Tidjane Salaun, Ja'Kobe Walter, Isaiah Collier, (Carlton) Bub Carrington seems to be some of the big boom or bust offensive players in our draft range. I personally like Bub Carrington the most.
I dont know if Im taking shots away from any of our current guys for these dudes. I think we need a better offensive balance and not having a true big to help with post offense hurts.
Really you think our current scorers are doing just fine? It's a thought provoking question, because I believe we need to have some of those shots taken away from some of our guys, I really do. If Bam is not going to be aggressive, Id rather not give those to the Highsmiths, Calebs of our bench but instead to Someone with better offensive IQ and the ability to win their matchup on any given day. We don't have a quality 6th man who can get buckets at will, its all spread around, like were watching Highsmith do hook shots at the rim to get us buckets, in what world is this acceptable. Were hoping that Kevin Love a almost 40 year old vet is the guy anchoring our bench scoring. Miami is in desperate need of a slasher archetype scorer, we have a bunch of motion shooters or 3&D wing shooters that can't do anything with a dribble.
My take is this:
1. Bam on most nights will not be as aggressive as we want there's that, no at high volume anyways.
2. Jimmy is getting older, and will continue to drop his PPG as seasons go on, and play less and less games.
3. Herro is not a very good high volume high efficiency scorer, so we need to tail him down to do less shots attempts regardless.
4. We don't have a quality high volume scorer from the bench. Jaquez will at some point become a starter, and join the team.
5. We don't run our offense through Jovic, so he isn't going to be scoring often either.
6. Rozier is the only guy on this team, that has a semblance of slashing ability due to his quickness and ball handling, but he is a very small guard, that can get clogged often at the rim with size unless he has separation.
We need a slasher that's 6'-5" or bigger, quick speed, high vertical leap, long wingspan, has good ball handling and will get a bucket on 1v1 situation over 95% of the defenders in the league just on his athletism alone. Skill is secondary.
