Ceiling considertaions

[esvl]

I wonder what folks do you think about potential our guys have. Let me start first by giving my ranking. Please note that first numbers stand for the highest ceiling, the letters that follow - for probability of its achievement.

Ja - 9A
JJJ - 8,5A
ZW - 8C
Bane - 8B
LaRavia - 7,5C
Aldama - 7,5D
Brooks - 7A
Lofton - 7D
Tyus - 6,5A
Clarke - 6,5A
Roddy - 6,5B
Chandler - 6,5C
Vince - 6,5D

I have trouble deciding what ZW's absolute ceiling is. Something just barely under what Ingram is is generally my go to. His handle may be what keeps him for getting there though. As for the new guys it feels too early to assign much, but I doubt anything more than a solid role player is in the cards for any of them.

Warriors fan here.
I have the Grizzlies as the 2nd best team in basketball next year. One playoff injury to any of the top 6 Warriors and Memphis should win the championship if they are healthy. I am assuming Jones comes back and that no important Grizzly from last year leaves.
I hope that the team offense can flow as nicely with Ja on the court as it does with him off the court. I think JA's teammates stand arround watching Ja too much. Let Ja score within the flow of the offense even though Ja is great one on one. Ja will get better looks within the flow of the offense but maybe not as many looks.

I won $1,000 when the Warriors won the championship last year but I had small hedging bets on the Celtics and Grizzlies because I thought those teams had a chance to beat the Warriors. I ruled the Bucks out when Middleton got injured.
Clippers have a chance this year if everything goes right for them. Pelicans could surprise people by reaching the Western conference finals and they are a threat to the Clippers, Warriors and Grizzlies but they won't win the championship.

Bettors are screwing up by favoring teams that won't win. I don't think the Celtics can beat the winner of Grizzlies vs Warriors.
