    Jrue, a role player? He’s an All Star and an elite All NBA defender. When it comes to winning a title, Jrue is probably better than Dame.

    Ah okay. You confused me with the double Tyrese's as well :lol:

    I like Brunson. He's 26 though. I'm not sure if I'd build around him. That's a little on the older side. I'd put him on the same tier as Fox and Murray. They're really good players but I think I'd want them as a #2 option on a title team.

    I think part of what makes CP3… CP3 is the douchey-ness.

    I'm not sure if I believe the rumors that Cleveland offered him up for Tobias Harris.

    Yeah..... I'd just like to see Scoot continue to display the kind of crafty and heady play that Paul has. I'd love to see him be as good a defender as CP3.

    Amare Scoot and Sharpe would’ve been fun

    I don’t know any big in the league actually plays like Amare now though.

    Who comps like Amare?

    Nobody is as good but these guys have similar stregths:

    John Collins.
    Aaron Gordon.
    Banchero.
    Bam.
    Ayton is surprisingly efficient in finishing P&Rs.
    Sabonis.
    Okongwu?
    Zion?

    I bought this last year - it's a Teeter Freestep, recumbent cross trainer.
    Easy on the knees and provides similar health benefits as walking. It's great on rainy
    days when you don't want to go outside.

    I've never been a big John Collins fan. He doesn't rebound.

    Not saying much but he's better than JG.

    He averaged 10/game over his 2nd/3rd seasons. His rebounding only decreased after ATL acquired Capela.

    What?
    He's a good rebounder for a PF.

    Here is a comparison of several PF using career DRB% to equalize things:

    Tobias Harris: 18.1%
    Porzingis: 21.5%
    Siakam: 18.5%
    Ben Simmons: 19.5%
    Randle: 25.5%
    Giannis: 25.4%
    Jaren Jackson JR: 16.2%
    Durant: 18.7%
    LeBron: 18.8%
    Markkanen: 21.0%
    Arron Gordon: 17.6%
    Jerami Grant: 13.0%
    John Collins: 21.6%

    So a couple of things to notice.
    1) Randle and Giannis are the best out this list, by a good margin.
    2) John Collins is better or on par with all the other PF in this list. He's a good rebounder...
    3) One player stands out like a sore thumb here. Unfortunately that player is currently on the Blazers.

    An evolution of NBA culture that I’ve loved is the fact that the old crop of NBA stars are so willing to help the new generation. I saw a video of PG telling Miller on his podcast that Miller has full access to him and PG is excited to be apart of Miller’s growth.

    Scoot is already working out with Curry before he even had his first game. It really is amazing.

    Scoot has all the athleticism to be a DRose/Westbrook kind of player, but it benefits him to play like Curry/Dame to prolong his longevity. Curry has had Finals series where he’s averaged close to 10rpg. With Scoot, it’s all going to come down to mentality.
