MOSteelers56 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Has Paolo shown any potential as a lob threat/rim runner/screener in the P&R this season? He seems like more of a bully ball guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like more of a bully ball guy. Paolo's biggest strengths are his ball handling and ability to hit shots off the bounce. He looks like a guard in a 6'10" dudes body and can go coast to coast with the ball in his hands. Duke hasn't really asked him to operate that much as a screener because he's usually playing alongside Mark Williams who's a non-spacer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Jaden Hardy has been completely terrible in the G-League. This years draft class has zero depth at guard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a lob threat/roll man in the worst way. I know one does not take a guy to be a rim runner exclusively in the high lottery, but it would be helpful if they could get a guy that has that ability.

I'm sure Paolo would be a monster operating in the pick-n-roll with Cade. Those two together would be a great foundation to build around.

NYRaider Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 If the Pistons can trade Grant for another 1st round pick this year they should target Kennedy Chandler. @Sllim Pickens @MOSteelers56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the lack of guards will push him up a little. He is the best of the guards after Ivey IMO and I don't see a F/C draft other than Ivey for the first 15 picks.

I think any team that trades a 1st for Grant would probably be later in the round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 AJ Griffin hasn't seen consistent minutes this season due to his knee injury but when he has played, man he looks like he can be special. Such a physically gifted athlete with a super soft shooting touch, reminds me of Jimmy Butler with more range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
