Kangaroo Kidd-Gilchrist for Ben Simmons

World B. Flat for Kyrie Irving

You are right, he isn’t a real rookie and is massively advantaged over rookie, but you don’t need to be so defensive about it

I’m going with Chet, cause I think he might be more versatile and better suited to not being a first option, plus he was instantly good in the NBA, which is tough to do. But both should be excellent.

Bucks are garbage this season and far behind Boston. Had an easy schedule and been money in the clutch, so it is taking a little while for fans of other teams to catch on, but Bucks fanbase may be one of the least satisfied by the end of the season.

Rare situation where fans of rival teams probably think Bucks are better than they are. Part of it is disastrously bad coaching - Griffin isn’t just trying to get team to play a scheme that is ill-suited to personnel, he is genuinely bad as a defensive coach. But Bucks already fell off last season and kinda disguised that by being very clutch in the regular season and winning more games than they should have. They likely would be disappointing even if they didn’t have a bad offseason.

Cade isn’t a bust necessarily, unless he keeps being typecast into a primary star role, but he doesn’t really have any flaws that weren’t clearly apparent in college. I do think playing him with Ivey more might help him, just to get a quicker ballhandler near him. Cade is just not very shifty or good at creating space and so getting good shots is tough for him and so any shooting slump will really hurt. Even in college, he often couldn’t get to rim and threw up bad floaters and got blocked a lot.

Also, I feel like Scoot was super overhyped. Way too early to judge, but people fixed their opinion on him way too early, when he just matured physically way sooner than the competition. Remains to be seen how athletically dominant he looks when he faces other people with grown man strength and he isn’t that special of a shooter, passer, or defender to be a star if he isn’t physically dominant.

He moves like Paul Pierce, major disconnect between his physical tools and his play style.

White off the list is insane given how well he has performed in high profile playoff games. Even when he was a Spur, he had that monster performance vs. Denver.

Meh, Miller probably was better last year, looks better right now, went higher in draft, I see no reason for Henderson to jump Miller now.
