Expectations are not nearly as high for Josh Doan than for Tij. I think that's the biggest difference. You're drafting Iggy with a top 10 pick with almost an expectation that he turns into a franchise winger like his dad, in the market where his dad was an icon. No one's putting those kinds of expectations on Josh Doan. That's a lot of pressure.
