Ever since Marvin Bagley flopped so so badly I‘m cautious with guys like that. Boozer reminds me a bit of him from the few highlights I have seen. A lot of sneaky inside scoring but could be a bit longer / more athletic and he really needs the three for him to be consistently there at the NBA level to open up his game. But obviously very talented. I have him quite clearly below Peterson though.
Peterson looks like a sure bet. Could easily see him turn into the next Devin Booker or Bradley Beal.
I just watched the Avdalas clip. Madness. He moves so much like Luka and looks extremely talented BUT he is a bit older and the level of competition makes it easier to outsmart a bunch of college lids. Very intrigued by him though. He will rise to the lottery quickly Imo but I could see him stay outside the top 10. The insane part about Luka was that he played like that while he was facing pros and being 16/17/18 himself. But yeah still super impressed by Avdalas.
Trading AD to the Bulls for the CHI 1st and POR 1st would be nuts. Both potential lottery picks.
Super early pipedream:
Trade AD for CHI & POR 2026 1sts
DAL 1st Peterson
CHI 1st Avdalas
POR 1st Steinbach
Irving | Avdalas
Peterson | Christie
Flagg | Marshall
PJWash | Steinbach
Lively | Gafford
Steinbach will probably be more of a C than a Pf in the NBA but I think hes playable there.
I REALLY hope they decide to trade AD for draft capital and tank hard. By next season you don’t have a different choice than trying to compete but for this year they need to win the race to the bottom or at least try it.
With Flagg already being here, that one xxxxx gone and the poor start they hold all the cards now for a quick turnaround. Maybe not in terms of immediate succes but in terms of picking up pieces that help you in the future. Flagg might be able to turn this franchise around by himself but adding 2-3 more young studs sure would make his life easier.
Also with that type of core you can open up plenty of caproom over the years to keep maneuvring.
