NOP may want to put trey Murphy in a more prominent role, and they already have BI and Zion as the other forwards. I don’t know if there’s a ton of room for herb.
I think if the bucks really want a wing defender for Tatum, Jimmy, KD, etc. herb would be better for those assignments than Jrue was.
Would be beautiful, but not sure how we pull it off. Would have to be like MarJon and the Portland pick, if they'd go for that, which I doubt.
MarJon's got the length and feet to take the task. He's got to bring consistency and discipline.
Herb just got signed to his new contract and he’s getting paid 12m this year, so my thought was Bobby, marjon, and the Portland second.
I could see both teams not wanting to do that, because it would severely limit our ability to make any follow up trades, and NOP may not value Bobby as their 5 moving forward, but I think I would do it.
Defense plays, and herb has a ton of positional versatility on that end.
You’re right about marjon, he showed a number of flashes last year of enveloping guards with his length while shadowing them nicely with his feet. I’m probably a little down on him from the summer, though. I think summer league gives you glimpses of a players mentality, and marjon, trying to take on more offensive load, really seemed to not give much effort on defense. That concerns me. I want a guy who wants to annihilate you on the defensive end, and I’m not sure marjon is wired that way. I think he wants to be a scorer. Very possibly an overreaction on my part. He has the tools, but he has to take pride on that end.
