No, not with the huge age difference between Green and the mentioned guys

Bey:1.5y older
Bane: 2.5y
Quickley: 1.5y

They didnt draft Green because they thought he would contribute as a rookie.

Really sucks with Bane, pretty sure they take him at 31 but then Grizzlies jumped in and took him

Huge age difference eh? Anyway...

Why the hell would they not be drafting guys who could contribute ASAP when there were a few available? We were coming off a fairly successful playoff outing given the circumstances. It's not a debate that Luka is ready to contend, everyone else may not be, but by all means lets draft a guy who may crack the starting rotation in 3 years or so.

I'm sticking to a MISS until proven otherwise.

It does suck about Bane. It sucks that they thought he would make it to 31.

Even though I agree with the OP, I also think it's completely fair to say picking Green over Bey is a miss until proven otherwise. I don't watch college basketball and don't follow draft prospects at all, but even I had heard a lot of people say that Bey was great value for his position in the draft and would any team would be lucky to have him. I had not heard of Josh Green until the moment the Mavs drafted him.
