Very few of these teams actually develop the way they hope. A majority of them will remain lottery teams. Its great to have young talent, a lot of promise and potential is exciting. But having established talent is what wins in the NBA. So many teams are attempting to build like the Magic, Sixers, etc and very few will actually pan out before scrapping the team and trying again.
Yeah it hasnt worked for the Knicks in 15 years. I think size speed athletiscm of those two guys is scar--youre talking 6-3 225 and 6-4 220 as dual PG's. Both players were the best defensive guards in their last year in CBB.
