WE both know you are just gonna keep posting horrible takes and bringing up Siakam and Masai in every thread though. Even the FVV haters quit once he was gone. When are you gonna stop?
In all fairness the FVV haters stopped because I kept banning them.

It’s his defense that will determine starter or bench

Even if he becomes an average defender, he should be a permanent bench player/6th man if our core is IQ/RJ/Scottie moving forward. That trio needs an elite defender. If Scottie doesn't break out as a high level scorer/shot creator, then that core basically needs a two-way perennial all-star wing.

Yeah, except RJ is more suited to be a 6th man. The SL needs shooting.

RJ did fine as a starter for us, whereas Gradey still needs to develop and prove he can defend at an average rate.
Gradey’s profile fits much more as a bench man. If we move RJ to the bench, then we’ll still be looking for starter #4 and starter #5. It makes zero sense for him to come off the bench.

Defenders have to chase him, either off the line or around a curl, at one point he was leading rookies in cuts made. But he's more than just a specialist because of his IQ, he may have some creative finishing abilities too, he made a few up n under finishes this year. Being 6'7 helps, so adding strength should unlock more of his game.

It might be because it's been like a decade since we've had anyone resembling an elite shooter on the roster, but I am also very happy to have him. After having to watch a ton of overlapping skills, it's refreshing to have a guy that does everything the rest of the roster doesn't do and complements them so well. Hopefully Dick pops this year.

One of the biggest reasons I want him in the SL, is cause I think him and Scottie could foster a deadly combo at some point. I wanna see them get more reps together. Out of 1267 total minutes played, he only spend 339 with Scottie on the court. He also showed a decent report with IQ, so seeing all 3 together would be nice. Gradey I think is much more in the teams future plans than RJ.
