trades are hard and now the draft is hard鉁岋笍鉁岋笍
Joe Lacob on if he believes Yaxel changed the outlook of the season:
"I do. Look, we've made our mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes and we didn't get the draft exactly right or maybe we didn't get the development right on a couple other higher draft choices in the past. Fine, but the draft is hard guys. It is hard and not everybody gets it. Some teams never get it right and we got this one right. I was 100% sold that this was the guy we wanted in the draft, we were, not just me and there were some other really good players in this draft. The only question was 'Would he get to #11?' and I was confident actually that he would because the NBA, I've been doing a long time now, the NBA GM's just love their 18 and 19 year old's. We've all been guilty of looking at 'There's great upside to some of these guys,' but this guy seemed like a champion, ready to play. The amazing thing is, everything we thought he could be, he's come in and kind of exceeded that. I think Steve has stated that. He's surprised Steve for sure. He doesn't have any weaknesses is what I would say."
