He won’t be Steph.

Steph is at a point where you can't ever predict any young player will be Steph. He's too good. I see Young more as a Nash type anyway. His greatest strength is his facilitating, passing, vision. The shooting/scoring is secondary.

It was hyperbolic. There’s a “bit” going on here.

How atrocious is Young on defense?

Bad, but I'm not convinced he's as bad as what he showed at OU. He actually stays in front pretty well and his bball iq shows on defense as well- pretty good at playing the passing lanes. He couldn't afford to pick up fouls so always had to be cautious on that end and had to save his energy for his load on offense. His teammates were actually somewhat useful on defense.

About what part? I'm not claiming Utah can get a star for #21. I think the starters are set with Rubio, Mitchell, Gobert, Ingles and Favs or Crowder. So the need is to find scoring off the bench. Are their vets that may be available for the #21 and other minor assets? Perhaps for teams wanting to rebuild or cut costs?

Mirotic has been tossed around as a possibility if NO decides to re-sign Cousins. I don't think that's a trade that NO has to make, though. There are other ways for them to trim payroll if needed.

Is a trade likely? Probably not. I think better options might be available at the deadline next Feb, with the expiring contracts of Burks and others, and if Utah has some better young prospects like this year's pick and hopefully a developing Bradley. I just brought up the possibility that anything is possible, especially on a team that, IMO, could use a more established, reliable scorer off the bench.

Dennis Lindsey is a draft god. Dont take picks away from him.

Multiple MVP comps.

K, I’m changing my opinion. Dude goes 1st. How can he not?

Because it's just a comp.

All I'm saying if you are thinking of him as a pure scorer like a Curry or Jimmer, I think you are thinking about him wrong. He is more of a true PG who has been influenced by Curry. His team in Oklahoma was just so terrible he had to take all the offensive burden for them to have any chance.
