This is true I love that he's showing he can shoot to 20ft. That's huge in today's game as well as his soft touch and soft hands
He still has ways to go physically, but you have to be happy with the results thus far. And he's only 19 so you can't really hold that against him all that much.
I still see him as being a bigger Koufos with a better post game and jump shot. That's a valuable player to any team.
I'm beginning to like our draft more and more as I continue to get more exposure to the 3 rookies, and that's not even considering Bogdanovic yet!
Part of me just wants us to not spend any big or long term money on PFs/Cs in FA (Millsap) and just have Labissiere, Cauley-Stein, Papagiannis, & Cousins be the frontcourt of the future. Just really work on developing those guys around Cousins and you have an extremely cost effective big man rotation around Cousins.
Same goes for SG. We have Temple, Bogdanovic, & Richardson already. Don't spend any big money on SGs and focus on developing Bogdanovic & Richardson to be cost effective solutions.
Trade Gay for Payne, keep our 1st this year, and draft a guy like Isaac/Tatum.
PG - Collison / Payne
SG - Bogdanovic / Richardson
SF - Temple / Isaac / Barnes
PF - Labissiere / Cauley-Stein
C - Cousins / Papagiannis
That team has good young assets that can grow around Cousins (not to mention we'd probably have a lot of cap space to sign a very good player (if we can convince him to come).
