Hope we can find a sucker for Hendricks like we did for Lyles on the Donovan trade

I watched that game. This wasn't Black's only great defending. He's got size to do it, too.

If Taylor plays some mid basketball during our end of season tank and the FO declares him untouchable and a starter next year... you will know they are looking for someone to bite.
That might be more points than Hendricks scores all year
Just saw this when looking up his stats and thought it was pretty crazy:
Derek Lively is averaging exactly 1 block per game. This is because he has had exactly 1 block in every game he has played in so far

Ha ha, just after I posted this he gets his second block for the game.
We were talking about a redraft in another thread and so I thought it would be fun to do one now that the season has started. So here is my way too early and reactionary 2023 Top 20 redraft:
Already studs
1. Wemby
2. Ausar
Showing flashes, but still rookies
3. Miller
4. Scoot
5. Amen
6. Bilal
Rotation level already
7. George
8. Wallace
9. Lively
10. Black
11. Dick
12. Hawkins
Older Players that should have gone sooner
13. Jaime
14. Strawther
15. Sasser
Still tons of potential, we just haven't seen it yet
16. Cam Whitmore
17. Jerace Walker
18. Taylor Hendricks
19. Kobe Bufkin
20. Jett Howard

Does rotation level already simply mean a dude gets a few minutes here and there or does it mean they are playing well enough to be in a rotation? Cause imo gradey isnt rotation level already. He should be in a category that says something like “players whoget some minutes they dont deserve at all and who are playing like total ****”
Gradey this season: 27% from the field and 21% from three. That is insanely horrible. Especially for a dude whose main skill is shooting.

I'm definitely open to criticism, so I could be wrong about a lot of stuff here.
When I've watched Dick he has looked pretty good. His defense has been not as horrible as I thought it would be and he has moved the ball and looked like he knows where to be on the court. I'll admit I've watched less of him than most of the other rookies. I also try not to overact to shooting numbers this early in the season, I fully expect Dick to be a great shooter. Also Toronto has about the same record I would expect them to have, despite continuing to play Dick minutes.
I'm not sure I agree about Scoot being 4th in this way too early redraft. Probably should penalize him a bit more for being hot trash even compared only to other rookies.
- Leads all rookies in turnovers and personal fouls per game
- Leads the entire NBA in TO% with 25.0%
- has the worst BPM from all rookies who have recorded minutes as well as the worst on/off numbers (on/off is among the bottom of the entire league)
- has been horrible in live action shooting (FG% 36.5, 3P% 9.5) despite his FT fallling just fine
