Why Raptors are looking to trade Agbaji?

[Ell Curry]

He's having a great year and I'd love to see it continue, but he's a career 35% 3pt shooter and if he were to regress in that regard then suddenly his value would crater. If you get a good offer then you have to consider selling high

This is the thing here. The front office has all that fancy practice shooting data and whatever else. If Ochai is a 36 or 37% guy, we're probably selling high, since he's not that high volume a shooter. If they think he's a 40% guy with decent defence, we're probably getting excess value on him from him on his next contract.

I am unsure we we wait until Dick or Walter before handing a contract to Agbaji, and I wouldn't be surprised non of them would be here long term if Barnes needs both guard spots to create off ball penetration. None of them project to be greater than 3rd option.

Again, it is unrealistic to expect every player on your team to be more than a 3rd option. Some of our prospects are gonna top out as fringe starters, bench guys, etc. But every good team still needs those guys.

We got too many, not just some.

We really don’t. I think you have unrealistic expectations of what a prospect base looks like.
