And I think that's the problem that they all have played to a certain level where they'll have like two games where it's like, oh, really see it in that game.

But then they'll have 10 where it's like, I don't fucking know.

And also like with Traore and Seraph and and with Yegor, they're obviously playing similar styles.

I don't know if Seraph is really like a go to primary ball handler.

It seems like he's more of a two wing type, especially if he can get the shooting to go.

So like they could play together, but a lot of times like they're stepping on each other.

But now like Jaeger is hurt.

And so long story short, I almost want to put all three of those guys at like two A, B and C. Whereas I think Danny Wolf has been the best of them.

But ultimately, I don't like him long term is like for the future.

And so I don't know which is the problem.

I think at a certain point this season, you would expect to at least have like an idea of where the runway is, right?

The advantage, I guess, of the model that they took with the draft, if there is a consistent theory there, is that these guys are on the younger side of draft picks.

Traore is super young.

And so maybe they thought, because they don't have the draft pick next year, we'll just take longer-term projects and slowly start to build them.

Obviously, teams love to get their hands on these guys earlier as opposed to later.
