I don’t see why age is relevant here.
Theyre signing for 4~5 years, not 10. Siakam will be 29 by the end of his contract, so the raptors will get all of his prime.
In theory Brown has more to evolve because he is younger, but in reality Siakam has showed to improve his game way way more than Brown, despite being older, so I don’t see this as an argument.
It's relevant because he's younger and has already had a better career to this point. How is that not relevant? I'm just throwing out comps of other guys from his draft class, and saying I think he should get something in the middle of those two guys.
How? I think both Hield and Siakam are both the better players right now. Brown has yet to have a season with a positive BPM. Per game stats or advanced stats for the regular season, both Hield and Siakam just had better seasons than Brown has ever had. Siakam just won a championship and put together a better playoff run than Brown has had.
I do think Pascal is better right now, I'm a big fan of his. I don't think Buddy is better but that's debatable. But my point was those guys should be better because they are 3-4 years older.
In my previous comment I pointed to Jaylen being a more proven and consistent playoff performer over his career so far. Pascal had an a amazing playoffs last year but Jaylen has been very good in more postseasons. In the comment you just quoted I was less exact with my take and I agree I was off base a bit in saying his overall career has been better.
In any case, I then said I think Jaylen should get something in the neighborhood of Buddy money (not Pascal's max). He's a two way player who has performed well in multiple postseasons at a young age and still has upside.
