Year 2 Gradey is already a better player than GTJ was for us. Really looking forward to seeing how he develops

Kid looks great. Between RJ, IQ & GD, maybe we already have enough scoring power around Scottie. Three 20ppg scorers who can all hit the 3.
If this team gets healthy in the 2nd half, they are going to rack up some.wins..

Now we need some solid youth at the 4/5.

That will come with the upcoming draft.

Cooper is the wing player we need to pair with Scottie.

He's only 20 and still skinny like a high school kid !
after 2-3 years he find his best body form and stable enough,
he'll be a great scoring weapon

Mogbo looks like he'll be a solid backup 4 who can play some 3 or small ball 5. But we definitely need a good young big in the system besides Chomche.

The future is looking really good

His handle is still bad. It hasn't improved at all? I want to see him handle the ball and run some pick and roles. He's doing well but we need him to be a complete player. There's no reason he can't be better than Herro.

He's five games into his second season, and it's fair to say the better NBA players add things each summer to become the players they are. I'm sure his third and fourth seasons will add things. But right now, with Scottie and IQ out, he's being asked to carry the offence with RJ so adding those subtle improvements will have to wait.

I'd rather have him score 30 without dominating the ball. Klay and Rip won rings without being able to go beyond 2 dribbles.

It will likely get better with experience over many years like Derozan. Be patient. :meditate:

Right now Franz is the better passer but Dick has more potential to score like Banchero putting up 50pts the other night. I take the elite shooter in Dick.

Yeah it's Franz by a clear margin. One 30 point game and people are getting a little nuts :lol:

And I'm a big fan of Dick. Love the Dick.

He’s not that type of player. His impact and appeal comes from his off ball movement.

They're different types of players. It'd be like comparing Mikhail Bridges to Cam Johnson.

Agreed. That's the beauty of his game. You can be a major weapon without dominating the ball at all.

Will his handle get better? For sure. I think his handle has already gotten better. But he shouldn't change his game.

He's a modern day version of Kyle Korver right now.
