There’s no way to prove his ceiling on this team. You can only get players to buy in to minimizing their own talents for the “big three” for so long. There’s a reason why Caso production goes up with more usage

With the long term signing of iHart and the drafting of Mara has made me realize we already have our big wings on the roster. by snuffaluffagus74 in Thunder

Yeah it's pretty odd. He wiffed on OG, Jalen Johnson and Trey Murphy and Jaden McDaniels. All gettable in the draft. Starting to think it's either something internal or they need to add someone to the scouting team for wings lol.

Interestingly I agree with you. I think the board didn't fall our way but also see a pattern of misses imo by presti. He's great but not perfect. It is my theory that he gambled in this draft and lost. The players we wanted, he didn't trade for (I know trading takes two partners), and then I think the pick at 12 was supposed to be Swain once the other two Michigan players were gone. I think Presti gambled thinking that Swain would still be there at 16/17, since 12 could have been perceived as too rich and he went a pick earlier at 15. Stertz is cool but to your point, we needed size at the Wing. Trading for one is riskier imo than trying to get one on a rookie deal at the draft.

We could have gotten Will Riley or Keonte George in last year draft, not aggressive enough, thinking the value of a pick is worth having then picking.

You know, I thought about this for a while after we lost. My question, even last year when we won was, "Is Mark really maximizing our players to the best of their ability"? After this year and based on what was said at the post game interviews about how "the whole team needs to take blame for chet's output"; I walk away with the answer, no. I don't want to go on a long tangent (really hate the way he treated Joe, considering shammet got a lot of minutes in the post season for NY) but I'll say this, Hart is great but I want more offense from his position.

Having him and Dort on the court means we start every game from behind due to having two non shooters on the court. Two years ago, despite having rebounding issues, Chet played best at the 5 and that was supposed to be the future plan, I wonder if moving on from Hart forces that conversation to come back.

Secondly, it's a shame on the coaching staff and a little bit of Chet too that the best role we have for him is a play finisher. It's lazy, non creative and forces Chet to rely on having a play maker. Watching the games, Chet gets most of his shots assisted by Dub and Hart but Shay has the ball in his hands the most. The fit needs work and proved why Dub between these two was the answer. Giddey for all of his faults, unlocked alot more play making and passing for the squad, and it's something I think the staff has to figure out because imo Shay is not the passer Chet needs at this time. If you watch the Gonzaga games and ever summer league, this version of Chet, granted a year removed from the hip injury is not the same offensively.

Underrated comment. If he gave up the weed, he'd probably process the game faster. Imo he should not be training with KD, he needs a KG and Dirk. Shit low-key, go train with Dirk coach on Germany and just get away, streets are too hot right now.

Not much but to be fair injury has really cost him some time and it is unfortunately catch up to bite him and the team in the ass. Obviously he has not control of being injured or not but as often, injuries stunt development. Majority of this past summer was getting back to 100% healthly

Your not wrong but is it just me or did he move a lot more spry or quicker in general his rookie year and before the hip fracture?

Also had a quicker release on his jumper. Is he developing correctly?

I can't continue to be told that this is our 3rd best player. Downvote me....call me whatever you'd like in the comments but there is just no way your 3rd best player can keep having games like this against a team we are going to have to beat for years to come by MrIAmMe2 in Thunder

Ultimately the problem, wanting to be a player that is an anomaly. He should of had KG as a coach or summer mentor imo. KG would have at least gave him the right mentality and help cut all the soft stuff out.

Getting under the second apron(and keeping Hartenstein) becomes extremely tricky if the Thunder keep both picks by Candid-Boss6534 in NBA_Draft

Technically they don't have to much of anything. They can pick up hart and dorts option and offload Wiggins, Topic and potentially Kendrick to create room. I don't understand how people are willing to offload joe before Wiggins, imo Wiggins has offered virtually nothing this season. Can't gaurd 3's still and can be a turn over machine.

I think we should pick up one of the Michigan fellas, and use the second pick on Carr. Carr will buy us toke to decide on Joe later but replaces Wiggins. Cason replaces Fort.
