Like I said, I don't have anything for you. I'm not able to explain to you how the context is different for a starting PG on a 54 win team and a player on a 17 win tanking team. I can't teach you to broaden your scope beyond PPG and APG. You'll have to figure out how players can have beyond that on your own. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I initially assumed we were close enough to have a conversation, we're not.

To me WCJ is the ultimate swing for the fence type of pick. More so than Bailey. If he translates, he will lead your offense with 20pt a game and become a perennial all-star candidate. If he doesn't translate, he is basically another Jimmer/Burke and will be out of the league in 3 years. Don't think there's any space in between given his size, defense and questionable playmaking. It also comes down to making his shots against NBA defense.
Lmao jesus christ.
Payton Pritchard exist. There is a middle ground between him being an all-star or out of the league.
One of the things that gives me hope on WCJ is that he weighs 200 lbs at his size. That's solid girth. That's usually a common link between the small guards who translate.

I agree. With small guards, it's not all about length, girth matters as well.

Pritchard is definitely on the higher outcome. I do believe he will score close to 20ppg and be considered for all-star given where Boston is headed this upcoming season. Bar for “all-star candidate” isnt that high. I'm not saying Steph or bust. But someone like Jamal Murray(who never made all-star btw)/Pritchard would be ideal.
Where is Boston heading?

A retool. As things stand Pritchard is already their second/third option to start the season.
So you think he's going to score 20 and be an all-star?

"Candidate". Plenty of all-star candidates never made it to all-star or only made it once. Lauri, for example. Haywood would be another.
