    If Toronto and Vancouver started the franchise, would he be taken over BJ Armstrong for the 1st pick?

    yes. So he’s a franchise player.

    i mean his character on the court. I dont know how he is in his life but i like what he is doing as a Basketball Player! If you want create a winner team, you need guys like him. I know that from soccer teams, who got bad boys like him. The young guys will learn a lot of things from him about how to battel on the court.

    mean reversion from last season. I told you guys last season was uncharacteristically bad shooting for him.
    The year when MEM eliminated GSW in the play-in, he was the second best player on the team.

    Not just last season. He had two consecutive bad shooting seasons. To be fair, he was injured in '21-'22. 35% is probably his normal 3pt shooting average. Nobody should expect him to shoot 60% all season long.

    Great role players with his size don't necessarily fetch 20M in the offseason...

    He's just getting started, he will get even better when the team have enough games together and start getting used to eachother and Ime's vision. Sooner or later he is going to have a big offensive night when they mostly need it.

    He plays that Ariza role of taking the toughest defensive assignment and being a reliable 3 point shooter. He has played his role well, although he can get a little wild when he tries to do too much with the ball (also like Ariza.)
