    agree. AC is more of a wing on offense, pg on defense type. could, in theory, pair nicely with THT in that regard.

    So many bright spots tonight that THT’s great play continuing hasn’t even been mentioned yet. Couple more self created 3s and one power move up the middle finished with his supposedly non existent left hand. Continued his good D and all around play. Guy would be a lottery pick if he came out now with how he plays.

    yeah I'll take him over most of the lottery picks the last two drafts because I'm a homer and he looks good on both ends

    yeah, everybody worried about us trading late first rounders when we've been buying 2nds that are better than the picks we gave up.

    His ability to get to the basket is so good: I still think he's 1 to 2 years away but you combine the ability to get to the basket with a pull up jumper he could be scary good. Trent burnt him last night but not many guys in the league who can play PG and still be able to contest a 3 bombing away from range

    Carushow much older with more pro experience too. Love the Eagle and hope we keep both for our future along with KCP and Shroeder. What a great mix both sides of the ball.

    I love both.

    AC is better:
    Perimeter defender
    Team defender
    Cutter
    Finisher at the rim
    Dunker


    THT is better:
    Ball handler
    ISO
    Shooter
    Blocker
    Rebounder

    porque no los dos?

    THT+caruso+schroder type + matthews/green type is kind of the ideal guard rotation, particularly when you have a lebron type point forward.
