Here is a chart from NBA.com with players over 6'7" listed by ast%. I don't think many of these guys are available.

Zach has been a central block the Bulls have built around for 6 years or so. Dejounte has been sent from one bad situation to another because he would have messed with Spurs' odds to get Wemby.

It wasnt really. Cheap owner, bad coach (last year), ball hog lead guard, two non-spacing guys in high minute rotations.
Plus he was relegated to secondary ballhandling duties in an offense designed around one of the most ball dominant guards.
Him leaving made Spurs clearly worse though.

No. He was traded from SA because they saw that despite his stats (which he boosted by being a placeholder "star" in a crummy team... ball domination, bright green light etc.) he wasn't a guy they were going to build around.
Hindsight. People praised the move.
He's still getting his numbers, but the team isn't better because of it.
We can sit here and make a lot of excuses for LaVine as well. Dude was the best player on a legit team before injuries hit.
Just hilarious how we are going to label one a loser and the other as this great piece.

Oh I'm not saying he is a guy you build around. He is still a two way player who is a better overall player than any guard we have on our roster right now.

Murray is a plus defender. Lavine is seen as a poor defender and something of a chucker.

That list will give me nightmares.
More ball-dominant jump shooters who are getting old and have worn out their welcome elsewhere. No thanks.

There is also the fact that Lavine makes 50% more money per year than DJM will with his extension that kicks in next season.
So one is expected to be able to carry your team when the other is expect to be a quality starter.
Is he that good of a defender? He doesnt have great defensive metrics. A lot of his defensive rep is based off what he did very early in his career.
He shoots the ball a lot and doesnt get to the FT line at all.

Purely a ball pounder and jump shooter.

First pure ball pounder and jump shooter Ive ever heard to have averaged 9.2 APG, 8.3 RPG and 2.0 SPG over 68 games.
How would being a ball pounder and jump shooter prevent you from getting stats?
That’s not true at all lmao.
Caruso would be great, but everyone is going to want him. That's the issue right now. The quality guys out there are going to have a lot of suitors.
