I have on my wire, Brook Lopez, Greg Monroe, Skal Labissiere, and Richaun Holmes.
How would you rate the potential second half upside for each of these players?
Who has the best chance of performing?
And also who has the highest ceiling?
I'd go:
Brook (assuming lakers move some bigs)
Skal (assuming kings sort their stuff out and start playing rookies)
Monroe/holmes (obviously not part of the plan/no obvious way to mins while embiids alive.)
Man, I wish I had faith Lopez would see some minutes. I feel like a Randle trade AND a Kuzma injury need to happen. Or maybe a Nance injury, since that feels more likely. He does have the highest upside, though.
Skal should see more mins but I hate the Kings. Monroe SHOULD get traded, but who knows with Phoenix. Holmes seems doomed to getting Colangelo'd up the you-know-what.
So...
Brook
Skal
Monroe
Holmes
