Yeah looking forward to watching Holiday, but as far as backup 5, who else they got? Bari will definitely get minutes there, but as far as a legit 5, Jock's all they got.
Anfernee Simons is better than Sharpe and under 25. Sengun and Kevin Porter might have the stench of "losing" to them, but they do more way more than Utah & Golden State's duos.
Numbers over narratives. Scoot and Sharpe are mostly potential. If reporter go by actual production for Blazer players under age 25. Should have been Anfernee Simons (age 24) + one of the other two. If Green wasn't already on our team, I would have seriously make a play at Blazers to get him. League seems to be undervaluing certain players. The Jaden McDaniels (28th pick) is a stretch. He has potential; but that's like most young players; their article title was "franchise" duo. McDaniels could be a nice piece; he's a 3rd year. To put things in perspective, Garland (also on the list) made the All Star team by his 3rd year. There's levels to having a nice player vs franchise duos. Think reporter wants to put Ant Edwards so badly on the list, that he included Jaden.
