tthose have been late draft picks...and the probability of landing a productive player decreases as you get towards the second round
For a Kings fan to criticize any other team for their drafting...... lol. But some teams are just terrible at drafting. Memphis just happens to be one of those teams. Xavier Henry, OJ Mayo, and Hasheem Thabeet.
