I think there is a current trend where players are who score regularly and efficiently within the context of an offense are undersold. I think Keegan Murry will be an example and I think Obi Toppin is one. I also think "superpowers" is another valuable way to access young players. What is there super power and can they build around it. Obi dunked the ball 5 times a game in college. Getting to the rim and finishing is his super power. Grimes super power is the beautiful stroke. Q's is is his bag. All of these kids have some auxiliary skill that they use in addition to there super power. Personally, I like the Toppin base. Its going to get him a lot shots that he is going to make at very high % and this means if the auxiliary skills are decent (35% from 3 maybe a little post turnaround an offensive rebound etc) you will always have very good production. Grimes super power makes driving much easier but I can't see him being as consistent with his super power as Obi (3s comes and go a little more). Q's super power is the most erratic and probably has the greatest highs. he has to hit hard shots but when he does he can totally dominate a game. Anyway felt like sharing. Thanks for the content as always

I kept hearing that about Durant a few years ago too . . . .it is also possible that the Knicks will consider the chase ended. As much as I love Mitchell's game and his persona, I don't believe he is worth "a package of historic proportions."
