Honestly, I’m not sure how else to look at it. The argument hasn’t been against Nelson the player, it’s been against the value of the position and it’s relative lack of impact on the team. That’s not just armchair GMing, it’s reflected in both the typical draft position of guards and the average salary for guards in the league. So yes, IMO, since Ballard used his second most valuable commodity to draft a position the league typically devalues, team success is what will ultimately drive the analysis of the pick. At least for me.

You do realize that if Cleveland would have taken Chubb instead of James then Nelson would have went 5th to Denver So while you may disagree GMs think otherwise And if you don’t think protecting Luck and taking that worry away is not a game changer or that we may actually be able to run the ball now is a dumb argument
