Yes, I know about Freeland. That was one step towards fixing the problem, but Ballard really needed to make 2 and maybe 3 more. We had 8 draft picks after Freeland, and a lot of IOL were taken from pick 110 on. Pretty sure quite of few of them are better than Fries, and I guarantee a lot of them are better than any of our backups. Call me crazy, but seems like it would have been very prudent to have selected at least 1 if not 2 of them.

As for Witt (7th rounder). Like you said, he's a long term project. Even if he had stayed healthy he probably would have been headed to the PS. At best given a redshirt year and been a healthy scratch all year long.

That’s subjective. Considering Eliyor was a highly ranked guard and he went undrafted, not sure about the overall quality. I would have taken Vorhees late and stashed him till he healed. I’m sure someone will turn out ok, but I like done of those later round picks like Ade Ade and Jaylon Jones.
