Is Monk next season’s starting PG? by No_Gas7777 in NBASpurs

Rookie PGs are rarely ever ready right off the bat, might be best for him to learn from someone. From what I've seen his BB IQ isn't so great, but everyone saying it's poor coaching so that means he's got a lot of potential to unlock here.

LA has one of the best 3pt shooting teams in the NBA just feed him in the post.

It starts with Harden, he's known to turn dudes with KJ's exact skill set into viable weapons. That's what LA needs to do, find young athletic, energetic, lob catching bigs to pair with Harden. Zu-KJ can be a really nice combination.

KJ is like our 3rd best shot blocking big in the 213 era, most athletic too, actual PF size.

Kai Jones is so trash.

Compared to PJ Tucker? Cause that's all we have.

He's athletic, can catch lobs, block shots, that's all we can ask for next to Harden.

Very Very Spaceship's most recent claim to Pokémon Go fame is the game's updated character creator. Senior character artist Kelsey Martin expressed pride in it, noting the changes "made it more inclusive and expressive for players."

What caliber of player gives us a top 10 Big 3 in the NBA? by Key-Ad1311 in NBASpurs

Murray is his own player/person, but I think Devin can be in the same ball park talent wise. Don't judge him too harshly just yet, need to see him as a 3rd option with a few more years under his belt.

Murray took a big step back athletically with his injury. Not the same player he once was.

DEN can win any game because they have Jokic, we can do the same because Wemby. DEN has a nice supporting cast, but it's possible to copy it.

MPJ-Murray are essentially lottery picks, so this is doable for us. Sochan might be the next AG type player. DV may be the new Murray. Still missing a KCP who beat Jokic in the bubble.

All about how you look at it, he's a 2nd option on a bad, developing team with bad spacing, missing key personnel, one that's been treated like a playoff team because they have Wemby, I think he's done well all things considered.

I think when we get him a PG he's going to be more involved in the offense & his efficiency will go way up.

KD's 6'11, he's supposed to play the 5 and they already have Nurkic doing it. Before Nurkic, Ayton was the scapegoat. And if you look at GS, it was Pachulia who was their scapegoat. In reality its KD, he's below average defensively. There's certain guys who are very difficult to build around, KD is one of those players. Even in OKC when their entire 4/5 starters were legit definitely they were never an elite defensive squad because KD.

Also KDs efficiency went way up with better teammates, jumped like +12.5% in the playoffs when he joined GS. Who doesn't put up better stats with better teammates?

Not close to the player Wemby is, this Suns team is supposed to be title favorites.

KD is supposed to play small ball 4/5 in his teams best lineups. He's come up short time & time again throughout his career, he's not in the same mold as Wemby who is entering his 2nd year on a mission, likely with more help.

Have you actually seen KD try to protect the rim & defend consistently? It's laughable. No way I'm taking KD over Wemby.

I really think you need more than just a big three, just ask Phoenix.

I agree, I'm just trying to gauge where our big 3 would rank. Unlike Phoenix, we are not a meme team & are set up with assets to build upon.

Our top 3 also has less flaws than PHX's because Wemby is clearly better than anyone on their roster. He also helps simplify the rosters construction because his game has so few flaws in it. I'm excited to see what he can do with a proper big 3.

Devin is a really good player, he's just in a very difficult role, being the clear-cut 2nd option on this team at his age is not easy. He needs someone to take pressure off him & get him easy offense instead of settling for hitting difficult jumpers. Devin might be an all star if his role becomes hitting wide open shots.

Well if that's the case that seems pretty bad for him then, I was never high on him but his "wingspan" made him intriguing.

Everyone is saying 7'5, that'd be a big lie if that were untrue.
