Pels went from having a surplus of 2s last season to Hart being our best guard. Bledsoe is one of the worst players in the league, Lonzo is good as gone, and Kira/NAW are getting better but still raw. We'll need two new starters next season for this team to get anywhere.

Agreed. I want a vocal guard. A competitor who is aggressive. I hope we can get one in the draft with Cade, Suggs or Mitchell.

We'd be playoffs hunt (like top 10 seed IMHO) with Jrue.

But we'd also have to pay him 5/200

Agree but this will be tough for Griff to pull off given the financial situation he’s screwed this team with after the Jrue trade. He might have to cash in on that “war chest” of shitty first round picks he’s collected.

I honestly don't agree. I think that NAW is ready.

I was going to say the same thing. He had really turned a corner before he got hurt. I still think he may fit better as instant offense off the bench, but I would love for him to get some work with Vinson and come into next year raining threes. He's much more aggressive at getting downhill than Bledsoe or Ball, while also a capable deep threat.

His confidence is completely different starting vs coming off the bench. NAW should start as soon as they can start him. They can still stagger his minutes to allow him to play with the bench as well. I think we have enough data to come to the conclusion that NAW is at his best when he starts.

Kira is the shite.

He does some things at a vet level.

I love how he can finish with both hands

Yea but he’s 160 lb, has middle of the pack shot, and plays scrappy but not spectacular defense. Really like him but he’s a bench spark, not a starting guard on a contender. Definitely hoping to be proven wrong.

still way too early to say one way or another.

He looks like he at the very least can be a 6th man caliber player, but those things you state: shot and weight take time for some guys to build.

I'd say in year 3 we'll know for sure if he can ever be that guy

He is small but he is so quick and can finish in the lane.


Of course he has to work on his shot but that's to be expected

NAW was doing really well before he got hurt and looked like a legit NBA player/starter.

Kira still to early but I really like what I have seen from him so far.

Hopefully we get to see some Didi before the season is over.

it's going to require pels to hit on 1 to fourth pick.

Mitchell has been noticed.
hes not going to be there at 10 to 14.
