I remember hearing someone say he was the better of the 2 brothers...have not seen enough of him. Nice offensive player, but I'm not sure if he will be an adequate defender.

Would not mind having him, but you really have to look at how much he would cost.

I haven't seen enough of Juancho to determine who is the better of the two but his skillset does intrigue me off the bench. We need a bench big that can come in and replace either Willy or Porzingis as the 4-man defensively. Juancho might fit that profile and him being related to Willy leads me to believe that there would be good on-court synergy with them. I'm just concerned about the defensive end because that bench big should be a player that can effectively switch on the 1-4 pick and roll and be able to contain his man. Not sure that Juancho has that or could develop into that at 21 years old.

Do you think that he is a surefire starter in this league? What makes you value him so highly?

absolutely but I doubt Denver would do that because they think Faried still has value which he should.

Does he really though? It feels like he's been on the block every year but doesn't get moved because of his defense, poor spacing and supposedly diva-ish attitude. Rumors are rumors but where there is smoke, there is fire.
