re: I want Nikola Topic on this team

Topic is slightly smaller, less athletic, MUCH worse at defense and rebounding, and very possibly worse at shooting. Is Topic THAT much better at finishing and passing to make up for all that he lacks?

I love Dyson, but he’s not Topic. Topic is light years ahead of Dyson in terms of playmaking. Much better passer, much better finisher, better in the pick and roll, and while not an elite athlete, he has a very quick first step and can get to the rim. Topic is also still 18.

If Topic’s perimeter shot develops, he’ll be an amazing offensive engine. If Dyson’s perimeter shot develops, he’ll be an amazing 3&D.

Now I don’t think that he fits perfectly with Zion, but I’d take him 2-3 after Sarr and probably Shepherd.
