I just read that LeBron will miss the start of the season with Sciatica and Keegan will miss a month. McConnell will miss a month, but we already knew that.

I think he's going to be interesting to keep an eye on.

He's clearly a pure PG. But he's so tiny and hasn't shown any ability to shoot through summer league or preseason.

There was one guy I liked better in round 2 when we were picking, but I sure wouldn't have complained if we had drafted him.

Yep, still wish we could trade Miller for him.

I'd do that.

Now it makes sense that MIN (TC) prioritised TJ, Dillingham, Bones Hyland and Juzang during this offesason over Brogdon.

P.S. And big thanks for not bringing here Westbrook.

Yep, although this comparison is not quite ideal. Because Jaden signed last year. This year Jalen Johnson signed 150/5, Ingram signed 120/3, Murphy signed 112/4 (bargain?).

Probably.

Better, more consistent 3pt shooter.

Had a very good Playoffs last year - 11 PPG on 46/51/69 shooting (vs Juzang playing for a lottery team).

Most importantly, the Bucks were WAY better defensively with Green on the floor.

Opponents shot .519, with a 109.9 ORtg with Green on the floor, vs .543 and 117.1 with him on the bench.

It was even more pronounced in his 27 MPG in the Playoffs. Opponents shot .520, with a 113.8 ORtg with Green on the floor, vs .661 and 127.9 with him on the bench.
