In fairness, they didn't say they were a package deal in the Tyus Jones/Jahlil Okafor or Greg Oden/Mike Conley mold, but rather in the Harry Giles/Tatum mold (they only referenced Tyus/Okafor, not Giles/Tatum).
True package deals are tricky; kids think they are amazing until you realize that you have very little flexibility.
I still think we get Trent and Carter; but that's because of Duke, Coach K, and Capel moreso than a "packaged deal"
