@samballtalk @xjsting @bjpf_ -hand-eye coord -speed -quickness -deceleration -control -strength -power -flexibility -ability to practice all of these functionally this list is not entirely comprehensive. Doncic / Brunson / Shai have elite deceleration. Shai also has elite quickness (the other two don't).

@bobbydbobster @xjsting @bjpf_ ofc i mean relative to their own peers, cause athletic next to the common man means nothing. i'm not familiar with swain as an athlete anyway, so yeah the point of my reply was just to poke your brain on how you view athletic traits in any player.

@samballtalk @xjsting @bjpf_ I'm not opposed to branching off to that convo. I'd start it with: Define the scope of athleticism you're asking me about. Every pro athlete, by definition, is an elite athlete, by one reasonable definition.

i personally think the starters have the worst synergy we could have and that's supposed to be the tone setting lineup lol

i think the second problem is who he shares his double big mins with. unfortunately we didn't really have time to experiment with bench double big + dub lineups

@okcamars @PranavSriraman I think he’s a PF on defense. When he plays the wing and away from the rim although he’s still good but, he’s not playing towards his biggest strengths. I think Chet had the same problem when he first started playing PF defensively

@xjsting @bjpf_ I felt you were stating something bleedingly obvious but unhelpful. In basketball terms when you talk about someone being an “elite athlete” you’re talking about LeBron not KD… Westbrook not Brunson…

@okcamars probably a better stat to paint him as a negative considering all his off non-garbage mins last year were the damn mvp lol

teams weren't necessarily good right after drafting these guys but teams knew they were a few correct steps away from either stepping away from tanking or the lottery in general

in the past 6 drafts 2019 - zion 2020 - ant 2021 - cade 2022 - paolo (chet was number 2 lol) 2023 - wemby 2024 - risacher (ok this draft was bad lol) 2025 - cooper flagg

@coolkid147 @joelvmoran I just don’t agree with his point just based off of history. Even jimmy butler was the 30th. Teams scouting departments suck. There’s more than one way to build a team. Stop giving the la vines max deals and actually develop talent

question boils down to how much losing this season hampered his development and willingness to bank on hitting upside at his big old age and contract
Pranav Sriraman@PranavSriraman

I’m terrified of his offensive play and synergy and how we’ve been flat out worse with him this year. I understand the injuries while also seeing how his offense got worse from year 2 to 3 before that. I understand his defense is game breaking and the off ball and shotmaking prowess he showed in year 1 and 2 paired with the defensive brilliance shown in year 3 and passing in year 4 could lead to him being a top 10 player which is why I’m terrified to think about getting rid of him as much as I’ve analyzed the data points that suggest it might be for the best.

@MapleGlazed_ we can come to that conclusion but the second question is whether samuel prestigiacomo has

there's a chance the shooting wishes are just dead in the water and paigneault just wants to keep spamming ball screens without committing him to offball role (in a hub offense without shai) and even then both versions of offball dub require more 3 spamming
