@southsil4lil

I would start out like this and it’s controversial

Trae
Tre
George
AD
Sarr

Then start AJ after you move AD

I get it and that makes more sense from an effective lineup perspective......but you know this can't happen

His ego is too inflated. He's not going for that. The more keefe keeps aj happy the longer he stays employed.

In the starting lineup?

Trick question?

Then you gotta have Sarr off the bench and tell AD stfu and play C until they can move him

No man

The crux of this entire convo is having enough shooting to provide adequate enough spacing while maintaining a semblance of perimeter defense hence why south had George at SG and AJ isn’t a projected good shooter as a rookie and he is a lock for the lineup

 

[Sky Davis]

If the wizards drafted DP or didn’t have Trae this would not be a thing

Its not even about his ego its just a dumb way to prioritize your team but thats why all of this going to be interesting as far as the pecking order and who feels like its their team. Im the number one pick in the draft but you want me to come off the bench to make a better situation for Trae Young? Ok

Sarr the second pick from 2024 who is trying to establish himself and get paid next summer

This isn't a clean and seamless situation that people think it is

We'll see what happens in October.

I agree but I swear yall were trying to kick the wizards back in a few days ago when that was rumored to be a potential thought process.

If Im Peterson I think Utah is actually a way better fit and situation

wait kick the wizards back in for what?

 

[Sky Davis]

Yeah both players went to good places for them and I don’t think anything needed to be different but yes Peterson is better served in Utah atleast this year due to the sheer number of guards and coaching in Washington

Nvm it was @A.F.R.I.C.A

Does defenses having to respect Trae counts for anything?

It does to a certain extent but he’s playing with Sarr/AD/AJ

It’s not enough shooting

 

[Sky Davis]

It’s not enough shooting

Trae 35% three
George 34% three
AJ Dybansta 33% three
AD 29% three
Sarr 31% three

Nori deserves better than this
