Vote Russell

Him and Wiggins are hard to pick apart, I think there would be less interest in the PG here

Vote Bertans
Kids played football, drove cars, went to school, celebrated life; while soldiers, heroes, their brothers struggled to find their way home from war; and young boys watched and grew wiser in their dreams.

Wiggins.
Why rely on nuance, facts and logic when you can bludgeon the other side with mindless repetition of "Duuur McDaniel's has potential :tooth and still be treated as if you were reasonable.

shrink wrote:Vote: Wiggins

I’m choosing Wiggins over Griffin because of his extra year. I also see no pathway for Wiggins to recoup a max deal in his role in GSW. What is he - potential defender, third option who shoots inefficiently? Worse, we have seen him with several different coaches, with several different systems, around youth and around vets (Butler), and with several different roles. We always see the same thing - he plays okay for a little while, then mails in it for weeks at a time. It’s his seventh year - expecting him to suddenly start caring now seems like wishful thinking. He still has a negative BPM in GSW, like he has every season in his career. His lack of effort on both ends of the floor will keep him in his traditional spot near the top of every year’s Worst Contracts list.


One interesting difference. Someone posted FiveThirtyEight’s projections of a fair contract, based on RAPTOR predictions and WARP.

Wiggins five year market value: $36.1
Russell five year market value: $76.6

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2021-nba-player-projections/dangelo-russell/

(It’s fun to look up the other nominees as well, btw)

I understand that I have always leaned towards longer samples than most before I change my view of a player, but I think Wiggins at #5 is already predicting a rosier outcome than we could even expect from the guy.

Russell. He should be off this list already. Minnesota gave up a frp for him and he is doing his best to make sure that pick a good one.
