Unless you have Steph's incredible shooting skills, you're exposed as short, leading guard in the POs. none of these guys will get to the finals this year, if ever as a top dog... Kyie got a ring but that was 8 years ago and he was arguably a generational talent, if he ever had the head to go with his skills.
What you want is that long versatile guard/wing, to ring today, not a short guard. Looking at the last 6 or 7 NBA finalists and winners none of them had a starting 6'1 PG.. And this year:
- Suns are a first round out with Booker and Beal (both won't probably never make the finals).
- MIL with Lillard is in bad shape. Pretty sure they'll never ring with Lillard who never made the finals. Pacers won't ever make the finals with Haliburton as their starter either.
- NY with Brunson is 2-1 but that's because Embiid is ailing (and PHI might win the series) Pretty sure Brunson and Maxey will never make the finals as starters.
- NO is 0-3 with Zion out and CJ who who never saw and probably will never see the finals.
- MIN is in good shape but Ant is their real PG, Conley (who never made the finals) is basically a shooting guard and I do'nt beleive MIN make the finals either.
- Lakers are a first round out with Russel as PG who'got badly exposed again this year.
- Dallas is not making the finals with Kyrie either.
Now, Boston, OKC or Denver who are startigng taller PGs are le favorites.
I contradict myself because I wouldn't be against Trae but I do'nt believe spurs are ringing with him also. it's jsut that Wemby is badly needing help and start to play meaningfull/PO games. But between the two, because of size, I'd take Dejounte.
