Stacking picks like that cannot be rewarded. If the bucks trade Giannis, you can guarantee they aren’t getting anything with those three first round picks or however it works now.

>>152786993
His shooting and passing will keep him on the floor as well. I don't think it was a bad pick, I just think a lot of people struggle to distinguish between doing role player skills really well and doing star skills really well. I think he'll end up as a similar level player to Kon, and Flagg will be a mile ahead of them both.
>>152787014
It'd take some crazy development for him to ever be a reliable high volume self creator. His passing doesn't standout either. But yeah, it's still more likely than Kon starting to get chase down blocks and put backs.

Wonder if OKC would trade the Sixers 1st back to them for a future first or so. Not sure how many roster spots they have these days. Or maybe they'd just package it to trade up. Philly having Clippers 2028 1st and 2029 swap could be nice

>>152786932
Jimmy Butler and Westbrick shot like ass and we're fine. Is way to early in VJs career to think he can't change his game.

>>152786835
sadly thats not how the league works
some players just get special treatment
same reason why bronny was forced so much

Coopsr is young, great but he often takes a few seconds to survey his options.

This often delights fans of iso basketball and can win games based on pure talent

>>152787090
Edgecombe's a good shooter, the issue is creation. He's a poor rim finisher, has no mid range counters, isn't much of a passing threat. I wouldn't bet on 'Jimmy Bulter but 2 inches shorter and 40 lbs lighter'

>>152787140
I didn't make it that clear, what I'm saying is that it's very unlikely Edgecombe will ever be able to draw fouls or score close to the basket anywhere near as well as Butler does, given what he's shown so far and simply his size

>>152787077
>It'd take some crazy development for him to ever be a reliable high volume self creator.
he doesnt need to be a high volume shot creator. Being an All-Defense guy who shoots in the high 30s/low 40s on 3s is good enough for a long career

>>152786961
Lebiich doesn't bring in money, he is boring to watch, his highlight reel is low percentage memechucking, flopping & chimpouts. Lakers were so much better before he came back

>>152787198
Yeah for sure, he's already a good and impactful role player, I think he'll become slightly more efficient but besides that not improve much. 3rd was probably the right spot.

>>152787097
Why are so many nba players deadbeats

>>152787140
>He's a poor rim finisher
You think because he hasn't been finishing at the rim well in the first half of his rookie year it's "unlikely Edgecombe will ever be able to draw fouls or score close to the basket? He's also taller than Westbrook

>>152787217
>3rd was probably the right spot.
if he can improve his shot creation as a 3rd/4th option while providing great defense thats a steal

>>152787232
As the 3rd pick I wouldn't call that a steal
>>152787223
He's never been a good rim finisher, that stuff doesn't usually just improve exponentially over time, especially not for guys his size
>unlikely Edgecombe will ever be able to draw fouls or score close to the basket?
Yeah just ignore the next few words sure
>He's also taller than Westbrook
If you're betting on him becoming Westbrook then that's fine, but like I said it'd be a crazy development story because he's one of one. Maybe Maluach becomes Embiid. Maybe Kon becomes Luka.

>>152787292
>As the 3rd pick I wouldn't call that a steal
do you really think every draft produces a star caliber player with every top 5 picks?

>>152787304
No which is why I said 3rd was probably the right spot. The two guys taken ahead of him both have more star upside than him quite clearly imo.

I don't think Jimmy Butler is good at all.

>>152787292
>He's never been a good rim finisher, that stuff doesn't usually just improve exponentially over time
Literally maxey on the same team was bad finishing at the rim Early on, I don't know what you think this is some impossible task.
>>152787292
>If you're betting on him becoming Westbrook
Nobody said that, you discounting him because of his size and making retarded takes based on half of his rookie season. The comparisons illustrate how naive you are.

>>152787315
Im responding to your comment of
>As the 3rd pick I wouldn't call that a steal

>>152787014
>it’s easier to improve offense then defense
Absolute retard take. There’s guys in this general that are young and tall that could defend passably in the NBA. It’s literally mostly length, youth(athleticism), and most importantly effort. The vast majority of nba players could improve defense by just trying harder. Offense is what’s hard, and that’s why offensive players get paid

>>152786998
the lakers offered him that player option. if they didn't want him to have that player option they wouldn't offer it. are you just pretending to be retarded?

>>152787315
Nobody is arguing against that, you keep falling back on something nobody is saying

>>152787326
He’s not that good anymore, but mostly because he’s lost a step. He used to be a solid all star player

>Nobody said that
I literally didn't make the comparison. You or somebody else brought up Westbrook as a reason not to be low on Edgecombe's upside. Take it up with him if you think that comparison is stupid.

Danny Wolf gets the start for the 2nd game in a row and Egor is back.
