Zach Lowe had Sarr on his All-Rookie 2nd Team. He had Edey 1st team which is a bit questionable b/c Edey hadn't really been unleashed until like the last two weeks or so. Sarr has just been a more consistent player IMO.

Goldsberry had Sarr 1st Team All Rookie and Bub on his 2nd team.

Team picture. Looks like Kyshawn grew over the season. He looks nearly as tall as Richaun Holmes.

Keyshawn looks about an inch taller than Middleton, anyway.

Kispert looks totally jacked in that photo.

I can’t fathom why Collier beat out Carrington for second team. Carrington is better across the board, except in assists. Collier gets about 50% more assists per minute, but at a cost of double the turnover rate. Carrington is a more efficient scorer and way more accurate three point shooter.

Sarr and Vuk are both listed at 7'. But Sarr looks a good 2 or 3 inches taller than him here?

Two things are said here that are consistent with my observations.

When Kyshawn was asked what sticks out to him about Bub he references his confidence and leadership.

When Bub was asked the same question about Kyshawn he mentioned that George gets a lot of deflections and blocks because of his ability to anticipate things on the court.

Those two kids are very easy to like!
Composed, extremely smart, & confident in a solid way. They remind me of my grandchildren. They exude success.

That is strange. Sarr measure in a 0.5" taller than Vuk (6'11.75 vs 6'11.25), and Thor & Holmes measured w/o shoes at 6'8.5. To me, Vuk looks 2 inches taller than them AT MOST.

And Matas Buzelis has also been playing quite well as we saw last night.

Bub really got better as the year went on.

Here’s a redraft of the 2024 draft. Sarr stays at #2, Bub moves up to #12, and Kyshawn moves up to #19.

Castle is #1.

Here's the former TSW (the secret weapon in honor
of former Wizard/Bullet Charles Jones) take on the
season. I found it to be quite fair. His conclusion is
the obvious one, they were really bad which is
inarguably true but that there also were some things to
be encouraged by.

PS- he lists the PPAs for the entire roster

For our younger players (in descending order):
Poole - 118
Champagnie - 114
Sarr - 77
Bilal - 75
Jones - 68
Vuk - 65
Bub - 59
KG- 53

I'm not sure how these numbers would look different over the last 15-25 games.

Kyshawn should be higher. I'd have him around 14th. I think he is more likely to be an effective NBA player than someone like Ron Holland. At least Kyshawn has a clear and obvious role right now, plus some upside.
