Justin Verrier

But I don't know.

I just feel like he's the type of guy who he's never going to get credit for the marginal advancements he's had.

And yes, a lot of it has tended to come in like low stakes environments or just later in the season.

I would say overall, he's been pretty solid.

Like the shooting has been fine.

Like I think he's like a league average or above shooter at this point, which has always been kind of a knock on him.

Great.

And I do think like he is a pretty special playmaker.

And so he kind of has quietly become like the good version that we'd all hoped he'd become.

Like he's not like the perfect Shea compliment that I think like he was miscast as to start his career.

But like this is kind of what I would expect from like a 20 million a year guy.

And like he's that.

And so credit to him.

God damn it.

That's more a product of the Bulls not having anything for him to work with, really.

All right, should we move on to the Bucs?

Let's do it.

I mean, somehow the saddest of all of these teams.

Just because, like, down the stretch, it's just gotten, in addition to the losing and the whole Giannis fiasco, it's gotten even messier than you'd ever imagine.

Where, like, the Players Association is coming in and being like, he's healthy enough to play.
