Stauskas goes #8 to the Kings.
McGary at #21 to the Thunder.
 
Glad to see it worked out well for those guys. Probably have to wait for the second round for GR3.

GR3 went 40th overall. While I don't think he made the right decision leaving, I hope he does well in the  NBA.. Beilein (& Co) has done a great job with development.. Producing NBA players is really great for the program.

I am pretty randomly optimistic about Robinson's NBA future even though he has none of the statistical indicators I normally look for. I feel like he's an NBA 3, and kept getting put inside, which prevented him from developing.

There's no doubt that Robinson was played out of position, but at the same time, he wasn't the type A personality that demanded the ball and used the skills that he had. GR3 was easily the most physically gifted player of the last two teams and could've poised match up problems if he wanted to be more of The Guy. I expected him to do that this year. He was option 3. Even after McGary was hurt.
 
Who knows how much playing out of position hurt his development....I expected more and I hope he can give more at the NBA level.

I don't think he necessarily needs the ball. I am simply hopeful that he can turn into a defense/threes guy on the perimeter.
