okay, what is the ceiling? If this does come to fruition, like if he shoots it, like, I don't think there's quite like all-star upside, but like could be a guy that like, if he's shooting it by the end of his rookie deal, like might be like a 25 to no 25% max guy, like 20% max guy. Like he's a real impact player, like across the board, except for the shooting. So part of it is that for sure.

Part of it is, okay, what do I think the likelihood is of him shooting? He's willing to shoot. I don't think the shot is particularly broken right now in any respect. I think that like the shot prep could probably improve a little bit. I think that like the offhand, you know, probably needs like a little bit of adjustment, but

But, like, there's a world, like, it's not impossible that he's going to shoot. Like, you know, I'm trying to think of an example here. Like, Yohan Baranje, the guy that we brought up earlier, he's taken, like, three jump shots this year. When he loads into a mid-range jumper, it takes him, you know, probably two full seconds to load into the mid-range jumper. Yeah.

And I might be exaggerating there, but, like, only slightly. So it's very unlikely that he's ever going to shoot. Right. But with Murray Boyles, it's like, okay, like I can, I can see a world where this works. Like I can see a world where we look up in three years and he's actually maybe not a high volume three point shooter, but you know, 35% on four, three point attempts per game.

Like it's not, not out of the question. And if that happens, he's way easier to fit on the court and is like a real impact player.

So look, I think they need a center, right? I agree. I agree. And part of this is like that... we don't know what direction the sons are going to go. We assume they're probably going to continue to try and compete because they don't have many of their own picks.

And Matt Ishbia seems like he wants to continue to try and do this, but it also seems like they're probably moving Kevin Durant this summer, you know, based off of all reporting out there. Right. So, you know, how, how far do they contend with,
