The question wasn't if Valentine is as good or better than Hield. The question was is it #6 to #23 prospect difference?

Idk. Shooting the three ball is so important in this day and age. So how much better at shooting the three do you think hield is than Valentine?

Just looking at stats hield shot 46% from three on 8.7 attempts per game.
Valentine shot 44% from three on 7.5 attempts per game.

That's much closer than their draft positioning says so you might have a point.

2 pt % for hield was 55
Valentine was 48

From the line for hield was 88
Valentine was 85.

Hield averaged 25 points and Valentine 19. (Hield played 2 more minutes per game)

Valentine averaged much more rebounds (7.5) and assists (7.8) than hield (5.7 and 2.0)

Interesting. Maybe valentine is better than I thought. On paper looking at box score stats they are pretty damn close.

I don't think Burks is a good fit here. That's why I don't want him. I just think our bench is pretty weak. Neto needs to improve a ton, Lyles needs to improve a ton, we still need another front court player, we need wing depth which we don't have outside of Burks.

Mack is the backup point guard imo. So that should eleviate your concern of neto playing.

Now whether Mack is a good backup point guard or not is another debate entirely.

The point is that the chance of getting a star in that range is extremely low.

I don't necessarily disagree. For me a low chance is better than no chance.

Especially when I believe that the 12 and 3 pick and a free agent wing could replace Hayward nicely anyway even if that 3rd pick isn't a star. Plus no 30 million contract as the cherry on top.

Again, I see it as low risk (losing Hayward is not a big risk since the 3, 12 picks and a free agency could easily replace him imo) and high reward (#3 being a star) even if that high reward is unlikely.

But you probably think that the draft picks and free agency couldn't replace Haywards production and efficiency. That's where we disagree.
And I do respect your position on that. I just don't share it.

On 3PT attempts, If you average over their last two years, Hield is 41.3% Valentine is at 43%
