By: PhillyPhilly Date: July 21, 2024, 2:04 pm --------------------------------------------------------- He's not amazing at anything, but seemingly solid at everything, defense included. And a stylistic fit with Maxey. He's listed at 6'3, but looks like he's as long as a wing. #Post#: 389546-------------------------------------------------- Re: Can anyone identify any clear flaws in Dowtin's game?

I think DM would be wise to sign him if for no other reason that when a KJ trade happens, we will probably need another team to make it work. If we can get two salaries close, we will still need a player to move to another team so both of the trading parties are sending out more than they get back. #Post#: 389547-------------------------------------------------- Re: Can anyone identify any clear flaws in Dowtin's game?

[/quote] yes, 5th team in 5 seasons. other than brief stint last year he's never shot more than .313 from 3. he wouldn't be the first guy to develop late, so we can hope #Post#: 389559-------------------------------------------------- Re: Can anyone identify any clear flaws in Dowtin's game?

[/quote] My guess is that McCain, Bona, Martin and a vet on a minimum contract will be the trade fillers. The sooner we move on McCain the better. Let's hope he gets off to a hot start from 3. #Post#: 389562-------------------------------------------------- Re: Can anyone identify any clear flaws in Dowtin's game?

[/quote] if they are planning on trading mccain, why bother drafting him? why not trade the rights to the pick or include it in a trade and use the cash for another player? #Post#: 389565-------------------------------------------------- Re: Can anyone identify any clear flaws in Dowtin's game?

We have to stop thinking about guards. We need rebounding. #Post#: 389571-------------------------------------------------- Re: Can anyone identify any clear flaws in Dowtin's game?

[/quote] why would we move mccain? he might end up best shooter we have drafted ( other than maxey) in decades? hes short, short arms but solid body for defending PGs. he is composed solid and has some game i predict he will be a serious shooter no chancfe i am trading him until i KNOW he cant shoot #Post#: 389643-------------------------------------------------- Re: Can anyone identify any clear flaws in Dowtin's game?

Or is this a statistical anomaly? ***************************************************** (DIR) Next Page
