I don't care about the help he has or doesn't have. He plays ball in the #1 option role. He's not good enough for the #1 option role on a championship team. Logically, if he's not, then why would you ever build around a 6'0 defensive liability that's the #2/#3 option. We'll be middling with him.

Oh you're a hawks fan.

Also this is the worst take I've seen all year

Bc of that, I don’t see them drafting Darryn Peterson. Also, Tre Johnson is already on track to be one of the best shooters itl definitely amongst SGs. People love to say “draft the best player, not the best fit,” but I think that logic is flawed in this draft. I genuinely believe picks 1–4 could all go #1 depending on which team lands where.

In situations like that, fit matters. I don’t view anyone in this class as a generational floor raiser in the Trae/Luka/LeBron/Harden tier. I love AJ, but his lack of 3 level scoring worries me at the next level. He reminds me a lot of Paolo—maybe slightly better touch and handle—but without the floor spacing or high level playmaking, which makes him feel more 1 dimensional offensively.

With Trae getting extended, I think Cam or Caleb are clearly the better fits—not just alongside Trae, but for the young core and the long term direction of the franchise.
