2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

Looking at your list, the following are extremely suspect when reffering to them as starters. I don't believe they are better suited to be a starter than (for example) Kleber or THJ:
- Korkmaz - I think next to Luka, if his defense is as I've heard is advertised he's at least a DFS quality type starter similar to Satoransky.
- THT (not yet) - Might be true, his contract sounds like it's gonna be at a starter level though, so you go with him and hope he gets there during the year.
- McConnell (not a starter next to Doncic - back up) - Yep, he's the JB replacement if we need to use JB in a SnT. Side grade with a different skillset and isn't a MLE level target.
- Portis - I think I disagree here, I think he is a lower minute starter with Maxi behind him. He gets to take on the bruisers for KP, but can play the game similar to how we envision JCollins would here, just not at the same level.
- Snell (not even close to starter) - For sure, but he is a 2 way bench player that helps to ease the hit we take from letting THJ go, if it comes to that. Also not a MLE target.
- JaMychal - Probably true, I'd get him for under the MLE and see what he does with his teammates and go from there. Where Portis is a poor mans Collins, Green is a poor mans Portis in my mind.
- Tucker (will be even older and already non existing on offense, sooner or later his defense will not be good enough anymore) - Another lower minute starter with Maxi behind him filling in the same role Portis and Green does. I think he's a slightly under MLE target.
- OPJ - He is a starter if he can show closer to his Was days, which is highly unlikely, but he's a step in the 2 way bench direction for sure in my mind and a wing that this roster desperately needs. Also possibly not as high as a MLE target, I just don't know.
- Caruso - Similar to McConnell.
- Theis - Could be a low minute starter, might be an upgraded bench player. Certainly a better C than any of the guys he would be taking the place of. Might not quite be MLE level either.

Some of those are the side-grades I was talking about. I added some to your list.
