Kuzma's CARMELO projection for this season was a .8 WAR and they labeled him as "Scrub". His actual WAR for this season ended up being -0.3

So, you did check to see where the Raptor rating had Bojan before you clicked "post reply" right?ABC News – Breaking News, Latest News and Videos

Do we need another small scoring guard?
His WAR was 2.0 according to Raptor..
He's not small length wise, vertically or horizontally.
Oh yeah, so do I. I'm a fan. I'm just not giving up a very good starter for a replacement level player who you hope improves to becoming 1/2 what Bogey is now.

With all due respect, that is good for 148. Not exactly "top shelf." Even our own cute little Georges had a higher WAR.

I've conceded that Bojan is better, I just don't think the gap is as big as Cy is making it out to be.
I want to buy low on Kuzma. It's good business.

Niang's advanced stats had some funny stuff this year with his on/off splits compared to his box score WAR. I think his on/off WAR was 13th in the NBA this year. I'm not advocating for the 100% use of advanced stats to tell an entire story on a player by any means.

So, you're telling me Clint Capella isn't a better player than Stephen Curry?

Maybe Toronto is now Jonesing to get Matty "Don't Call Me An NBA Player" Thomas back in the fold?
Compare their last 2 seasons and the difference is greater.

I agree.
Bojan is playing with a great supporting cast in a system that moves the ball.
Kuzma is playing with LeBron who doesn't like him.
And I'm a LeBron guy, but if you don't mesh with him, you don't excel. Look how bad Lonzo, Ingram, and others fit with LeBron and look at them now.
I'm telling you guys - buy low on Kuzma.

Bogey's old, injury prone, and plays 0 defense. DL's style of building around classing bigs and unathletic european wings was outdated a decade ago.
Bogey is pretty equivalent to Danilo Gallinari. He has value, and the Jazz aren't just going to give him away.
Ahh, I see you in the Lopo camp of just saying **** to say ****.
Bojan is a ****ing iron man in the NBA. Look at his history.
