More wings doesn't mean they are any good
They don't have to be good to be better than last year.
Brissett looks like a solid defender with physicality. Svi looks like he can shoot, and move his feet a little on defense too.
Even if these guys are 1-tool players they're an improvement over Champagnie and Jackson. They look like guys we can put out there with the starters and they won't completely embarrass themselves if they stick to their roles.
I won't be shocked if somebody steps up and surpasses Hauser in the depth chart.
Brissett isn't a wing. He is basically a worse Grant Williams. So if we are counting him, then you have to count Grant from last year. Brown also played a lot at wing last year because we had Brogdon, White, and Smart (not to mention PP) which we've trimmed to Jrue and White.
Hauser, Walsh, Svi vs. Hauser, Jackson, Champagnie. Yeah it is better this year, but it still blows.
Not gonna let you cut six bodies down to three Moranis. Brissett is much more capable of guarding two's, and threes than Grant. He counts as a wing that can guard fours as well.
You left off Lamar Stevens who is like a power Guard type. Jordan Walsh with Great feet and a 7'3" wingspan that will see the court, and has great defensive tools.
Svi who looks beget than Justin Jackson and Champaine already, and one of Brad's first grabs this off-season six foot eight inch Blanton, who can play anywhere, and guard anyone.
It's not Even close honestly. This team has way better options than last year.
if you count Brissett, you have to count Grant. If you count Stevens you have to count Muscala. Balnton is a PG. The team doesn't have 6 backup wings. That is ridiculous.
Moranis. Early in the season Blanton is in as a wing. Brought into guard Covington a 6 foot seven wing himself.
Blanton is playing with Holiday and Prichard. Hes not playing point guard. Hes very versitle because of his size and speed.
Hes a guard and a wing .
3 minutes on the wing, doesn't make a player a wing. Blake Griffin played more than 3 minutes as a wing last year also.
Just admit he's a guard that also plays wing man.
He has never played wing in college or the NBA until tonight. Literally 0 minutes. If he does this all year, sure, but after a game. come on. that is silly.
