Jalen can't shoot 3s and he can't finish in the paint. He was given 4 years. We know what he is. Reed is still a mystery.
But they would long for a replacement level player....
Reed has played how many minutes with Durant? How many?
It's pretty sad to see how the jalen bois have fallen... Comparing Jalen to a 19 year old who played like 200 minutes.... You know, if the...
He has played about the minute as Jalen Green in the NBA just in calendar year 2021. How about we see how he does off the bench before saying...
"My ONLY problem with Reed is he does not have one skill that stands out!" He led the nation in 3pt shooting. Sounds like you're done.
"He doesnt even have that lol, dudes a backup pg or mid tier starter at the very best." Yes, like Castle.... backup or midtoer starter. Maybe...
Ben Simmons? You going with Ben Simmons? Roughly double the assists and rebounds? Significantly higher efg%? Primary ball handler? I'm not sure...
I would settle for 4 time allstar and 4 top 10 MVP finishes. Price was smaller and a better passer. He also wasn't the defender at same age. Reed...
If Reed shoots 45% from 3 and isn't awful defensively he may be the best player in that draft. Looks like a weak draft though.
If you know how that works out now, so would they and not do that.
Who is that?
I'm not seeing anything special yet... looks like poor man's Markkanen with worse rebounding...
Well, I think it's fair given similar skill set and body type. No different than comparison of any other young player to a star.
The spurs #2 and #3 lineup last year were with Castle but swapping Victor with Biyombo. They go from +8 to -6.6 Castle is maybe 3rd or 4th best...
Compare Castle to Edgcome so far... Similar draft position, age, and role. Edgecombe so far superior in every way.
I don't see it. He can't shoot. There are tons of wings who play defense and can do 50% from 2. Reed has about half a season of playing time...
I'm not sure how you can compare given the competition and defense faced. As Freshman, Reed was better. Doesn't mean the finished product will be.
That's ridiculous. Castle is tracking as a role player so far. Teams don't just go BPA. Needs definitely play a role. You don't draft players...
No need to panic yet. Let's see how the young guys adapt.
