Just think as a two-way guy there's a more realistic path to Donte contributing more for a title team than Huerter.
Kevin Huerter is going to turn heads this year. Kid was 12/4/4 on 38% from three as a 21 year old. I think he's on the cusp of entering elite NBA floor spacer territory, which I don't think Donte ever touches. I love Donte, but I'd deal Donte for Huerter without thinking twice. I said it during that draft, and I'll say it again, Huerter has far more wiggle and floor game than people think. I think Huerter has legitimate fringe all-star upside, I think Donte is going to have a long super role player career.
I could see Huerter making the jump above his present Tony Snell status, but he'll never approach the value of Donte.

Portis is the backup to Giannis, it's his most natural position
In your opinion can they get anything worthwhile from DJ Wilson in a backup C role? Or was that series of games in early 2019 a fluke.
DJ can defend, that was no fluke, he shows it with the Herd too. It's just a matter of he can ever make a shot. It seemed they liked something they saw in him in the bubble, but they never quite pulled the trigger on playing him.
If he could get through training camp without a hammy pull, that would be a good first step to his development.

I mean, you've been **** on the guy since before he was drafted, and you've been pretty off as is. It doesn't help when you continue to throw out the lazy "he's awfully slow."

Why even waste the time and space to say such a stupid thing?

Who is our backup center? Apart from Lopez who is the big body we can put on Embiid for example
Our backcourt is Jrue and DDV both mediocre shooters, last year we had Wes who we could defend big SGs like Leonard and Butler this year we have this Forbes guy that can't defend anybody
we want Bud to play more the starters especially in the playoffs but injuries happen, people get in foul trouble or have bad games, are we going to play the 2nd round rookies or Thanasis and Wilson

Again you're going over the line defending Huerter.

Giannis is now really hurt and he is struggling mentally to overcome the fact that the whole NBA World is laughing at our FO , on which he hoped to make a Championship team ... Giannis will overcome this struggle and battle it out , no doubt. Imagine if you were like his brother and love him so much and he says that he only cares about winning a ring ... would you advise him to stay in Mil ? I would advise him to NOT sign the Supermax and decide in summer. So here we are ... we are going to start the Championship like this and Holiday will probably have his thoughts on whether he wants to sign an extension or not.
I really don't get the optimism ... I will see the difference between Bled and Jrue in the playoffs. Giannis body is one year older, and struggled the previous year to stay healthy, Khris is a walking 40 year old good old scool basketball player, Jrue has to improve and excel at the playoffs ... I don't see the youth nor the "dogs" we wanted and the enforcers we need at the playoffs.
DDV is too short to play high level D at the playoffs, I said what I think about Pat C. We are probably at the same level , our morale is ultra low , we are one year older , same coach , almost same players .... and other contenders have improved ... I simply can't see how we are reaching the Finals, even the East Finals ...
How you're not told to shut the eff up more here is beyond me. The restraint shown by members here is amazing.
Before him there were others, like MBBOT.
Ron Swanson wrote:While the moves we've made this offseason put a lot of pressure on the front office, it also puts a lot of pressure on Giannis. Was pretty clear that they went in looking to both A) Upgrade Bledsoe's position, and B) add shooters, and they pretty much accomplished both. If we get a 3rd straight postseason where the "wall" defense neutralizes Giannis, then I can't blame the roster construction here.
GHOSTofSIKMA wrote: I think that we will do worse than last season and that Giannis is now just a mere all star. All because we switched from Bud to Griffin.
