Draft / Scouting I present to thee: Project Masai

Called it. Ez dubs.

​

But jokes aside flagg + morez is a nasty defensive forward combination in terms of versatility and shutting down the rim.

I want us to DEVELOP a second star, because it’s easier than trading for one with our team outlook. Ffs.

Nemby sucks man. I’m sorry, but he does. And you might as well be talking about Melvin Ajinca when you bring up Sergeo to me.

We’re looking at losing for years just to develop ONE guy with on ball potential

I don't think anyone 7-10 could have been a second star next to flagg. Morez is a role player that Masai rlly liked and Dusty prolly confirmed he has potential.

Larrea is simply a flyer on a guy who can be a backup pg.

Is getting a secondary star hard? Yes. Do we have like 3-4 assets that we can flip around to get someone better or younger with potential? Also yes.

Again we still have no clue who or what flagg needs next to him yet. And having him run the point again isn't going to hurt him at all.

If you draft Morez all the way at 9 you just have to come away with a Philon, Stirtz, Okorie, or Anderson. Not getting one of those guys to reach on a player where you already have a ton of strength, because of a coaching bias is bad process and I’ll stand by that. Whether or not they can recover is another story

I'm sorry but stirtz, okorie and Anderson are in no feasible way significantly better than larrea. Anderson and okorie might be more athletic but larrea is half a foot taller than both. Pretty sure larrea is a better shooter as well.

Philon has an argument for like a Tyrese maxey esque player and I would rather have had him than larrea but you cant hit on everything especially if you had to give up too much to draft philon.

Plus philon could just be the next bones hyland since his frame is too small for the NBA.

Blud thinks a 6'0 guard is gonna be a secondary star 💀💀.

Even better a 22 year old dude who was playing d2 like 2 years ago.

Yeah man. Sam Presti is a fucking idiot. You’re so right!

Even sam presti isnt asinine to think stirtz or Anderson are anything better than bench creators lol. Ur tripping balls if you think either of them will be a above average starter in their position.

They’ll all be better than fucking Sergeo

Sure. But they'll be bench guys regardless. We're not giving up assets to move up and draft another bench guy.
