Yes to first, no to second. Sabonis is the next Jokic already. There is not another big other than Jokic that can score under basket and with that intelligence, settings screens and passing skills. He would be a top 5 player in the league next to Luka, I have not a single doubt about it. His skills are light years ahead of KP's.
Great point. RC does not want KP. It would need to be a 3 way trade. How about KP to Philly, Simmons to Indy, and Sabonis to Mavs?

And for the record I am not the most familiar with his game, so I am just looking at the numbers blind, so to speak.
Thanks Kamm for looking up and correcting my terminology. I guess back to the basket as I used initially is a term used more when posting up, or? I think it is as a screening and roll man he is absolutely elite.
As a roll man, he is absolutely amazing (Sabonis). It is his incredible IQ for positioning that stands out and all around game. Under the basket, he is simply unstoppable with finishing, very similar to Jokics game.
IMO he is 10x times the player than KP.
