Was just kinda looking around at some various young guys and noting their stats (Pts, Reb, Ast, and Stocks are per 100 possessions). Sorry the spacing gets ruined when posted. Hit "quote" and I think you can see it spaced out.

I like the idea of trying to find a way to get John Collins and OG if the opportunity presents itself. My hope is that Atlanta balks at a contract extension in the range Collins wants and so we can either trade for him, offer him a very large contract next offseason and hope Atlanta doesn't match, or aim for a S&T and send Atlanta a 1st or something. OG will be harder to get. If he ends up in part of a trade package then maybe we can find a way to insert ourselves and snag him. Otherwise we can try to offer him a very large deal next offseason and hope Toronto doesn't match (though I think they will) or maybe see if they have interest in a S&T which seems unlikely unless they feel they can't afford him for whatever reason.
Ja/Tyus
Winslow?/Melton
OG/Brooks
Collins/Clarke
JJJ/JV
That's a heck of a team. Our bench would arguably be the best in the league. Collins can help with JJJ's rebounding problem. JJJ provides the rim protection while OG looks down the best opposing wing. Winslow can defend 1-4. Ja and Collins are not total liabilities on defense but also aren't studs. I think the others can cover for them though. OG, Collins, and JJJ can light it up from deep with Ja setting them up. Winslow hopefully finds his shot and provides secondary playmaking. I know we probably have to include at least one of those players in a S&T due to cap constraints and that team would get expensive when Ja and JJJ need extensions, but I think we could have a real shot at contending with that lineup.
