Too bad we don't get to know that before hand. My question is, how is the shot coming along? It took DFS years to build that shot. If it takes years for JG, would he be worth the wait?

Okay, I like the DFS comparison. Let’s say in 4 years Green has a quality shot(I think he has a quality shot at having a quality shot) and his defense is on par with DFS(I think given his frame and athleticism this is a likely scenario) But it’s the intangibles that really set DFS apart. Let’s say he never reaches the level of intangibles that DFS brings, but he turns out to be a hard worker and gets better and better.

There is one big difference between DFS and Green. Green was a 1st round pick and for that reason, he should have a much higher ceiling. In theory at least. He does have an offensive repertoire that may or may not be useful beyond a role player, but potential is there.

Markannen is sort of the bigger unknown to me. He was a top 10 pick so in theory should have an even higher ceiling. And thus far, in his time in the nba he’s shown to be a productive player and a marksmen. Yet, we are sort of buying low on him. And maybe he has some level of star potential still.

So after getting this far I see why GM’s get paid the big bucks! I have no idea which way to go. Hoping Nico-Finley have a better clue!
