And people get too caught up in "1st round picks 10-30"... there just isn't that much difference between the 40th-best prospect and the 12th-best, a lot of the time.
Well-- ok...how about "a little more athletic version of Durr"--- because that player, IMO, is there in bunches in the portal.
The kid from Ole Miss (Moussa?) and there is one from Harvard. There have been others listed.
I agree.
But.. we have more money to spend, too. Find a rim protector, the more athletic version of Durr is fine. I will say-- I wish there was a continued stat of "altered shot rate" whatever, the same as we have block rate.
Edey's block rate wasn't great for 7'4-- but I bet he altered a ton of shots.
Elly De La Cruz 😍
using the opposite field like a vet, currently... He's made two plays defensively, 70ft down the line from third base, this season, as well. Insane talent.

Leading the league in steals and switch hits
That's easy compared, incredibly easy, compared to the drive we're talking about. 4-5 hours ish round trip for all of that.
I like the drive from Indy to Kokomo.
3.5hr drive Bloomington to LaPorte-- 215 miles
2hr 55 min drive LaPorte to Greenfield- 170 miles
3hr 5min drive Greenfield to Heritage Hills- 165 miles
It's not even doable in a day.
