They are quite a bit different. McDaniels does very little with the ball in his hands while Franz does a lot with the ball in his hands. Right now I think the best comp for Risacher is Danny Granger.

Is that because of team context or because of ability? Im sure it's a mix of both.

Both are defensive minded big wings with inconsistent shooting ability, I think that describes Risacher pretty well.
 
I think the Jazz Bronny interest thing is much more about making the Lakers unprotect that pick and hold them hostage. Or they will use the two picks to jump up to 17 with the Lakers. Bronny and others throwing cold water on playing in LA with his dad are simply trying to position him.

Well at least that's what I think. I could see teams having interest in the kid and part of me feels for him as he will be judged incredibly unfairly. Seems like a decent kid.

Based on Bronny's length, athletecism, and the film I've seen, he has a good chance of being a good perimeter defender in the league. If he can develop his 3pt shot and offensive game a little more, he could be a 3&D guard in the league. Guys who can defend the perimeter and can hit 3's have become very valuable in the NBA.

But how is his flopping game compared to his dad?
 
I don't think discussions to unprotect the pick happen happen nearly as much as fans like to talk about it. It's fun to talk about I guess.

DA is a lot of things... one thing he has done multiple times is leverage draft intel to move around the draft. Did it with Tatum and with Thybulle... Put the interest out there. Lakers need to conserve assets so trading the rest of the 2027 pick with some seconds could land them Bronny and they can keep the rest of their draft capital for another move.

Let me put it another way, from the Lakers side it does not matter who they trade 1-4 2027 to. When trading that outcome, it’s irrelevant that the Jazz own the rest of the outcomes of that draft. We talk about unprotecting that pick around here, but in reality it should be talked about the same as every other team acquiring 1-4 outcome.

Maybe other fanbases are talking about acquiring the 1-4 outcome…but I’ve seen a million different ways that’s been discussed around here. The reason why we talk about it so much is because we own the other outcomes, but that’s not actually a reason to believe a trade is more likely.

That just isn’t true. Why would another team specifically be interested in the 1-4 part more than we would?

I suppose you could do that kind of weird stuff with the pick. I imagine the Lakers would keep it a top 1 protected pick for the Jazz and do the Bronny deal with us.

Why does the Jazz owning the rest of the outcomes mean they want 1-4 more? It’s the same no matter who it goes to.

I never said a team would value it more than the Jazz, I said it doesn’t matter.
