It made me feel worse, not on direction, because I feel that was made clear in the scrappy play direction, etc. It was more on the lack of clear cut examples of where he was able to execute GM level actions.
I did find more clarity on his timeline with the Suns being two years, because most were saying mere months. It also was illuminating that he had a role similar to quality control in the NFL, where a guy reports on every department, etc., and how they can be better, etc. Now what things did he uncover, and did the Suns make any positive changes out of it is unclear. Sounded mostly like he made reports to Ishbia on what he saw, heard, etc.
The one thing I agree with Dave Burns on, is being a former coach, you would expect him to be able to evaluate coaches, especially college coaches, which is the rumor we are looking to hire, or assistants rising through the ranks.
I also think handling players, staff, players families, etc., he should be decent at that you would expect from being a college coach. Also free agents. If you can't recruit in college, you don't last. He has to have SOME skills in that.
I am in the wait and see camp. If we do draft guys in this draft, and we handle possible KD and Beal trades/exits well, that's what we can grade him on. Right now, I don't think I can give him credit for Oso and Dunn. He's starting fresh in my book.
That's the real question.
