We traded for an elite offensive player in Brandon Ingram and are developing Gradey Dick and Walter.
We have a good mix of D and O right now.
IF CMB works out, we are talking about having a top 3 defense in the league.
I'm just glad we went D instead of O. I would've hated Queen as our pick.
Ingram is not an elite offensive player. His career TS% is below league average.
CMB effectively locks us into a middling offense. Our 3pt shooting is going to be near bottom of the league. Also, how many rookies actually have a positive impact defensively? The numbers are incredibly low.
Who cares about next year. Anyone that thought the 9th pick would impact winning next year is an idiot.
This is a developmental pick. An elite defensive player and solid offensive player who needs to rebuild his outside shot, but does everything else well.
Disagree about Ingram, TS isn't the be all end all.
It is the 9th freaking pick. Getting a starter quality player is a win. Everyone thinking we getting a star there is overly optimistic. And I'm saying that as someone who thinks CMB can be a star
Probably has one of the higher floors, gonna be hard for him to bust even if he can't shoot. He should be passable offensively while being really good defensively and at least be a rotation guy.
