I agree with a lot of what's been said about Cason, and I've watched him a lot. I think his floor right now is Alex Caruso, because basically he's pretty close to that level of player right now. That's an MLE level player that everyone would love to have on their team.

I still think his ceiling could be Jrue Holliday. If you look at Jrue Holiday's rookie stats, they are somewhat similar, but Jrue played with the ball in his hands more. Cason needs some more opportunities to play point guard though, as he's pretty far behind the curve. He was a forward/center in high school and started his career at Kentucky as a SG/Wing. He's really only had a half season at Kentucky playing point.

In some ways OKC is the perfect fit for him and in other ways it may stifle his development.
 
The last point I'll make on Cason, is that when a guy is shooting an efg% of 75.4 and has a low turnover rate over 12 games, a pretty decent sample size, you should probably ask them to start doing more until you see their efficiency drop unacceptably. I don't expect Cason to keep shooting nearly this well since that would be unprecedented, but if I were OKC I would want to see what type of usage % he can handle while maintaining a reasonable efg%.. Maybe/hopefully they are bringing him along that way.

What Green did is no joke (in my opinion and deserved way longer). I feel like most of us wouldn't let another person put their arms around our neck without a fight.

Agreed. What got me and makes me think it was a slap on the wrist is the dragging. So he stops Rudy from grabbing his team mate. But then to drag him a good 10 feet from the altercation while holding his neck seemed almost psychotic. And then to only get 5 games for that. WOW!
 
Spurs-Kings game just started on ESPN. Excited to watch a full game from Wembanyama. He only had 8 pts last game so look out.

I love watching Victor, but I wonder what happens if it turns out that this is who he is as a shooter. 43.2 FG%, 28.3 3P%. Those numbers are very well in line with his pre-NBA career. Not great. He protects the rim, rebounds and passes the ball well, but you just can't overestimate the value of shooting these days.

Rookies often never improve

He was a career 29% 3pt shooter before he came to the NBA. Now he's hitting 28%.

Yeah, he may improve. Anything is possible I guess. But career sub 30 shooters don't suddenly turn into perimeter threats.

As I said, I love watching Vic play, but he's currently in the process of being figured out by the league. It happens to everyone. If he keeps up the bricklaying, the first thing every team will do is start ignoring him on the perimeter, which will take away his drives.

It'll be interesting to see how Pop responds.
