With THT out of the league and NAW getting a bag I think we can officially crown NAW as the better player.

Really curious how he does in the Euro league. On one of the better teams. Think if he takes it seriously and show he can play efficiently for 2-3 years he gets another NBA chanceWith THT out of the league and NAW getting a bag I think we can officially crown NAW as the better player.

People love highlights which THT offered more with his time in Utah. It has been a long time pretty clear how NAW is better with all the small intangibles with the game of basketball. THT has untapped potential though, but the natural feel for the game was always better for NAW imo. Well, THT still semi young, interesting indeed to see where he ultimately ends up after the euro contract.With THT out of the league and NAW getting a bag I think we can officially crown NAW as the better player.

I think the biggest difference between NAW and THT is that NAW recognized that he could be a role player and he adjusted his game accordingly. NAW started his career as an inefficient scorer who didn't do much else, but came to Utah and really bought in to being a defender/ball mover.People love highlights which THT offered more with his time in Utah.

But THT is going to be the toast of Turkey soon.

Neither had shown much before this poll started, but NAW definitely developed more than THT - even though most of that development happened for the wolves. I remember being excited to see if either of them took a step up with a bigger role in Utah back during the first tank season - and then we traded NAW away and signed Kris Dunn to push THT further on the bench.I think the biggest difference between NAW and THT is that NAW recognized that he could be a role player and he adjusted his game accordingly.

I think NAW can survive on both ends more easily with the right situation. He's much closer to having a function jumper, and he has shown the ability to create turnovers on defense. The shot creator/PnR operator thing is probably done at this point, however. Put him on a team where he can stand in the corner on offense and blitzes a lot on defense and he can be a useful player.
THT also has defensive playmaking ability, but it's tougher for him to find a role on offense without a jumper.
I will say for my part that it wasn’t an easy choice, but I also didn’t care too much either.With THT out of the league and NAW getting a bag I think we can officially crown NAW as the better player.

I was surprised that they traded him as a throw-in for a bigger deal. Hated that trade for so many reasons.This is mostly true. Most of what I saw from NAW happened during this season when he and THT were trading off games. I really liked NAW during that stretch and thought he looked like a keeper.
