I think our talent is actually pretty good.
You have to give a few of these guys the offseason to get stronger and actually get real work in on their games.
Robinson, has a very strong plus minus, he hustles, has a good motor and is already an elite shot blocker with tremendous athleticism. He just needs a big man to come in and work with him on positioning. He adds 10-15 pounds in the offseason it's a big leap in year two.
Knox has shown he can score at an elite clip, which is impressive at 19. Remember Giannis really struggled early on and didn't look like the next superstar. In no way is that a comparison, but as he gets a little stronger, they bring in someone to teach him footwork, how to create space and use your own body he's an elite prospect.
Trier has shown he has elite athleticism for his size and is a natural scorer. He's undrafted and is top 10 in pts and assists which is a tremendous accomplishment, not to mentioned he's top 5 in FTA, which is invaluable going forward.
Dotson is a good defender and a high percentage 3 point shooter on a good contract, for a second round pick he's a nice piece.
The only one that hasn't really shown promise to date is Frank, but he's still one of the younger players in the league so he needs a little more time.
All in all with a healthy KP, everyone is obviously much better, there is less attention on them and the depth increases considerably. I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as everyone thinks. We have been dog **** for close to 18 years, but this is the first rebuild in a very long time. Philly was drowning winning no games missing on guys like Noel, MCW, Okafur, etc. We have been efficient drafting the past few years and will turn the corner with another high lottery pick and become a free agent destination again.
I am encouraged.
