Yesterday, we signed two players that won't expect double-digit shot attempts, and that's exactly what we need.
He replaces Malik Beasley for the Pistons. I hope Caris Levert is their third option, like Beasley was, so you can see how he hurts a team.
I believe 11.6 shots are not that much when you are a good player and has the quality to create for yourself and others. I am not saying he is a star, but he is a great bench player who contributed perfectly to what the team needed.
Finding that in two players shows his capacity to contribute on the terms I just explained.
If we take Kennard and NAW, we have two players to do the work of one. Kennard is a ball dominant player who can play alongside a PG or as a PG himself. He is intelligent, but he cannot guard a guy who is strong or quick. LeVert has the tools to do so. Then we have NAW, who is build as a two, and has offered a tremendous outcome this past season, but he is not creative, not a guard.
Is it better to have to guys to play like 15/20 minutes each and pay 32 million when you can have LeVert and play less than 20, while you still have Krejci in a complementary role?
I am not against any of those guys. I like Kennard and NAW too. I just think the other option was better, LeVert was well adaptad and to me it is important to have players within the same group for long periods.
All in all, I love what our FO has done for the offseason. Tremendous task. Getting Porzingis, Newells, Kennard and NAW is amazing. Losing Nance is a pity. Good shooter from the PF/C position who can both substitute OO/Porzingis or JJ/Gueye/Newells.
