Among all the critiques of Denver landing Tyler Lydon with the No. 24 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft that there were broadcast on Thursday night few matched the fervor of former Indiana coach Tom Crean, whose reaction after Lydon was picked was to flatly say, "I don't think he's that good."
Crean was part of an NBA Draft livestream broadcast by The Vertical, an online medium led by esteemed NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski.
The draft livestream, in its second year, has become popular among basketball fans because it frequently announces picks and trades ahead of the television broadcast and generally provides a deeper level of analysis.
