Van Gundy didn't like this pick, because no matter how one looked at it, McGee needed time to develop, and he wasn't the kind of player who was ready to battle right away.
Did the GOAT have time to wait for him?
Not good, he might leave next summer.
Therefore, Van Gundy's choice was Bradley Beal.
"This young man has the potential to be a better scorer than Eric Gordon," Van Gundy said, "In my opinion, he could easily average 20 points per game in the NBA, and moreover, his position and playing style would not clash with those of Brandon Roy."
Another Chris Broussard also chose McGee.
The reason was not much different from Bias: he felt that without Anthony Davis, McGee was the ideal choice for the second pick.
It's said that laypeople enjoy the show, but professionals see the essence.
