^^^^Ding. Ding. Ding. 1000% Correct.
A smart coach once said, "Potential just means you're not good enough yet." Playing on potential is like living on air: It's essential, but if thats all you have, you're eventually going to starve.

Winslow will not start over Harris in his rookie season.
Biyombo will NOT be "cheap".
I agree with poster above that this team struggles a lot to score, even with a good catch.

He will EASILY get 8+ mil in the open market.

I'd rather ride with Dedmon and pay him next to nothing for another year and play out his restricted free agency next offseason.

Strongly agree.
Especially if we decide to draft WCS

I can guarantee that the Biyombo option would be off the table if we draft WCS.

Re: THE Aaron Gordon thread
Draft a wing player,winslow,hezonja,johnson,oubre.No need for wcs,sign biyombo ,the guy rebounds and blocks,given playing time he can really contribute,he is only 22 and has a high ceiling,biyombo and dedmon off the bench would be huge

He can block shots and protect the rim without fouling, so on the right team you would think he could start. Not sure that's our team though since his offense is like dedmon's and supposedly he never passes. He's only 22 though (feels like he's been in the league forever). I find it strange Charlotte never started him with Big Al though.
This is the only reason to get BB...

I'd rather start him than dedmon, but to be honest I'd rather draft WCS than sign BB.

Re: THE Aaron Gordon thread
I like WCS over him due to his versatility on D
The future is bright

Re: THE Aaron Gordon thread
I really want to see Gordon flourish as a Point Forward but its kind of redundant with Elfrid on the team
