Myles Turner would be a good fit but he's too expensive for what he offers, you really just need Hayes to develop a 3 and improve his defense. I don’t think you just assume he’s going to develop a 3 since he hasn’t even flashed much of a jumper. I’d go get someone that can and if he does develop range down the line great. Dude is still extremely young and raw, no need to depend on him heavily Edited March 5, 2021 by amac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needs to work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amac Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Nickeil's numbers in his handful of starts have been ridiculous. again I'll be surprised if he's not a solid-really good starting caliber player in a year or 2. Didn't expect Zion to grow this much this quick, holy hell, basically a top 10 player in the league already. Good to see Hayes getting more confident too.

Once Bledsoe gets shipped out in the off season I expect him to be a full-time starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amac Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Stoked about our core with the way some of these guys have developed over the season. (Lonzo, Kira, NAW, Ingram, Zion, Hayes). I think if we can add a good 3&D wing defender and a couple of spot up shooters next season we'd be set next. Maybe try and get a stretch 5, and swap Bledsoe for a better stop gap PG if Kira isn't ready to start next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG5 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Moses Moody in the draft would be fantastic. Already projects to be a good 3&D wing at the next level. Add another good 3&D wing to replace Bledsoe and we should be good, but if we decide to move on from Steven Adams already then I would like us to make a run at Myles Turner. He can knock down the 3 (only a 34% shooter, so not great) and he plays great interior defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm less concerned with if our center can shoot and more concerned with him being a good defender. Hayes has shown flashes of being good at both, but I think a defensive anchor at the 5 spot would do wonders for this team. Him being able to shoot is just a bonus.

amac Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 G- Graham, Sato?, Kira G- NAW, Temple?, Didi, Herb F- Ingram, Naji F- Zion, Murphy C- Jonas, Hayes we could still use another knockdown shooter in the back court, and if we can get a starter to make Graham a 6th man that’d be nice. And another body at the 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another body at the 4 Totally forgot that you guys drafted Herbert Jones, one of the most underrated prospects in the draft. His ceiling is limited but he can be a Torrey Craig type of player and should be ready to play from day one. Think he gets some minutes at the 3/4. Think adding another 4 with some floor stretching ability would pretty much complete your roster. Paul Millsap on the MLE would be nice, IIRC he's a Louisiana boy too. Ideally at some point I think you'd hope that Murphy can start and NAW can come off the bench in a scoring 6th man role. Graham fits in well as a starter because you want the ball in Zion/Ingram's hands and he can play off ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
