Tatum is better than Middleton, but it's close.
Barrett isnt close to Hayward, at all.

Does playing on the Knicks make him one of the worst shooters in the league? Barrett is not a good scorer yet, no matter how you hype him up
This the same dude that got on me for daring to compare peak CP3 (which he isn't close to now) to Stockton? Lol, keep doing you.
Also, I agree with a lot of what you say outside of this. When it comes to this though you suck.
Probably becuse you always draft like someone who plays NBA 2K and just pick a bunch of young dudes who havent proven anything (like nearly always for your bench and sometimes for your starters) and you try to convince us development is a linear path that is a guarantee.

Scoring is one piece of the puzzle. Hayward is a better defender, playmaker, more efficient. Its not like Gordon is 36, so he shouldn't see a drop off unless he gets hurt again. RJ might score more ppg but it will be in a far uglier fashion.
This was my team last year that got waxed in the 2nd round:
PG - Ben Simmons / Ja Morant
SG - Donovan Mitchell / Evan Fournier
SF - Jayson Tatum / RJ Barrett
PF - Kyle Kuzma / James Johnson
C - Clint Capela / DeAndre Ayton
That lineup includes picks 13, 14, 25, 39, and 64 picks from this current draft. That’s 4 players in the top-39. That team would win this years competition handedly if I picked a different PF.
I must not be that bad at projecting for the future.
Flat out Lillard is the best player on either team. It's not even close.
Some of WC's best players are in a harsh decline and constantly injured (BG) or are very old and it's fair to expect some decrease in effectiveness (Paul). Then the bench is a bunch of dudes I would never draft for this thing, like Fultz/Hunter/Barrett who have not proven in any way they contribute positively to winning. Graham is a solid bench scorer, but he's also up there for worst defensive player in the NBA. Jonas is solid as a backup C as well, but Theis is way better.
Em packed his team with positionally versatile defensive studs (Theis, Thybulle, Smart, Isaac, and Clarke) and really smart team defenders like Rubio/Hayward/Adams/Middleton) to complement a huge volume scorer like Lillard.
I havent been a huge Lillard guy in the past, but he's having a Steph Curry adjacent season right now.
Dude you’re a full blown idiot. Straight up.
"Then the bench is a bunch of dudes I would never draft for this thing, like Fultz/Hunter/Barrett who have not proven in any way they contribute positively to winning."
Proceeds to applaud Eminence for drafting Thybulle, Issac, and Clarke.
It’s also fair to expect a decrease in effectiveness due to age but not a potential increase due to age.
It’s comical. You really can’t make this **** up.
