Can they trade us Wagner? He doesn’t deserve to play for that terrible org. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker makes plays that help teams win. He will get posted up at 6’8 and lacks the quickness to credibly cover fours like Giannis. Nobody can guard him but he’s especially got no shot. Off the bench, he can be a role player due to his motor. To quote Scott regarding Galloway, you aren’t winning big with him in the starting lineup IMO.

They are a cluster of horribly mis-matched pieces with a lot of names but hardly any one who matters.

He can step out though and he seems like a great kid. Effort can go a long way even at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not that undersized considering there are plenty of guys similar to his size that play the position just fine. Collins and Randle are similar in size just to name a couple.

Solid players are nice but until you identify and acquire those centerpieces what is the point of being a “winning team”. Gosh I wish they would swing big instead of playing it safe.

I like guys with upside and who have a translatable skill. The Whitmores of the world at 6’8 are a dime a dozen. JHS with his size and strength and elite ability to get in the lane has a skill set that should work. There are some guys who have already gone who lack anything like that.

By the way, maybe next year ESPN can have Jay Williams host with Bilas and Redick as the analysts.
