Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

I’ve watched Agbaji’s entire career at KU.

I think Agbaji will be what he’s always been — steady. He’ll shoot about 40% from three, score about 12-15 points per game, and play decent defense. He’s a decent straight line driver, but he definitely doesn’t have the wiggle or handle of someone like Mitchell to create much for himself at the NBA level.

I don’t think he has star potential, but I think he has “2 guard version of Mykal Bridges” potential.

Those saying he has a “passivity” to his game have him nailed, and I don’t necessarily mean that as a bad thing. He’s always kind of let the game come to him rather than exert himself on the game, if that makes sense.

I am excited to see him in a Jazz uniform this year, but I am setting my expectations at solid bench rotation player to solid starter, not star.

Sounds a bit like a more athletic Joe Ingles

Does this mean you also saw Grimes while he was there? If so, I'm curious how you'd compare the two. (I realize that this is unfair to Grimes, particularly, as he's reportedly really changed his game/approach a lot since he entered Kansas.)

Grimes sucked *** at Kansas. Like was REALLY bad. I did not follow his career after he left, but he obviously made something of himself.

Realistically, no. I was just trying to throw out the closest comp I could think of, mostly to highlight limitations in his game.

I think he’ll pair well with Sexton. We really need to move off some guards so these guys see the floor.

I like Conley and Clarkson, but they are really in the way of development of younger guys right now and need to be moved. I am super close to giving up on Butler. I think we need to give Sexton, THT, NAW, and Agbaji as much run as possible.

Butler is really the only backup PG we have if we move Conley.

PG - Sexton | Butler
SG - Agbaji | THT | NAW
SF - Simone | Bolmaro
PF - Lauri | Johnson
C - Vanderbilt | Kessler | Udoka

Great... in 3 years he will be bitching about Walker Kessler causing a pandemic and we will have to blow the team up in 5 years.
