He is the best playmaking/ passing PG that we have. Great awareness/ court vision & he is always on target.

I am super high on this kid. He has the potential to become the most impactful player from our rookie class this year.

He may not be better than Kyle. He will be better than Fred. I don't recall one drive into 3 taller players. Not one.

lol, Fred continues to live rent free.

Not at all. Fred paid in advance.

It's a bold take to say Shead will be better than 20,7 and 5.

And he "may not be better than Lowry". If he becomes better than a top 10 impact player season over season, I'll eat a shoe.

lol that was such a wild take. People don’t understand how good Kyle was in his prime.

OK, may was the wrong choice of word. Odds of Shead being better than Kyle are small. Fred, for all his good, did much to tick people off. I don't see the destruction ego in Shead that Fred had post Kyle.

Odds of shead being better than FVV are small too.

That would mean he becomes a guy that ends up better than a one-off all-star. Shead would be lucky to be a starter, let alone good enough to get all-star votes, score 50+ in a game, be a key cog on a champion, etc.

This board just has lost the ability to be subjective about FVV. "destruction ego" makes no **** sense :lol:

Is there any other fanbase that regularly and thoroughly **** on its biggest successes like this fanbase does with FVV and Siakam?

I wouldn't say it is our fanbase, but it is a small subset of RealGM posters and twitter guys. Just pathetic honestly. They're gone now, you don't gotta keep up the act of pretending they suck :lol:

The general fanbase loves those two guys.

He knows how to work hard!

Maybe the NBA distance is better for him? He seems strong.

I said wide open, not heavily defended.

I made no mention of Pascal at all.

If not for the max contact he wanted I would have welcomed him staying.

Gonna have to see it over a much higher sample before I believe it is real. His shot still looks kind of flat to me and it surprises me when it goes in

His practice on it, perhaps? It's not always changing things that helps improve
