I think it has something to do with our scheme, too (not entirely). When Z or Tomi shoot the three, they are supposed to go back defend. Also, our threes can generate long rebounds, which might go to guards more easily.
To me, unless I heard it wrong, the writing is on the wall. If Pettigrew worries about competing minutes with QC, why would he want to compete with 3, 4 guys who are as good as QC and older?
Even with OO, we are not known in developing traditional bigs. Morez didn't help our case. I really hope we can boost Big Z's stock to a late 1st rounder. I think he plays in NBA if he proves he can shoot.
He is not and that's the nice thing. It also tells you Brad sends guards/wings to NBA. If Vaaks were with us last year, he would have likely already been in NBA. He can only be better than KJ IMO and KJ is not bad at all.
Dave is honestly like a broke man's Luka with better defense to me. He can probably play in NBA but his placement depends a lot on how he plays this year. I think he can be a 1st rounder if he scores reliably in the paint and shoots three better.
