At least we didn't pass on him at #16 and have him go #17.

That seems like bull because they had the 16th pick and didn't take him there... if they thought he was too good to still be there and he feel way below where he should have gone, they would have taken him 16th or would have been stupid to pass on him at #16.



Thats called gaslighting, or journalism, which ever you prefer.

Stewart was picked, we are told, because Weaver worked with Stewart's coach and knew he had incredible talent, etc. I was hoping Pistons chose Nesmith, but he went before Stewart and Celtics won't even play him,

If Bey was supposed to go top #15 lets say, then why not pick him at 16?

17 was Thunder taking Pokemon guy
18 is Mavs with Josh Green
19 is Pistons

Were the Thunder going to take Stewart, probably not. Poku has a way higher ceiling if he gains a bunch of weight. They are a high ceiling, waiting 2 more years team.

Mavs need wings and shooting. A shorter center was not a target. So who were the Pistons trying to "jump" in front of, they had to take Stewart before Bey.

Hey, I'm happy the Pistons had one of their tickets hit already. Bey is awesome and should play 20+ minutes, at the very least. But I dont believe the gaslighting that the Pistons were super high on him, knew he was great, etc, because its a bunch of "journalism", "good story" BS.

I'm under the impression Weaver had tunnel-vision on Stewart at #16. All Casey said was that they were surprised he was still there at #19, so they grabbed him. Basically the same thing SVG did with with Ellenson, but opposite results. They may have been surprised he was there at 16, too, but he wasn't their guy at 16. They got lucky.

Yeah why would they take the gamble of leaving him there for Dallas right in front of us if they wanted him that bad? They got lucky Mavs didnt take him honestly

Early days but the returns on the Bey trade look promising:

Saddiq Bey (1st season, age 21): 23 MPG, 10.4 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 0.9 APG, 38% FG, 46% 3P, 12.1 PER
Luke Kennard (4th season, age 24): 23 MPG, 8.5 PPG, 3.0 RPG, 1.7 APG, 47% FG, 47% 3P, 9.8 PER

Not to mention the massive upgrade defensively.

Look I liked Kennard as much as the next guy, but he is a luxury item on a high end team, not a rebuilding piece, or starting SG. I believe Bey is a starter from what I've seen thus far.

Wierdly, I thought he would struggle getting his shot off in the NBA with such a low release but so far, he's a damn dead eye shooter. Unreal so far.

not saying Bey won't be a better, more impactful player, but lets not act like those would be Kennard's stats if he was playing on this team.

Bey does have a strange release its kind of similar to how Haliburton also has a strange lower release. Both of them are shooting well as rookies in the NBA. Bey's shot does look very smooth and consistent its just got a strange he almost holds it right in front of his face as he is setting up the shot instead of up above his head.

Whats more strange about it, is that as far as I know he hasn't been blocked, or had it swiped during release yet. Perhaps it's not as low as it seems on TV?

It really is unorthodox, but if he's going to shoot these percentages, he can shoot it however he wants.

Can't really predict Kennard's stats on this team because he's not. Can only analyse the data in front of us.

Bey could be a Khris Middleton type player, if he keeps working on his game!

i really like bey but being player of the week is a biiit of a stretch. he averaged 18/6/2 lol.

i'm really glad blake isn't playing anymore, there should be little reason bey doesn't get 30 MPG going forward. grant is now pushed to PF which opens up the starting SF spot for bey and bey gets the remaining PF minutes when grant isn't on the floor. we're very thin at PF since those two guys are the only natural fits at the position so really bey could be looking at minutes in the 32-35 range.

and for the tobias comparison, i'm not sure it's the best fit. bey's game reminds me more of an old paul pierce for some reason.

After that 30 pt explosion and along with following up with another good game, it'd be criminal to not continue to play him big minutes even with the race to the bottom being in effect

It's always better to let a rookie hit his rookie wall and then develop him slower if and when that comes. So I hope that's the play they go for here

Fixed. I'd say it looks great.

It was the 69% on high volume 3's that got him the player of week honor. Don't read too much into it.

The issue has never been Bey for Kennard, is the 4 2nds we added for the swap.

He reminds me of a less fluid but stronger Khris Middleton which is awesome. Would be a dope small ball 4 in the right matchup

We'd need a completely different offensive system to take full advantage of that kind of line up
