Gradey basically proved in February that if his shot is on for an extended period of time he raises the ceiling of the team.

Brown is a known quantity so it wouldn't matter if we started him.

The answer is easily Gradey by age, pick range and ability.

At 1:25 of the video, Bobby kind of eludes to Dick being the 5th starter, at least to start the year.

If we want to win games and make the playoffs it's Vezenkhov, if we want to get picks start Brown and if we want to stealth tank it's Dick or Agbaji.

Interested in seeing how Mogbo's shooting comes around, maybe he could be the big wing 3 and D guy we need in that spot. I think we need to have more size out there, RJ/Scottie at the 3 and 4 is too small. Maybe Chris Boucher can get a look there if he embraces a 3 and D role.

I think gradey will eventually become that guy but it may be agbaji to start the season. Especially if the corner shot is falling. Or bruce to get that value up.

I think those are the 3 most likely options.

Mogbo can’t shoot from mid range, let alone the 3.

Dick or Brown. I want Scottie at the 4 permanently (so no Vezenkov).

It would be nice if Brown came ready to play and could actually contribute.

I'd go with Dick. Put RJ on the stronger offensive wing. We'll be terrible defensively, but maybe they can put it together by the end of the year.

At this point I expect it will be Bruce Brown, as there are unlikely to be any trades. In such a way as to increase his value for the trade deadline.

At this pick it gotta be Gradey. I would love to plug in Walter for a game or two after All-Star break just to see how he developed over the season and if he can perform under pressure since games post-All-Star break is at a different notch.
