Ni**as Still Weird - Me
Killian is a 6-5 lead-guard creator, so it doesn't make much sense to use him as a reference point to draw parallels between how he and Avidija rate as prospects, particularly as this concerns the Warriors, since guard creators are not high up on their priority list, whereas versatile, shooting wings are (someone like Avdija can moonlight as a stretch-4 and give the Warriors the necessary spacing, considering that Draymond is technically their most capable shooting big man and his shot has fallen off a cliff).
There's no exact science to scouting, and any standard scaling of how players project to be can't be used in evidence to how a player will turn out. The only thing that you can work on, is what makes the most sense for the direction your team is headed in, and hope for the best. I simply don't see how drafting Wiseman makes sense for the Warriors given their circumstances, regardless of how he rates as a standalone entity.
Drafting a versatile wing makes the most sense. Whether that be Avdija, Okoro, Vassell, Williams etc. Or whether that may be using that trade to bring in an already established wing or big man. Using the draft pick on a raw big man (who can only play the 5), who can't shoot, makes the least amount of sense.
You call this going in-depth?
I call this throwing out a bunch of vague box score numbers that completely disregard relevant context. Nothing here is reflective of what kind of a player Wiseman projects to be. The landscape has changed from when Howard and KG first entered the league, where the value of the big man is now predicated on one's ability to space the floor and defend in space; just because Wiseman put up some #s through a sheer athletic/size advantage in HS doesn't mean that's going to be the translation for him at the NBA-level, especially as a fit for this Warriors squad in the immediate future.
And look, I'm not even counting him out as an option, because his upside is evident (in a perfect world of a rebuild, he'd be at the top of the list), I just have serious doubts over how he can contribute to winning for this squad in the now.
You still at it breh? I ain't reading this shyt.... you got it.
you mean our 1st i hope and not the T wolves pick that they owe us right?
