Picked Dame assuming we’re just evaluating the player and not the contract. He’s been a legit top 10 guy this year. 31/4/7 on .648 TS%. Obviously he doesn’t have the talent around him to compete in Portland but he’d be a hell of a weapon in the right situation.

Quite clearly Dame at the moment although SGA could make a case in the near future if he impresses in the play-offs. Morant and Mitchell are also at least in the conversation.

SGA for me

Defense and offense would translate in the playoffs

Donovan Mitchell methinks.
You said to me “I will give you scissor seven fine quality animation".

You left then but you put flat mediums which were not good before my scissor seven".

What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt?

Trae Young and Mitchell feel like the most proven options here. Peak Lillard too but i don't know about the current one.

Shai or Lillard. I think they’re the best floor raisers out of the bunch at this point, while I don’t think anyone in this group has too much an upper hand per-se scaling down into more of a secondary or third option (I would feel Booker is the best in that regard, as his touch economy is quite favorable)

A whole lot of context missing. Are we assuming these guys are the best players on the hypothetical team we're imagining? Second best? Fairly open ended.

I said Brown. I like him as a #2 option with his defensive versatility and value that more than the elite shot-making and scoring of Damian Lillard in a playoff setting.

Yes given that they will be the first player drafted on a clean roster. They would by default be the best player.

I feal like SGA hitting his peak and it's looking very impressive. Dame more toward the back end so I'm rolling with Shai.
