re: Zach Harper in The Athletic Grades Our Offseason - D+

His biggest gripe is that we basically swapped Lonzo for Graham and compares a lot of stats between them, but I don’t see know you can look at these stats and draw from it that it’s a huge downgrade to go from Ball to Graham:




ETA: to be clear I’m not saying that I think we upgraded the roster massively, but the fits are better and we should be better due to internal growth. The step down from Ball to Graham should be minimal, it’s not like we were a good defensive team with Lonzo on the roster last season anyway. As stated earlier in the thread, I think a better comparison is NAW with Lonzo and Graham with Bledsoe anyway.
