Wagler is super intriguing but man, he's gotta find a way to make more than 30% of his 2s
Yea...I think it'll take some time but Wagler will get there. Kind of like Egor this year. Last year, all Egor did was chuck threes, and this year, he's embracing contact. The main thing for me is that Wagler is tough...his rebounding numbers are pretty high, he's not afraid of contact, and he wants to play defense. That tells me there's hope for him. He might not get there because of injuries or because he can't put on weight, but it's worth the gamble.
I think lots of luck involved, especially with team placements and injuries. Caleb Wilson just got hurt and then AJ Dybantsa is getting treated like Risasher right now on the Wizards...and Darryn Peterson was getting treated like Keyon Dooling for a long time until the Jazz players started dropping like flies.
And then you got dudes like Acuff who might have too much freedom
Think Yaxel and Boozer might have the right mix of freedom and structure.
I respect your drafting eye though. You always have good opinions that aren't just following pundits...that Ty Jerome signing was great.

I still believe in Reed Sheppard’s long-term upside, especially with him being younger, but watching Yaxel shoot like this to start the season has been painful. Never saw this level of offensive production coming. Congrats, OKC. You got a good one.

Hey I appreciate it man. I've always followed NBA pretty close but I've never dug in the way I have over the past 15 months. "Thanks, Cap."
And I think all that is pretty spot on. Nice Keyon Dooling pull too!

Yeah I don't think many people knew Yaxel was this good (I definitely didn't). He's quickly become one of my favorite players and dudes in general in the league. What a wild story.

It's 3AM. You should be asleep but a burning question gnaws at your mind. Pulls at your soul. It's Bassey. He's got a career 20 PER but he's never stuck with a team. This is starter material, you figure. A gem somebody's bound to discover if you don't pull the trigger and fast. Just a dollar. Four years. Maybe three. Keep the Birds, if you catch my drift. Or was it all an illusion.
I don't know how some of you draft so well. There used to be all this GOOD free content in 2018 and now very little worth a damn remains. Do you actually watch college games? How?
