I guess the good news is that Jaxson is about to be tested at the highest level. It is also crazy that Khalfa was just sitting around as a spare bigman before the last 3 games. He's been amazing. Just needs to get into better shape (just like Jokic did.)
Interesting. Can’t disagree much. I have varying degrees of “like” for the first 11.
playing 6 fewer minutes than last year and doubling his scoring average. 29 ppg per 40 and 41 ppg per 100. 8.5 ppg in 28 mpg last year; 17 ppg in 22 mpg this year.
If he is still shooting close to where he is and his stocks hold up I think he is a consensus top 8-10 guy. The shooting has to calm down I think unless he's like an all time great as a shooter.
Prediction... the #1 pick gets traded this year. Partly because its so fluid up top and partly because a team will be fine getting a mediocre asset to move down a few spots and not have to commit the additional salary cap dollars for the bet.
Similarly... if the front office loves someone I think they should be able to move up for a reasonable price.
Nah, just take Topic
If they loved him I’d be on board with that too. I just think if it still looks fairly flat in the top 4/5 that teams will be willing to trade back and some might prefer to have the decision made for them and get a tradeable asset and save a little money.
Nah, it's a good league. A very big league too.
impressive in favor of Topic or impressive in the sense that taken in context, it's really not that special?
