As ever, we can trade JV, but very likely won't.

It' not so much that we can't find JV, it's finding a suitor that will take him off our hands.... only way for that to happen is to showcase him on offense like we have Yak & Siakam during this Summer League.Axel wrote:Now Cody can stop posting about this guy and we have a poster to blame if anything goes wrong!!KeonClark wrote:We won't hear back from him.

Until then, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they most often stink

Good thing the Nuggets choked too.

His game is actually way advanced beyond what he could be reasonably expected to have learned at this point. This is why other players (like Sullinger and Carroll) all say he's going to become a beast.
My points on Siakam of late have not been about upside, but about readiness to produce now. I think he should be able to handle a bench role, based on a conservative estimate of improvement over his rookie year. I just don't think the team would be well served to hand him the starting role (like last year) in the event they move JV to the bench or another team.

To change his value, he has to show he can rim protect better, punish other teams for doubling him in the post and/or extend his range to above the break.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

Using JV to chase ball handlers out to centre court or take corner 3's probably wouldn't work because he doesn't have the quickness to recover or get back in transition. If we actually pass to him on the PnR, it would be a lot better for the Raptors, but everyone already knows he's a very good finisher. Whether we do it twice or 10 times a game wouldn't change his value.

A 20/10 guy (which would be a tall order but not impossible with increased usage and minutes) is an easier sell than a big who plays roughly half the game and puts up more modest totals.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.
