There are not 6'7 players with league average athleticism, a quick shot, not bad on defense, and the potential to be a 40%+ 3pt shooter in every draft.
He's also far ahead of Harris in terms of career trajectory and is a better overall athlete.
I mean if Harris suffered a terrible injury to start his career so it’s pretty tough to compare them.
I think you’re massively underrating unprotected picks 4/5/6/7 years in the future from two of the worst franchises in the last 20+ years.
Problem is because of the pick they owe to the Knicks they can’t trade any first round picks besides their 2028 1st.
Qualifiers are what makes players and what makes Kispert a good prospect. He's got a combination of size, shooting, and athleticism that isnt common.
When you are giving those franchises great players that kind of changes things.
Interesting. Didn't realize that.
He’s gonna be a Joe Harris type on the top end. He isn’t some guy with an amazing upside. He won’t play with the ball in his hand and doesn’t do anything meaningful with his “athleticism”. I’d much rather have Grimes than Kispert and he was taken in the same draft after him.
This is a classic thing for a Talking Head to say, as it completely glosses over the fact that the value of "4 firsts" can range wildly depending on which picks, and which protections. I don't think anyone here would sign up for Barrett + 4 heavily protected firsts. I never get why someone in the room doesn't ask a simple follow up question to the Talking Head in this scenario
I'd take that deal... assuming I can settle with RJ for something less than the full version of a max extension. Say 5/150 instead of 5/188 or whatever it is.
