Knox: Soft, poor handles, low basketball IQ, poor efficiency, not good defender
Mikal Bridges: Efficient, consistent, high IQ, good defender, limited offensively
Trae Young: versatile offensively, impressive court vision, below average efficiency, small, terrible defensively
Sexton: Explosive, gets to the rim, good defender, poor basketball IQ and court vision, not a great shooter, competitor
Bamba: Ridiculously long, very good perimeter defender, post defense will get better with more weight, great rebounder, tons of potential, overmatched offensively due to lack of muscle/weight
Gilgeous-Alexander: Finesse finisher, playmaker, struggles to crate for himself, struggles to finish in traffic, skinny (180 lbs), lots of potential
Porter Jr: Great in transition, great shooter, slow footed on D, poor defensive effort, lacks explosion and handles, lacks strength, poor IQ, zero court vision, plays selfish basketball
Lonnie Walker: very athletic, explosive, streak shooter, confident, poor efficiency, poor basketball IQ and vision, poor handles, doesn’t get to the rim for someone of his physical nature + doesn’t draw fouls, good potential
Miles Bridges: good shooting form, athletic, good handles, limited offensively, poor playmaker, turnovers, limited upside
Wendell Carter Jr: Versatile offensively – can play in and out smoothly, great passer, high IQ, not very athletic, finesse player, great rebounder, plays tentative and soft at times
Out of all these guys I like Sexton and Gilgeous-Alexander the most. Mikal too, as a safe pick.
Knox, to me, would literally be the worst player out of all these guys.
This reads like you cherry pick what attributes you want to assign to people to fit your narrative...guys you favor you minimize their negatives and guys you don't want to make them bigger than they are.
