    Too many options. Cut the list to two:

    -Alperen Sengun
    -Tari Eason.

    Less is more.

    KPJ and JaeSean Tate Contracts looks like they next ones to be traded. It is increasingly more likely.

    KPJ minutes will be cut and given to Cam Whitmore hopefully if KPJ steps out of line and disrespects the Coaches or Players.

    you’re wasting your time. @fchowd0311 uses numbers selectively and in bad faith. His point is not gain insight, but to somehow show tha Green is better than Kobe and MJ. With so much data around, it’s easy to pluck whatever you need, there is no rigor or backtesting or anything resembling honest discourse with this douche

    So I am reading all kinds of opinions on this forum on what makes a Franchise Player in today’s NBA.
    Efficiency?
    Creating off the dribble?
    3pt shooting?

    But then I look at last 5 years MVPs, and what do I see? EVERY freakin year the MVP went to a foreign-born Big Man.
    Then I look at the poll and see only one who fits that.

    I think Jalen Green can become a more athletic Booker. That's what I've always stated. You are incapable of debating in good faith and have outdated views on society and sound like a boomer who calls any person who doesn't fit your traditional values a "Nancy" even though that Nancy can twist you into a pretzel.

    The big men that have won MVPs are either 7+ ft behemoths with ridiculous wingspans who take up so much space it's impossible to remove them from their spots with elite vision and elite post touch and one of the most athletic and skilled 7fters ever who also is an elite defender.

    I'm not even claiming Green will win a MVP in his career. If we have two to three players that are just first to second team level that's enough to be a contender.

    Oh it's going to be interesting. Amen has less room to grow more than Jalen as he comes in a year older into the league than Jalen. I would assume Jalen is still an inch shorter than Amen. Amen got him in wing span by a bit though.

    By a bit? Draft combine has Amen at 6'5/6'6 with 7'0 wingspan
    I believe jalen has a 6'7 wingspan.

    A lot of high end talent with new high end defensive vets...

    I'm just imaging how competitive training camp is going to be this year compared to years prior. This is awesome for development. Players are going to have to work their asses off the prove their worth.
