I understand. Everyone is defending Butler but all I said was the dude is no where near NBA ready. I was specifically talking about how Plowden could bring more to our team now and actually looks NBA ready.

There isn’t any matchup at the 4 or 5 I would give him minutes against at his size. That’s all I’m saying. We saw how Jax struggled and he was already bigger. Being 7’1 and 190 (Chet) is already one thing and an issue. 7’1 and 175? Goodluck.

You are right, he is nowhere near ready. He is stictly a project. However, where would this team need Plowden? Unless we incurred a lot of injuries, Plowden would be in the GLeague. I think Butler has more "value" as a project and they want to secure him with the 2-way contract whereas Plowden at 24 has a better chance of being there later in the season in the G League if they ever needed him.

I hear you.

Though I'd argue the odds of either cracking this rotation right now are so slim that if the 2 are viewed as somewhat close, it may be best to take the more long term potential guy.
