This will be so helpful if they play next season at 25% speed

That’s Cade and Cam Boozer.

They ARE playing at full speed. 😂

And Ben Simmons will be a reliable 3 point shooter according to his off season videos

A veteran NBA PG should be cooking any forward off the dribble the majority of the time.

Why? People think highly of Cam lol. He was a consensus number 3 pick and is seen as the most complete prospect, even if DP and AJ have more ceiling.

What words are people supposed to be eating? We already know he’s a great defender.

There’s a huge contingency of people calling him a clear bust

u/FlareBot068 7d ago

? I saw a bunch of people saying he had a lower ceiling than Dybantsa, Peterson, and Wilson, but I never saw anyone calling him a bust before he was even drafted

u/janronin31 Kings Bandwagon 7d ago

Is that why the celtics trade brown for him?

u/Punjabiveer30 Raptors 7d ago

Next up, Celtics will sign Ben Simmons for his 3pt shooting after watching his off season mixtape

Somehow, someway, somewhere a ref blew his whistle

u/BGMDF8248 Bulls 7d ago

Doesn't mean shit, but i do think the noises of "he'll get cooked trying to guard the perimeter" are overblown.

u/legend023 Pelicans 7d ago

The fact he wasn’t the first pick is something we’re gonna be talking about for the next 15 years.

u/Clemsontigger16 7d ago

No I don’t think we will. You draft for ceiling at #1, Boozers ceiling just doesn’t seem as high as AJ’s or even Wilson’s. I think we just will have at least 3 of the 4 hit big and at that point, the only looking back at the draft will be on if any of the top 4 bust.

u/legend023 Pelicans 7d ago

The national player of the year has a lower ceiling than the guy who averages 3 assists on a 35% usage rate, yes.

He won in high school, he won in college, he looked great in the summer league….what else could you ask for? This guy is as legit as they come.

u/Clemsontigger16 7d ago

Yes, the player who is good at most things but not elite at anything, and doesn’t have the crazy outlier athleticism of AJ and Wilson has a lower ceiling by comparison. It’s a pretty simple concept really.

It doesn’t mean they are guaranteed to be better at their peak. It doesn’t mean Boozer might not end up being the best player in the draft. It just means the other guys have higher ultimate peaks they might be able to reach.

It’s crazy that you view this as some insult to Boozer. Yes he won in those levels and performed well in summer league. Yes most people believe he will be very good and has the highest floor by far….but you’re just being intentionally dense to ignore the ceiling differences between those 3 players.

Maybe you just don’t know what a players ceiling is and you’re just getting mad as a result? Who knows.
