Re: Thomas Bryant or Moritz Wagner???
Is it possible that they both make the all-star team?

Choosing between Bryant and Wagner is tough right now. Sort of like choosing between Quisp and Quake.

Re: Thomas Bryant or Moritz Wagner???
I would basically feel the same as Nate's post, but I also see Bryant and Wagner as two of the best prospects we have regardless of position. There is the question of long term salary and maximizing assets by the timing of their value and when you leverage a trade around that, but if we could get away with keeping both and playing Mo at least some minutes at power forward, that would be an optimal outcome for me.
There is always the chance that the league will end up going big again as the next generation of 4's and 5's increase their shooting range. Mo can probably matchup at least with guys like Lauri-M or Aldridge or Horford or Ilyasova or Sabonis and so forth.
If Center-Forwards come back into fashion, keeping both could be a nice spot, so I'm really in no rush to do anything or decide. I'm also not so sure that our upcoming draft pick is going to be better than either of these guys.

Next year and beyond I expect TB to be the guy that comes off the bench and provides a nice scoring punch for 20-25 mpg. In the short term I think the lineups will stay the same as Mo has a bad fouling problem and probably couldn’t stay on the floor for a full game if he started. The cool thing is because both guys can shoot playing them at the same time is doable if not ideal.
I can't wait to remind you of what you "expect." I suppose you also "expect" his 51.6% 3-point percentage to continue as well? Right? Along with the 69% 2 pt. %
After all, if a guy can do it for 231 minutes, why shouldn't he be able to do it for 2500 minutes. In fact, with his "higher upside," we should expect him to improve his 3-pt. shooting, right? Isn't that what usually happens?
I truly, honestly believe that by next season Mo will be shooting 100% from every conceivable spot on the floor including half/full court heaves.
In fairness, I can see why. After all, he's already doing just that on his makes!
