Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

I feel like if you have 4 or 5 guys on the floor that can handle the ball solidly and can pass and create, it alleviates the need of that top tier primary ball handler. The more players on the court with zero ball handling or creation, the more a top tier ball handler or two is necessary. If the aim is to end up replacing guys on the roster that cannot create with equivalent players that can, then it starts to make more sense. Think that applies to the bigs as well as the guards. The more I think about it, the more I kind of wonder if Yaxel wasn't the right pick despite his age.

If there is one thing I am confident of given the inside info with May, its that they drafted the right Michigan guy.
