Talent wise we fricking match up at full strength


Shai is maybe the MVP and top 5 player. Zion before he got hurt was playing amazing but he still wasn’t at that level.

I can agree the other guys are a bit comparable, but Chet and Jalen are pretty young and might have a bigger ceiling than some of the current guys we have.

I wonder what the o/u on SGA free throws should be.

Do you watch games or just look at stats? SGA isn’t a top 10 player. He is a foul hunter that the NBA has chosen to get superstar calls without actually earning it. He game is predicated on his foul hunting. If he isn’t getting calls and not allowed to carry blatantly like the last time we played then he is half the player

I never said he wasn’t good. I’m saying he isn’t top 10 and would be much lower without his unearned superstar call. For example Herb has been a top 3 perimeter defender for 3 years now and still doesn’t have the respect of even Pat Bev. Imagine how effective Herb would be if they relaxed on the whistle so he never is in foul trouble and he could go harder without fear of a cheap call. Same principle goes for SGA but in reverse. Btw Luka Giannis Jokic Embiid Curry are easily better and I would argue Durant Booker LeBron AE and possibly Zion and Tatum are better which puts him at 10-12 imo
