Just as a reminder, 6ers passed on Tatum to take the Fulzter.

It's not "hindsight". I think Jay agreed with me when the trade was made that is was moronic and would hurt the Sixers. The only way that trade works for the Sixers is if they had taken Tatum to screw Ainge's plans to take him #1 or #3.
From the time of the trade, through that summer and since, we've both said it was a stupid trade. It's not 20/20 hindsight.
Trae Young is putting up good counting numbers, but he is shooting dog shit percentages: .39/.24Hindsight is 20/20. It also sounds like Philly’s front office is a disaster. Colangelo probably should have spent less time anonymously shitting on his team on the Internet and more time trying to figure out what the hell was going on with/managing his personnel.
Also, I’ve watched Doncic and Young play. Doncic was my favorite player in the draft (and I think the Kings and Hawks were monumentally stupid for passing on him), but Young has surprised me this season so far. They’re playing about even (in oversized roles on miserable basketball teams) in my book. Time will tell, but the outrage seems weird.

Curious to see how/if playing with a healthy John Collins impacts Trae's numbers.
He took several horrible shots while playing with JC a couple of nights ago.
I think if you redid the 2017 draft, John Collins would be a top 5 pick (moving up from #19), and he wouldn't even be the highest mover - that would have to go to Kyle Kuzma, who should probably be drafted sooner than Collins. He was the 27th pick.
Trivia / Discussion - who are the 5 best 2nd round pick in the modern NBA draft - since it went to 2 rounds in 1989?
