Appreciate you playing devils advocate. Right now is literally the worst timing, and Brown is one of the worst guys to go for. We can do this type of trade as soon as next season and for pretty much any other star who is not Jaylen Brown. He's a borderline all star (in the east) on a supermax...
Stevens is trying to pull off a masterpiece. Trade Brown for ridiculous value, gap year 26/27, bet on some SAS/DAL trust fund luck, then go into summer 27 with Tatum, young talent from Brown, future assets from Brown, and cap space.
We’re going to be on the wrong end of the SGA-PG trade. But we’re not going to end up with two top 5/10 players, we’ll have two top 40/30 players.
Let’s be honest, it’s not just going to be the 5th pick and some bad firsts. If it happens, Stevens will take us to the woodshed. From the outside...
I kind of disagree with this. I think his numbers are plenty impressive in their own way, though he's not an analytics darling by any means. I've been informed about Tre's PPG a million times this year, so in that sense Fears is just as valid. Same scoring rate/efficiency against the same SOS.
I think that’s fine….I’m choosing to see his IQ as a strength even though the TOV numbers potentially suggesting otherwise. I actually love what I see on film though. He’s extremely crafty for his age and also very physical. It does look like he’s barely holding on a lot, but I like that he’s...
I get it if you think it may not translate as well, but I think Kas deserves some credit for being an elite finisher around the basket. And he’s also extremely efficient in the half court despite being mostly self created. There doesn’t really exist a freshman with his levels of self creation...
I’m hoping for a trade up to #3 for Edgecombe or a trade down to #6/7 for Tre/Kon. Trades could effect the order, but here’s generally how I see the priority for teams:
PHI - VJ
CHO - Trade for VJ, or take Kon/Tre
WAS - Ace/Fears
NOP - Ace/Fears
So in theory, whoever CHO doesn’t take at 4 will...
I may also be overvaluing/overrating his BBIQ and motor. On paper, the big question would be the turnovers and that’s typically a reflection of poor BBIQ. But I truly think he’s a smart player that also has a very high motor. So that’s a weakness on paper that I see as a strength in reality...
That’s fair. In both cases the handle is a limiting factor, but I also like both prospects because of their ability to scale down if they can’t be a true offensive hub. Could be a personal blindspot of mine. But for now, I believe in both players. I think the handle can get better over time.
