In all seriousness if Winslow (5th year) and Bam (3rd year) cannot excel with a backcourt of Chris Paul and Jimmy Butler, that would be a huge indication they are not star materials.

Justise likely isn't star material. I'm happy if he's a very solid starter on a great contract. And ironically, I think his only chance to be a star is if he gets to continue developing as a PG.

Bam is 21. I do think he has some star potential, but you can't expect that in his 3rd year, and first as a starter.

I simply think it's a very poor bet to take on Chris Paul in the hopes that our young guys are ready to produce at the level needed to make this team truly relevant this year.

We have a 19, 21, and 23 year old whose progression timelines just do not match up with a rapidly declining CP. As they slowly get better, he will quickly get worse.

If that third year of a 37 year old CP didn't eliminate us from 2021 free agency I might be on board. But it does.

So unless we get a significant return for taking that albatross contract we should just move on from the idea of adding him.

What are the predicted numbers in relation to Bam's Star status/potential?

What are the predicted numbers in relation to Bam's Star status/potential?

Bam was per36 last year of (23.3 mins played):
13.7 ppg, 11.2 rpg, 3.5 apg, 1.3 spg, 1.2 bpg

Post All-star it was a per36 of (26 mins played):
15.5 ppg, 11.9 rpg, 3.9 apg, 1.5 spg, 1.2 bpg

As a starter it was a per36 of (28.2 mins played):
15.1 ppg, 11.6 rpg, 4.0 apg, 1.6 spg, 1.4 bpg

I think with Whiteside gone, his minutes will creep towards 36, he was seeing 28 plus as a starter previously and Whiteside was still getting 20 or so. Leonard won't see that many. Maybe 32-33 is reasonable for Bam. Given he should improve, I expect numbers that look like his per36 to happen over 33 or so mins.

So at least 15 ppg, 11 rpg, 3.5-4 apg and maybe 1.5 spg and 1.5 bpg. I expect he might be given more looks, so maybe the assists come down a little and the scoring up, especially with a couple new guys that seem to have a better feel for lobs could look more like 18 ppg, 11 rpg, 3 apg and maybe 1.5 spg and 1.5 bpg

Those numbers seem amazing which makes me feel like a homer but they just aren't that much different to his production last year extrapolated across mins

With an increase in lobs, 18/11/3/2/2, hmnn. I see it

I'd love him to get to 2 blocks and 2 steals. That's Kirilenko/Marion/G Wallace type havoc. Doesn't seem like a crazy shotblocker but does have the athleticism and size. I suppose Dwight Howard started off pretty meh on shotblocking his first couple before leading the league for a while. They have some similarities

There's a big difference between being a 1.5/1.5 guy and a 2/2. And considering the league leaders at center play around 33 mpg, he won't be playing 36.

So based on his per36 numbers, I don't see him averaging a full 3 combined steals and blocks (still very close to it). But that's not a knock. Even Draymond Green has only done that once in his career.

I was rounding from 1.5 to 2. Don't think he'll be playing 36 mins either. Not completely convinced he will get to similar impact as Gobert/Capela. but if that's what we mean by 'star' or 'All-star' I could see him having similar numbers to them(16/11) with 33+ mins(Don't think he's the same kind of rebounder/rim-protector as those two tho)

Just wanted to make sure we weren't talking about the Embiid/Jokic level of star
