rank which guard do you like alongside luka most

[JD45]

Brunson is the best fit. He knows how to play with him and those two had some really good games together already. Just needs to get more consistant and he could even become close to 20ppg scorer someday. I was angry at Brunson because he is not a willing passer but if he's playing long minutes with him that's actually not such a bad thing.

Brunson is up to 65% true shooting. So he can likely add some more scoring, especially with more minutes. He may never be a good playmaker, but a 20 ppg small scoring guard looks very likely. He seems like he is becoming Jason Terry Junior.

I'd much rather have the guys we have now than any of those 3 to be honest.

That's delusional, since all three are significantly better than every guard on our roster (especially Powell).

Richardson is far better than Powell. The guy is recovering from COVID, of course he's not going to look great for some time, same with Maxi. Powell is yet another undersized guards, we've been there, done that.

Oladipo has been traded 3 times already, there's a reason why.

That's straight up, objectively delusional. This year Powell is putting up:

18/3/2 on 48/43/90 shooting. 17 PER, 63% TS, .6 BPM.

Richardson peaked in Miami at (and has been way worse for both Philly & Dallas):

17/4/4 on 41/36/86 shooting. 14 PER, 54% TS, .3 BPM.

There's a MASSIVE chasm between their shooting ability and efficiency, and their defense is similar, with Powell being better the past two years.

There is zero logical argument for JRich over Powell.

Powell with 36 points on 14-19 shooting tonight (still 7 minutes left). Yeah, definitely wouldn't want him over Richardson...

Powell with 36 points on 14-19 shooting tonight (still 7 minutes left). Yeah, definitely wouldn't want him over Richardson...

Contributing to a championship team previously, he'd be a vast improvement over Richardson, but I don't see him taking 19 shots on this team...he'd feast on maybe 12-13 shots starting alongside Luka...Richardson was good in Miami, but was injured for the 76ers and for the Mavs so he hasn't played up to his potential thus far.

What a signing the shell of Blake Griffin once he's released?

[Mavrelous]

He's going to LA or Brooklyn, and I expect him to surprise a lot of people, like Batum did with the Clippers, he's 31, he still has 3 good years in him.

Powell, 4-14 with 13 points, 2 assists, 3 boards, 3 turnovers in a loss to Charlotte

Richardson, 6-11, 20 pts, 4 assist, 4 boards, 1 to in a win over Den

Yea Powell is clearly the obvious, non delusional choice
