2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The amount of serious mental gymnastics you have to go through to be like "Oh this player severely underperformed because he had to play with the greatest playmaker in the history of the NBA" then call me out for not knowing what I'm talking about is insanity.

Is Donovan going to be happy just because you trade for his buds who are mediocre basketball players while you are giving away top shelf talent on a discount?

Bojan's career
14.6 ppg
.546 EFG%
3.5 rpg
39% 3pt
1.5 apg

Kuzma's career
15.2 ppg
.52 EFG%
5.2 rpg
34% 3pt
1.9apg

I love how you are trying to make it out that Kuzma is some scrub and Bojan is an All Star. They aren't that far apart. Kuzma has a comparable career and he hasn't even hit his prime.

You will really do anything to craft a narrative.

Yes, assuming Kuzma has the exact same career trajectory and improvement curve (highly unlikely) that Bojan does, Kuzma might one day be a starter level basketball player.

So Kuzma isn't even a starter level player now? Who is crafting a narrative?

By what metric is he a starter level player?

Kuzma's CARMELO projection for this season was a .8 WAR and they labeled him as "Scrub". His actual WAR for this season ended up being -0.3

I'm in the wrong thread apparently.

Good day

So, you did check to see where the Raptor rating had Bojan before you clicked "post reply" right?

Do we need another small scoring guard?

 

[JayExotic]

Kuzma hasn't been great the last 2 years, particularly in the playoffs this year. But I think he'd benefit from a change of scenery and he's only like 25.

His WAR was 2.0 according to Raptor..
