Lets not forget this guy is a later pick rookie who missed all of TC, summerleague, and preseason.... who didnt play a ton in college last year... and who is coming off a recurring injury. The expectations should be on the lower end
as an example... hield played more last year, was a high lotto pick, participated in TC, summer league and preseason and is still struggling to find his way.
lets not crush the kid if he isnt good or doesnt play much this year
If you're going to try to mock my argument, at least try to get my argument right. I said that when LeVert comes back, were going to have to find minutes for him to play. That means Bogs/Skil/Harris will all lose minutes. And since Bogs/Skil/Harris all essentially have the same skill set while LeVert doesn't, it would make sense to trade one of those 3 players. And I said of those 3 players, the most expandable of them is Bogs.
I'm not arguing with you prok. You don't listen so there's no point. But don't go trying to start ****.
Not trying to get in on your argument, but I agree with the you. Bogs is who he is, a streaky shooter who can create a little and is a poor defender. He would make a great 8th man on a contender. I don't think he fits well here because we don't have the ball handlers or creators that will get him open looks. Playing with RHJ and Booker means he is asked to do too much which ends up with turnovers and contested shots.
You are also right about not being able to share minutes. I think Harris is more of a sf but still Bogs, Skill and LeVert can't get enough minutes to share at the 2. Skill is turning into a better and more valuable player than Bogs (and is signed up for another couple of years for next to nothing) and LeVert is the organisations big development project. One of the 3 probably has to go by the time LeVert is ready for bigger minutes and I think that person should be Bogs.
If Orlando wants a sf, they can have him for Gordon or look to get a 1st rounder from a contender.
bogs gets tons of open shots... the motion offense does that for everyone here
