re: Pelicans Draft Summary & Kira Lewis Bio in OP

quote:

Wendell Carter Jr is not the top 4 pick you think he is. He kinda sucks. He's big and has a huge wingspan, but doesn't know how to use it, and he's not athletic. He can't shoot either, and isn't a great defender. He's basically Vernon Carey Jr, who took his place at Duke, and who is projected to go anywhere from 20-50.

We are going to have to agree to disagree on this, because I strongly disagree . He's only played 1 season worth of games. He's pretty tremendous on defense and has done excellent as a pick and roll defender despite being on a team where only he and Dunn knew the defensive side of the floor existed. He's a good passer on the roll and was up there below Doncic in regards to game IQ going into his draft class. I though the Horford comparisons were spot on for him and I think he would blossom in Golden State.
