Definitively differentiating a guy’s p90 vs p95 vs p99 outcome is a fool’s errand I agree. But there is something meaningful to the these kind of...
We want the best player in this draft that's not a non-shooter, right? Freshman or Sophomore college seasons since 2008 with >10 Box Plus Minus,...
Just listened to a podcast interview with the Wizards GM, Will Dawkins. He stressed their opportunity to draft a guy and give him 2-3 years of...
The last point is important. Situational fit definitely matters, and GM’s like Presti prioritize it highly for a reason. Would the player be...
I think a lot of the doubts about Sheppard as a prospect come from misunderstanding the type of prospect he is. He's not a "tools" prospect, where...
To be a competent NBA offensive team you need at least 96 minutes per game of players who have average or better NBA skill on the ball. Right now...
We have 4 "big wing" prospects on this team that we are already committed to. All of them are superior prospects to anyone in this draft and would...
I don't disagree with you. I'm high on Sheppard. Washington is almost definitely taking a primary on-ball guy, a wing swing, or a C because they...
Pretty doubtful Washington would take Sheppard -- they are us in 2021. They want to take high ceiling swings at guys who can be a primary and are...
I think this is spot on. The traditionally "high upside" toolsy guys in this draft are a large part of what makes this draft weak -- they are...
More than anything this team lacks high end offensive skill. We have 1 guy who has it, and he's a center. There are 4 guys in the top of the draft...
The Rockets aren't going to take a player (in a draft bereft of obvious stars) that's duplicative and incompatible with a core 6 player they're...
We don't even know if Sengun + Amen can work... now people want to do Sengun + Clingan + Amen? You can't have a good NBA offense with more than 1...
Getting a top 4 pick would be fun and good for trade purposes, but if the FO actually ends up selecting a player it’s possible they might even...
So misguided. There’s one thing that’s necessary for championship contention: a top 15 player. The Rockets have two paths to that — develop one...
It doesn’t make us better at all, it makes us worse. FVV is better than Reaves, Russell, or Rui. Rui is a bad contract. The broader point is that...
Which would you rather do: Pay $46M/yr to a 27yo established top 20 player in Donovan Mitchell Or pay $50-55M/yr in combined salary to Jalen +...
Yes his value is higher with an extension because he is unextendable on his current contract otherwise, and guaranteed to be an unrestricted free...
Lauri Markannen is 100% getting re-negotiated and extended by the Jazz because: - Lauri wants it. By doing this Markannen gets a $20M “gift” in...
First round draft picks don’t get paid out of exceptions for above the cap teams (which we will be operating as). Or rather, there is a “rookie...
