I mean, it's fairly easy to comp out payers because 98% of them never transition to high level 2-way play. So a solid defensive base (which 80% of players don't have or or simply lack the desire to pursue) is an absolute bare minimum prerequisite, as it's not particularly difficult to drop 20ppg in today's game...but it is being a clamp for 48.

The only real exceptions are the BBIQ Euro wizzes that basically facilitate and control every aspect of the offense to the point where their lack of defense can sort of become overlooked. But even with Lulu that dynamic doesn't necessarily last forever...at least not if the hardware isn't coming in.

There will inevitably a few Poole/Herro/Monks in this draft just as there are every year.

Good for Geoff to start planning his next timeshare aquisition...not so good in moving franchise needles.
