Now the Pacers are entering the Jalen Brunson sweepstakes. That means we’re going to have to get into a bidding war to secure his services.

I’d rather just go with IQ.

We draft one in 2023 when we're in the lottery. :)

I think that he's already shown that he can. Is he a finished product? No. But where are we going anytime soon? Let him grow and make mistakes with the rest of the young core. I mean, isn't that the point (no pun intended)?

You guys keep saying he's shown that he can, yeah against second units. There's 1 massive problem with his game that some of you don't seem to see, it's that he can't and doesn't get to the rim. How many starting PGs in the league don't put pressure on the rim?

He would have been fine if our coach gave him a starting role. I have no doubts he would have struggled but Quickly would have recognized it, put in work and we'd be good. But Thibs spent the last 2 season insisting Quickley couldn't be a starter. Quick not having experience against starters doesn't mean he can't be successful there. It means our coach has determined he won't get a chance to prove it.

Who cares we're not going anywhere next season anyway, it's about development. If he can't, that answers that question and you look elsewhere. He's shown he can worst case scenario do an ok job running point.... Even worst case scenario he's our best option. He's far from a worst case scenario, dont sleep on quick.

IQ gets to the rim less than Alec Burks, this is probably one of the reasons why he didn't start. He was at 9% of his shots coming within 0-3 feet of the rim, that would be the lowest number by a starting PG if he started, lower than a 35 year old Kyle Lowry. The lack of rim pressure from him is a real problem and not something you just develop, you either get there or you don't.

So pass on the superior player to see if IQ can do it?

Probably no choice. If u were Brunson would you sign with this mess to play with Randall ($117M and bad attitude/selfish/ball hog) and RJ (lowest of 69 players in dunks and shots at rim for those attempting over 800) who will want $181M? And a fan base who thinks Brunson's not worth $80M? Versus being the 2nd best player on a playoff team with Luka Doncick that was 20 games over .500? We'd be lucky to pick up Frank Nikitlina or Mudiay again. 8-)

Same ppl that call out IQ isn't a PG are the same ppl who say RJ is not finished product he's only 21. I guess 22 years old IQ has reached his ceiling lol.
