Message: [QUOTE="Walker11, post: 2263983, member: 380"] I don't really understand locking the other thread so I guess we move the convo to here. Another very, very good game for Ball, and he was actually efficient, before leaving with a minor injury. I expect him and Smith Jr. to be the front runners for ROY. Kyle Kuzma has been extremely impressive but I am having a difficult time processing him because of how well Lonzo sets him up (Kuzma was one of the random late Spring 3* players that appeared on our radar after presumably missing out on top options).The full court passes are reminiscent of K Love, albeit with a different style. Guys like Ingram and Randle are going to be adding an additional 6 points to their per game average because of the throw ahead. This one was so easy to see, wasn't it? Even in the pre-draft threads, Bell was the runaway answer for best sleeper. I cannot understand how he fell, and to fall to the Dubs out of all teams. The Bulls FO should be ashamed for selling this pick to save a few million bucks. And FWIW, I think Crawford is still a solid pick-up off the bench, and it did seem like top teams had interest, but he would have likely been looking at the minimum and/or playing a much lesser role, especially with the Warriors. He is good as a microwave type player off the bench, even at his advanced age. If he has it that night, let him rip, if not, keep 'em on the bench. He is also possibly my favorite player in the League to watch when "on" and has my #1 sleeper hoops shoe so I am biased. The efficiency isn't great in a vacuum, but is actually fine when you consider the efficiency of putrid 2nd units. Creating good looks is a skill and one that Crawford has. I am also probably somewhere in the middle of Niels and Warrior on the Wiggins talk. Wiggins is actually not liked by the NBA head community. I don't think he is going to be future top 15 player in the NBA. He is one of those guys who does not seem to play with even half of his athleticism. He is not creating for others and is not impacting the game, besides scoring. I don't really see him making a huge jump in his career as a playmaker - it is not in his DNA, IMO, but he has made a lot of strides offensively last season, especially as the ball handler on PNR's. His value is going to come down to defense. He has all the tools in the world and if he can become a plus defender, he is going to be a very, very valuable player. Think of how valuable wings are who can do nothing but play D and shoot corner 3's. His defensive awareness has a long, long way to go so we shall see. [/QUOTE]
