I like Brantley... but I can't take the Niang slander. He's a better passer, ball handler, and shooter than Brantley. He is a limited athlete, but he is a good team defender.
Brantley has a great physical profile and has a lot of upside, but he ain't there mentally yet. Let him learn the system in the G League... Green, Royce, Bojan can take the majority of the minutes at the 4. Niang can get spot duty if needed for now. You have to have guys that know the system and won't be in the way. Niang's shooting is off, but he shot 40%+ last year... his defense was fine... at times last night he was guarding George Hill... we had some wonky *** lineups.
I am joining the Church of Brantley but will not turn my back on the House of Georges. After a couple months I think we could integrate Brantley a little more... he has a body type we might need against the Giannis, Siakham types. Would like to see how he does on a power wing that can also shoot like Kawhi.
