Saric - looking like the new favourite a month ago, but degraded later probably injured, low shooting numbers

yeah, should have sat when the plantar fasciitis set in, but he seemed determined to play every game this year. (kind of too bad they pulled him the last night, but they wanted to nail down the 4 pick.) now, after going non-stop for a couple years, he should finally get some time to recuperate and work on putting a little more arc on the long ball. guess if he and Embiid don't win ROY this year and Simmons don't win it next year, the 'ers should tear it down again.

He's already confirmed that he's playing for Croatia's national team this summer, lol. Not much time to recuperate.

My vote goes to Brogdon.

It's uncanny how in control he always seems to look. Great impact on a winning team. He sealed it for me when he did dirty things to the Celtics.

I really like Saric though. Great player to watch, what stuck with me were some of his iq plays/passing ability.

This explains why Murray fell off for a while.

I think Saric haven't showed half of his passing skills. He was dominant In junior tournaments, was allowed to do anything, and some oh his passes were insane. I thought he was bound to become best passing bigman since Sabonis. Funny thing, other Balkan, Nikola Jokic, rose from obscurity and became what I originally thought Saric could be. So at the end, I got that player that I hoped for, just not in Saric (tho Saric is also pretty decent).

There are very few rookies I would take over Maker. His upside is probably 2nd only to Embiid and is improving almost game by game.

For the love of basketball I hope Embiid is healthy. Boston defenders didn't even look like they wanted to try and stop that dunk.
