It does go back to the discussions around if a short(er) guard can be the #1 guy on a championship team. Seems most people believe he cannot. I think it is possible, but he has to be pretty damn special, and the supporting cast must be above average across the board. But history is not replete with 6'2" guards leading championship teams. There have been a few, most prominently Steph Curry and Isaiah Thomas. But that is a pretty big drought in between. And even they had top-tier talent around them. Curry plays with a perennial DPOY candidate and another elite defensive guard with length who holds the record for the most points ever scored in a 3rd quarter and can carry the load by himself when he must in Thompson. Is this guy on their level? And Steph wasn't even finals MVP even one time until last year, those others for GS were Iguodala and Durant.
So I am sure he will be a great piece to have, but will he be worth a #2 or even #1 pick with franchise player in mind? And if that is the case, what are the odds we luck into the same type of supporting cast, even a level or 2 below, that GS has had with Steph? That is the debate.
