Sean also said Wiggins was hands down better than Jabari pre-draft and now he's saying Parker should have been drafted before him.

Typical backtrack.


What???

Jabari was going #2, regardless. Milwaukee wanted him, and only him. It was either Embiid or Wiggins going #1, and the only reason Embiid didn't go #1 is because he broke his foot right before the draft...

I'll take Roco at half the price over Wiggins one third of the price

4/45 extension going forward with a pay raise this year

Absolute steal

Room for Paul George or Lebron to come and play 3rd fiddle to Simmons and Embiid still

Sam Hinkie wrote this of Covington in his resignation letter:

Robert is a mistake I rubbed my own nose in for over a year. The 2013 Draft was a flurry of activity for us—a handful of trades and selections in both the first and second rounds. We had more action following the draft as we tried to finalize our summer league team and get the myriad trade calls set up with the NBA. I could see this coming a few days before and we informed the media that this kind of approach might lead to an unusually late start for the post-draft press conference. Several of you were still there late that night. At about 1:00 a.m. I went downstairs to address an equally exhausted media on deadline from their editors. When I returned upstairs, the undrafted Robert Covington was gone, having agreed to play for another club’s summer league team, eventually making their regular season roster. He torched the D-League that year, haunting me all the while. When he became available 17 months later, we pounced. But I shudder, even now, at that (nearly) missed opportunity.
