On the flip side of that, a team like the Brooklyn Nets, who we're just going to talk about, don't have their picks next year.

And it's like, oh, fuck it.

It doesn't matter because that pick doesn't matter anyway.

Having said that, though, with the Nets, still kind of like, what do we got here?

I feel like I like a new rookie every month.

And for this month, it's Ben Seroff, who, unfortunately for you guys, I have to make the obvious Denny Avdia comp because I do think, despite the fact that they are countrymen, there is a little Avdia in this guy where he gets north-south downhill like a running back.

in a way that reminds me a lot of Denny.

And then all of the skill stuff seems to pop from there.

The Ringer NBA Show

He's a little smaller, a little bit more dynamic as an athlete too, and is doing some of the ball handling stuff first, whereas Denny became more of a role player and now has backdoored some of the more skill stuff.

Like from a jump, the way he's able to get downhill and then create or like he's getting to the line pretty well.

I've been pretty impressed.

It's like a month and like, you know, Jaeger is not in there.

Traore has fallen off and all of a sudden Seraph is playing well, but he has had a moment and those moments send the matter.

So I wrote down here, for instance, instead of Denny Wolfe.

It changes every month.

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.

The Ringer NBA Show

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.
