SGA deserves better than this roster of young players and end of the bench level (and both) guys. Dude is a legit superstar. 37 points tonight on 13 of 17 from the floor.

We need to develop guys like him, Mann and Dieng... too many minutes for Dort/Kenrich

We have to give time to find the third piece. Admittedly the only players I feel confident in that role would be Jalen Williams or maybe Dieng but he's a long ways off. I haven't given up on Giddey being more than just a good passer. We also have the ability to trade for a star. At the same time, look at Memphis. They have one true superstar. I think Shai can and is on Ja's level. Who is their number two? Realistically we aren't building a dynasty.
Desmond Bane and it's really amazing since he was like the 30th pick and he's in his third year and he's already all star level or close to all star level. It just goes to illustrate, you can take forever, but the best way to get good fast and cheap if you're a small market is just to get really lucky in the draft. And unfortunately there's no timeline for good fortune.
Yea I agree. I think that’s where I have a hard time with development. We can take all of this time for guys like bazley, poku, Mann, etc. When it’s all said and done, what are we really left with? Maybe a marginal starter on a playoff team? A decent guy for the second unit? That’s a lot of time, effort and even money spent/lost for guys that likely won’t move the needle much.

Is that "!! !!" meaning 'dude what are you doing trying to get banned from the league' or is it 'yeah Kuz is right. The movie was absolutely right about how Hitler made some strong points.' Because if its the latter I would cut Baze this instant.

I still have the opinion that Josh is a steal in last year's draft. Look at other players from this draft, like Suggs , Bouknight or Mitchell from SAC. Giddey is much better than those players. At number 6 he was the best player we could draft. Let him work on his shooting and don't forget how good he played with Chet in Summer-league.

). I also agree there's some concern about the fit with SGA but I still think it could work...no Dort would help a Giddey/SGA backcourt. Mr Thunder Nick wrote:I don't understand, why people are so negative on Giddey in this forum.
