We know he'll step up the stats moving forward, since KAT's shots are now available. In fact, the team may win more (happened when KAT went down last year if I recall). His scoring jumps have almost all been due to taking a lot more shots. Why he gets inconsistent attempts is an interesting question. 35 shots to get 44 isn't staggering.

He isn’t a volume 3 pt shooter and doesn’t get to the line crazy amount of times so he does need to put up a fair amount of shots to get big numbers which is fine as long as it comes on a good %.

51% is a really good night for someone who is a perimeter player

He's improved by about 4-5% as a pro

Georgia: 40.2 / 29.4 / 77.2
Wolves: 44.7 / 35.7 / 79.0

And that’s a huge difference

He’s almost unplayable at the other levels

I texted him that @msgkings322 didn’t put him on the superstar list. Expect this from here on out.
He's not on that list.....YET.

He is a bonafide STAR already.

Kid is fantastic and only getting better.

I’m fine with it

Denver has a huge coaching edge

I don’t think anyone said their season is over. They aren’t getting the 1 seed now though and are likely going to be lucky to hang in the top 4.

Somewhat interesting. Article about 5 players who could return to their original teams...

1. Paul George back to Indy, Clippers receive Myles Turner, TJ McConnell, Bennedict Mathurin, Obi Toppin, 2027 1st round pick.

2. DeJounte Murray returns to Spurs. Hawks receive Jeremy Sochan, Malachi Branham, Devonte' Graham, 2025 1st round pick (via Hornets), 2026 1st round pick (Top 10 protected).

3. Kyle Kuzma returns to Lakers. Wizards receive Rui, Gabe Vincent, 2025 1st round pick.

4. Jerami Grant returns to Sixers. Blazers receive Paul Reed, Nicolas Batum, 2026 1st round pick.

5. Kevin Love returns to Minny. Wolves receive Love and 2026 2nd round pick (via Clippers). Heat receive Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

They’re 6 games up on 5th. They will be top 4

It is still wild how bad of a shooter Edwards was at Georgia

This is going to be an embarrassing admission. .....;

I thought the Wolves should draft Ball and not Edwards. I had pulled up some old games at Georgia and watched him and just hated his game. His shot selection was TERRIBLE.

It still isnt always the greatest....but it is so much better obviously.

I had ball #1 as well. When healthy he can still be that guy.

But injuries happen

4 is impossible if batum is retiring

Lakers one is challenging with no owning their pick this year or next year

2 maybe, but that hornets pick seems worthless since it’s at least lotto protected iirc

Not sure why clippers do 1 unless George really wants out

Sixers can’t do that. Batum is a FA. In a sign and trade you couldn’t have multiple players aggregated.

May want to dismiss anything this article says cause whoever wrote it doesn’t understand the off season rules in the NBA.

No thanks on the Kuzma trade. He won't want back anyway, doesn't want to be a 3rd/4th option.
