I think injuries have curtailed his development for sure. I was lukewarm on the Romeo pick and like it a lot more today after seeing his growth at the end of this season into a key piece without yet having a normal summer or preseason camp.Are you more optimistic now on Romeo than the day he was drafted?
Those physical skills existed then and he hadn't yet shown he would be horrible on offense for the next 2 years. Generally we agree that "everything matters", that's why I think it's reasonable to dock Romeo a bit since then.
I suppose people think his physical tools are much better than advertised, and that positive outweighs the terrible performance negative to date?
I like the future prime Trevor Ariza comp of a starter/key rotation guy on winning teams. He’s def not a “numbers guy” so team fit will be key for him much like it was with Ariza. That’s a good score with a 14th pick.
