They pretty much cried about every rookie max deal, except Anthony Edwards. I mean, the advanced stats don't work in his favor, and some of that is on him, but the front office and coaching staff has to take some of the blame, too. The man spend damn near his entire rookie contract playing without a PG, a coaching staff without an offensive coordinator after Tibbet left and the worst shooting situation probably in NBA history.
I like what Weltman did this summer, but he always seem to be a year behind. I think that has played a part in the development of both Paolo and Franz, too.
