Not an option but if you’re going that route why not Ochai?

I think McLemore was better than Ochai.

swapping out a freshmen furphy for a senior ochai is silly. and shouldn't be allowed. not fair to freshman furphy.

now. if you want to swap out a freshman furphy for freshman ochai. go for it.

Lolz to a million.

Maybe not a million.
Still lolz.
NPOY candidate 1st team AA on a title winner.

Both great players.

Ochai had a better career.

For 1 singular season I am taking McLemore. He was a better athlete and had a higher ceiling as a scorer, especially catch and shoot. I know the stats Ochai's senior year are better than McLemore's stats. But I am taking McLemore.

There is a reason one was drafted #7 and one was drafted #30.

Dok for Hunter.

I really think that makes the defensive issues disappear. You still have the interior scoring. You don't have a hole every team learns to exploit.

Sure, shooting is still a problem. But you can't win if you have a defensive issue that can be exploited over and over and over.

That's emotions talking there.
Actually would probably go Marcus for KJ.

Can still switch 1-4.
Better rebounder. Way better shooter.

Oh, yeah. Whoops

to be clear, i’m not sure i necessarily disagree with the swap

but, let’s not forget that Dok’s free-throwing was absolutely exploitable…to the point Self wasn’t willing to have him on the court at the end of some games

“I know the stats Ochai's senior year are better than McLemore's stats.”

Ok so eye test for you.
Got it.

Frank wasn’t drafted as high as Oubre.
Oubre musta been a better player in college.

Also of note, Ochai went lotto, not 30th.

Yes sorry 14th pick. Not sure what I was thinking.

Frank and Oubre aren't comparable.

McLemore and Ochai are comparable. McLemore was an AA too.

Yeah, I was wondering which one was drafted 30th.
My guess is our stat guy from Illinois not named Gutter went to Wikipedia to check when Och was drafted and saw this (see below) which is humorous because his current team is NOT Utah (it even says lower down it is Toronto) and if deleteduser looked further down he would notice it says "NBA draft: 2022 (Round: 1 / Pick: 14)"
