Strikes me as a guy attracted to highlight reels. Throws step backs on uncontested looks and goes for flashy dunks.

How do the Jazz find the next Kelly Olynyk? It’s clear that they utilize that type of player so much, so how do we find the younger version of that?
The anti-THT sentiment here is very strange.

Well, unless the guy moves up draft boards, Baba Miller is another AD type, massive growth spurt guard turned forward. He is raw as a big, but has elite size with guard skills. Could turn into a steal if he is around when they pick assuming one oif the 3 picks is in his range.

cause he stinky lol
He's rough around the edges, but his defensive talent is tops on our team. He's an exciting playmaker who is only getting better. I see him as kind of a utility type 6th man. A guy who can play a lot of different positions defensively and you put him on a spaced floor he will be a productive playmaker. Extremely rare archetype and will be extremely valuable. His development should be a priority.
Not sure we really need to get another KO. Lauri will transition into playing more minutes at the 5 and we will get more long athletic type wing/wing tweener players to put around Lauri.
And playing like KO is such a veteran thing. It will be hard to draft that kind of player and have them be able to do that unless you are getting some kind of top tier talent high in the draft.
But if you are trying to track someone this year, look at Kyle Filipowski.
Dude the team is terrible when he’s on the floor based off of pretty much every single advanced metric.

That would be fair years ago as your take was the same as most scouting departments takes when he entered the league. So far he has literally not done anything to improve his shot selection or shooting ability. He is who he is. He does have playmaking ability and defensive chops. He is not entirely useless as a scorer if he has spacers. But don't expect him to develop in any area at this point, since he clearly has reached his ceiling. I am taking him off the floor every time he starts his chucking and if that does not get him to tone it down, he has no place here.
Sir he is 21 years old and he's been a good player this year. Dont let these fauxnerds who misuse advanced stats after 10 games try to spin you into a negative-THT view.
By what ****ing metric has he been mediocre let alone good? He’s ****ing trash.

So he is just a very slow learner? will be 22 later this month in his 4th year in the NBA It has nothing to do with stats with me. The ye test alone shows me he is the odd man out on this roster. He can have some minor success, maybe even get another contract in a couple years if he last through this one. I don't however think he impacts winning at all with his positives, given all his negative traits
