It doesn't have the rigidity.
It should be pretty flexible that you should just take the best player available and start building around that person regardless of position.
Yeah, similar to my answer with Tiago, where I think there's a lot to be excited about.
There's a lot of the background is there, you know, the initial press conferences and things that you've seen from him so far, I think are all positive.
It's just, you know, I think it's worth remembering that this is essentially the exact same spot the Bulls are in six years ago.
You know, down to the T of you hired an executive with, you know, a really respected background.
You've got a head coach that people were excited about, Billy Donovan.
And now you have the number four pick.
And it is sort of the parallels are super, super eerie almost in how exactly they mirror each other.
He's got to start doing the moves and nailing that first pick.
The number four pick will be a good test of that and obviously what they do in the rest of the draft.
Right now, I think a lot for people to be excited, to be optimistic about, especially considering the last few years, but
There's still a lot of runway to go and still a lot of, you know, we'll have just a much better answer to that in a couple of weeks when we actually see him start to make moves.
But, you know, these guys that are unproven and, you know, had a lot of people tell me, like, until you get to that number one job, like, it just is a whole different thing.
A whole different animal, whole different decision making, whole different process where everything stops with you.
And we kind of have to see him do it, though the process he had on this coach, for example, was sort of an encouraging, just encouraging way that he went about it.
I think that's something that people are excited about.
Yeah, and especially because you have a draft that has so many interesting prospects, high-level prospects, people that project for all-star teams and such.
Not that, again, those top four or five picks or so, or top four, I should say, of the draft.
I don't think any of those teams are trading out of that position.
