Sharpe/pick(s) for Dyson Daniels

Are there any elite short guards that have led their team to the finals? I really can’t think of any
Isaiah Thomas, AI and Steph were all the best players on their teams that went to the Finals. Arguably Stockton was the best on those Jazz teams. Those are the only guys I can think of. Steph's a pretty significant one... 6 Finals with 4 Championships. That being said a small guard being the best player on a conference champion is obviously really rare.
I was more talking about combo guards. But 1 player in the modern NBA is still proof how rare it is
The time for Dyson Daniels was 2022.
Such as?
Both Curry brothers were (are) essentially combo guards. The Warriors only really took off when Steph was off-ball more.
Why is that the standard? You think we're getting our franchise player at #11 in the first draft when NIL money really depleted the ranks?
yeah, it's almost like that Senior year last year didn't happen, which is why next year would have been his Senior year of eligibility Do you think Shaedon was developing his game when he was sidelined with labrum tears? It was a lost period of development. The poster's point in trying to degrade him was that he's so old now he lacks upside and then made a laughable comparison saying "do we really need another Kris Murray except stayed past his junior year?" Murray didn't go to college straight out of HS and instead played at a sports development academy for a year prior to enrolling at Iowa. When drafted after 3 more healthy but uninspiring years at Iowa, dude was over a year older then Cedric will be. His game in no way compares to Coward's. Only placeholding unathletic players without plus skills (like Murray for instance) are largely done developing in their early 20s. Players like Cedric with plus shooting, length and athleticism have the opportunity to level up maybe several times... I could list endless examples. Cedric's age falls between the ages of Scoot and Sharpe... it's laughable to think that they're done improving.
good for you. You're clearly way smarter then all the NBA front office types who pay close attention to that yearly big waste of time/money and that includes the PTB's front office. Certainly the Pacers and Thunder have no great run/jump athletes with great length... obviously everyone has a lot to learn from a genius like you. Also, what the heck was Duke thinking offering a reported 3 Million dollar NIL deal to such a low impact player?
4x Curry
There's been plenty of great short guards on contenders. Steve Nash, CP3, Jason Terry.
I don't see why he has to be a "SG". The NBA doesn't have many traditional "PG" today like they did in the 80s/90s.
Odd guys to bring up when projecting Richardson. White and Holiday both measured 6'3.25 barefoot at their respective combine and both had considerably more weight on their much bigger frames then Richardson too. Their size allows them to effectively switch onto 2s and 3s which part of why they've been so successful and making All NBA D teams. Curry was not only much bigger but the greatest shooter in the history of the game which helped compensate for his slight stature. Even so he had to beef up considerably to keep from being bullied by bigger players.
I think everyone here has loved having big two way forwards in Deni/Camara.
None of the Dame history or prior drafts should matter, those are sunk costs.
Best player available. Always.
Yeah, we always say "BPA" but when you get more into the Lotto where we draft, and especially in this draft BPA is VERY subjective among draft analysts, teams, scouts etc. So I disagree in BPA assuming there is very little consensus who the BPA actually might be, so if you have 3 or 4 guys (or more) available and it's a coin flip on BPA then pick the one that you think fits the teams needs the best - and in THIS draft I think that is the reality
I don't care about fit. If the guy is a headcase enough to be a problem he's probably not the BPA and probably won't last in the NBA.
