I know you don't like Nick and Trip. But I have no idea why. You have a tendency to like or not like media and players and won't change your mind in the face of evidence otherwise. So believe what you want.
But what have they been wrong about with Young, Miller, and Penning? I'm sure you will claim they said Miller and Young would be amazing and that Penning would be terrible but they didn't say that.
Beyond that, being wrong about player evaluations has nothing to do with having inside information about who Payton would have picked.
