Last season he shot the 3 at 40% and so far a nice start at 50%. Seems like Mason Plumlee that can shoot 3's. At least usable as a backup C.
If I’m getting a big lumbering guy I’m getting the biggest one, so Edey.
As a Michigan fan, I always thought Edey was the better pro prospect because they're probably both backup centers and Dickinson struggles in most situations on defence, whereas Edey is good if he's in drop coverage, and he just has more of a role player mentality. Like in the Alex Caruso quote:
“A big reason guys get stuck in the G-League is because they don’t realize the position they’re trying out for. It’s like going to a job interview thinking you’re going to be the CFO of the company, and they’re looking for someone to clean the bathrooms.”
Dickinson is real skilled, though. He's not as fluid as a Mason Plumlee, but I won't be surprised if he can shoot the 3.
I think we might end up trading this pick for a cheap rotation-y guy like an SG in Josh Green, Agbaji or Moody, maybe with Trent going out and some bad 2025 money coming back (Richaun Holmes if it's Josh Green, Gary Payton JR if it's Moody and if it's Agbaji, we throw in another 2nd and get Olynyk and Trent goes to a 3rd team with Utah netting a 3rd 2nd or some young guy Ainge likes).
