The Buccaneer 74 Report post Posted September 27, 2019 5 hours ago, ?4thewin said: Why? He's a young, efficient, two-way player who can defend 3 positions and space the floor. If given a starting role it seems like he's at least a 15ppg guy. We have a 27 game playoff sample (excluding his rookie year) where he's a 17/5 guy on 48/38/69 shooting. And we have a few second round and ecf games where he's shown some ability to carry an offense. So even if he hits his low end projection and is just shooting guard version of Harrison Barnes, that still seems pretty valuable given a positional group that doesn't have very many two way guys with upside. Though if you're basing most of your opinion on how he defended Middleton I get it. He hasn't been able to figure him out. So virtually the same offensive upside (pointwise) as Evan, but with a much bigger defensive upside? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we're being conservative in his projection it's more Kelly Oubre with better shooting and positional versatility. Evan, buddy ball jokes aside, can create offense for others a bit. Brown hasn't really shown that in his game yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His feel for the game is poor (makes bad decisions a lot) and he can barely dribble. His efficiency isn't that great (middling 3PT% on low attempts, below average foul shooter). I'd rather just hope Fournier gets his %s back up in the short term than hitch our wagon to an expensive role player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd rather just hope Fournier gets his %s back up in the short term than hitch our wagon to an expensive role player. I dunno. He's alright. It's not like he gets a lot of turnovers. And he did have a full season plus playoffs hitting 39% of his threes. Had identical eFG% over the past 2 years combined as Ross had this year. I'm cool gambling on a guy with his profile. Because there's upside there but some flaws. Most importantly, it's impossible to find big shooting guards who play defense anymore. It's all 6'5 guys who would be a point guard if they had those skills but don't. Hypothetically he'd be the perfect fit with what our philosophy is both on the court and in the locker room. So I guess I'm a little more inclined to pay a steeper price for that fit (with scarcity in mind) vs ending up with solid players that don't really unlock the potential of this roster because they're susceptible to switches as single positional defenders.

If we could get him and still keep Fultz, Gordon, Isaac and Bamba I'd be stoked. If Fultz and Bamba both develop towards their potential, and the other 3 continue to improve, a Fultz - Brown - Isaac - Gordon - Bamba is an incredibly fun and athletic team. If Clifford was able to develop one of the best defenses in the league with Augustin, Fournier and Vuc, imagine what he'd do with that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
