Yeah at this point I'd put JD firmly ahead of Yam.
Might want to just cut our losses and include Yam as filler in a trade. Maybe someone (a lottery team) wants to give him a shot as a backup PG.
Yam just won the EuroLeague up and comer award, so that hype might be enough for someone to want him.
Yam is the better
player right now.
He played in a tougher league against better opponents under a very strict coach. He made huge strides in playmaking and most important defense. He was instrumental in getting Partizan a Championship (first since many years).
