In fact, I think he may be more important if we get Lowry. He can settle into a 22-25 minute player and take some load off Lowry, if he signed here. In two years, he may be able to fill what Lowry provides. That is asking a lot because Jalen is more limited physically, but he made a big jump this past year. Does he have another jump or a half jump left in his development.
Going back to the young prospects, I will be very disappointed if they need to move Green or Terry to free up a little room. I know we have new leadership, but both Green and Terry were future picks when the picks were made. Right now if you trade them, you are probably getting very little value back. I hope we ride out the time and let them develop. Even if a guy like Terry probably isn't going to help next year.
Agree that Brunson is good and getting better all the time.
Agree that all four rookies acquired last year were intriguing for the future. I can't believe people are down on them just because they couldn't play much in year one.
But, as you said, it's a new leadership team, and I bet they're itching to make some moves. There are only so many "don't give up on him" spots you can hold with that attitude. At least one of those 5 guys will not be here next year.
