Justin Verrier

Yeah, they have him listed at 6'9", but he's a beefy 6'9".

And it's crazy watching him out there because it almost feels like Tom Hanks' big style just doesn't have full control over his entire body.

He'll do things, and it's almost like he's surprised about where he's going.

But there's an effortlessness to some of the skill stuff that clearly can't be taught.

The shooting touch seems pretty nice, and the passing reads seem pretty natural to him.

And so you're right.

I was watching him.

One, they have a lot of big wings out there that they can throw out there because Keyshawn's also big.

Will's big.

Koulibaly's big.

But he already has shown the type of offensive inclination that Koulibaly has just never shown.

And he's obviously going into a big year this summer with that draft class already being extension eligible.

I'm like, what is Koulibaly at this point?

He's practically just like a defensive guy.

And if you keep him in the rotation, that has some advantages, especially on a trade team that's going to be looking to fill out the wings there.

But like...

I think he already has passed him in the pecking order, if only because, like, there's just so much more to explore.

Also say this about the Trae Young and AD trades looking back on it.

Like I still like those deals more as rehab way stations in order to flip them later on.

Like maybe once some of these other younger guys pop, you can kind of like almost level them up and push those guys out for future assets.
