There’s a reason there are still positions. When you think about averages over time and the different opponents over time on average you’re going up against a different skill set and have different responsibilities at the 2 vs the 3. like think of Klay Thompson if he were to have to play the 3 long term you would notice the deficiencies. Donovan Mitchell another one. Devin Booker there’s a reason these guys play the 2. Size and skill sets over time across the league. Agreed. You don't really want to be huge at the 5 but being big at the 2-4 is huge for teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSteelers56 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Any takes on Kenneth Lofton Jr? He’s a uniquely sized guy, but seems to play well at every level. Will he sneak into the draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 I actually like that move for Denver, Green is 32 years old and was terrible in the playoffs for them. They freed up enough space for a $6.2M contract to use in free agency and acquired an additional 1st round pick this year. 2027 is 5 years down the road so I want to see the protections but I'd guess there are some on that pick. Denver could use 21/30 to move up as well. According to the value chart 21/30 is enough to get up to 13-16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least USA was running their offense thru him, especially in the 2nd half. I think he will, and should, get drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinneasGage Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 i think i don't care who the magic take anymore. my opinion on jabari has regressed. my opinion on chet has gotten more favorable. paolo i still don't like, but i'd get it. ivey looks the most like a star so i'd get that. whatever the magic do, i really can't be upset. wish there was a bonafide star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has crazy physical gifts, no need to stay in the draft, get taken in the 2nd round, receive a non-gtd contract, and then end up in the G-League for the majority of next season anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
