I think his ceiling is a 25+ PPG scorer and I would liken his ceiling to someone like Darius Garland.
Yep. People are obsessing about his size which is a weakness but his shot creating ability is special and we are talking about the 10th pick in the draft. I think his worst case scenario is a good sparkplug off the bench which every team could use. The concern is that he is Brandon Jennings but I think he is a much better shooter and his handle is Kyrie level.
There was some conversation earlier about trading Kessler for #9 straight and someone commented that they wondered if packaging #9 and #10 would be enough to trade up to #1. I’d rather have two shots in this crapshoot than risk paying the MLE+ to one bust.
I mean, he should be able to do drop coverage, and he’s stronger and a better passer than Boban. If he has the potential to break the game on the offensive side of the floor (against small/lanky ball) and his weakness is giving up the midrange on defense, that’s a highly useful net positive.
BTW, this thread of thought is what led to my loud homer post about Shepherd that was mostly centered on how he’s the only one I felt confident enough about to trade up for.
This. He is an absolute sieve on defense. No effort at all.
This is just such a bad post honestly.
Well NBA teams seem to be thinking the same way
We will see what happens. There also aren’t a ton of PG-needy teams in the top-10. Someone is going to fall. It could be him but I don’t see a fall to the mid-teens that sounds ridiculous.
Brother, the rumor isnt the Jazz. The rumor is the Rockets are looking to trade 3. That's just Leif working off the Rockets rumor with a Jazz proposal.
