There's only so much left side
No clue what happened with Grimes but apparently he sucks now.

They both have a 6‘9“ wingspan. (Ok, Deuce a quarter inch less.)
Thompson has around 4“ more standing reach.
Deuce got that leverage and build.
Yea Klay has the height defensively, which is important but I‘m curious to see how much Deuce can close the gap.
And wait till Deuce plays w Jokabitis next year. Fun fun w a PG.

Cam Reddish or Obi Toppin had issues of their own that no amount of coaching could fix.
Just like Spo couldn't turn Beasley and Kerr couldn't turn Wiseman into reliable rotation players. They're two of the great coaches of the modern era.
The only young player whose development I criticized was - ironically - RJ's. I don't think Thibs managed his development well at all.
He was much more patient with the likes of IQ and McBride and it paid huge dividends. Mitch also reached another level as a defender under Thibs.
But of course Thibs is merely a mediocre mind and the game of basketball would be blessed to have some Realgm posters coach the game and take it to another level. Everybody's stupid but them. They have it all figured out.
The thing that stunted RJ was less about coaching and more about teammates. RJ can’t be the focus with Brunson and Randle being better players, plus RJ plays better on an offense without legit centers in the paint.
If Randle was injured before the trade maybe RJ would have increased his value a bit.

CB wriggling out of his RJ assessment.
What big things did IQ accomplish

If it was legal and no other *big deals* were available this summer would you trade Deuce and Bogs for IQ?

Honestly, if the Raptors had two or three more Dicks, maybe they coulda kept things close.
