What is Corey Maggette Worth?
July 8, 2008 2:27 PM
I can't decide what to make of that guy. At his best, he's very, very good.
He can do a lot of things that a lot of other players can not do. His PER is not bad. It's not hard to make a highlight reel of him. (And this I know: Corey Maggette has better peripheral vision than your Average Joe. But nobody's perfect.)
But is that stuff essential to winning a title? Thus far, you'd have to guess not, as things don't seem to work well for his team when he's playing.
And if ends up in San Antonio -- where he would play a role in a well-established system -- I assume his athleticism and shooting will be put to good use, and he would be a fantastic fourth or fifth best player. I would like to see that.
But if Maggette ends up somewhere like Golden State, where he will be expected to help define the team? Then I am crossing my fingers and hoping that he has been developing a lot as he has been aging. Because he has not been part of a winning system, and he's not about to get more athletic. . .Corey Maggette at three years, $16 or $17 million or so ... maybe. Corey Maggette at five years for $40 million? No way.
