Was Tracey pretty good on the defensive end, because all I've seen of AJ is really freakin' good (against High school kids of course. . .)

I would be willing to bet that Mcgrady was a good defender against high schoolers.

Tools are defined by length, height, speed, strength, reach, fg%, etc. All measurables attributes. But two players with identical measurables have very different capabilities. So, the difference is much more minute and nuance.

Feel would be unmeasurable but more along the lines of "He's just got 'IT'." I feel like every time I here talk about Flagg that feel is part of the analysis.

Elite players move more intelligently and effectively than the average players. This applies on both offense and defense. They have advanced timing, nuance and the vision to make plays that average players can't make.

Fears has feel. Tre has feel. Knueppel has feel. Derik Queen has feel. CMB has feel. Jase Richardson has feel. Raynaud and Beringer have some feel. Essengue has a bit of feel.

Having elite physical tools or an elite skill level does help bring a player's feel to life though.

Who do we think the Suns are targeting at 10? They need a big man in the worst way. Seems like they could be a Queen team.

Jase Richardson of course.

I think they go big, but Maluach will be off the board and Queen isn’t the type of big they need. Do they go Beringer? Right type of player, but he’s underdeveloped. I wonder if they try to trade back and pick up a vet C who can play right now.
 
The only problem with the "feel" analysis is that grabbing a kid at 19 years old is probably the most inopportune time to judge their "feel."

It is also kinda crap. The draft is littered with kids who had "feel" but couldn't keep up athletically. There is a minimum line of athleticism or physical structure that you must possess to play in the NBA, so it is OK to begin an analysis of a player based upon those measurables.

But, if you insisted on using this as a guidepost, you would need to put Egor Demin up there on your list. Dude knows where everyone is on the court.

Kasparas makes no sense. They already have a very crowded backcourt. They need a big wing like Carter Bryant/Coward or a big like Queen/Malauch/Beringer.

As crowded as their backcourt is, they don't really have a point guard. A guard with some size to can run the team or play off the ball fits well. As for other things, they're very likely going to make more trades.

If they are signaling a desire to keep Green, they are making Booker the PG.
