Right now.....Tyler Johnson is def better than D' Angelo Russell.

It isn't arguable

13.3 ppg 3.2 APG 4 REB 43.3% FG 37.2% 3pt

15.6 ppg 4.8 APG 3.5 REB 40.5% FG 35.2 3pt 

Not to mention one is 4 years older than the other.  To say it isnt arguable is ******* laughable.

tyler johnson is also getting paid like $12mil

 

dude aint even better than jordan clarkson

 

[stillin729]

Tyler Johnson is 25, dude looks like he repeated the 8th grade three times

 

[sohi 23]

Who's the best player Dlo has ever played with? Lou Williams? Lmao.

Give Dlo somebody like Millsap or Whiteside...

 

[Maximus Meridius]

It's not arguable troll game A1

Ben Simmons will change the Lakers Franchise,,do it Magic

 

[Moheezy]

Very very high on Fox's ability.

At minimum he's Mike Conley with better defense imo

Minimum Mike Conley wuth better D?? ...Yea this definitely that time of year again where everybody hyped up about the draft and all these prospects are great ...Yall gotta learn how ceilings and floors work, Fox might not even be Elfriid Payton at his minimum

at the minimum being a $150 mil franchise cornerstone who is in the upper echelon of PGs except with better D.

Realistically speaking, his worst case scenario is Elfred Payton with better scoring and worse passing.

Johnson is more efficient .
Has a higher win share
Higher PER
Better defender
Impacts winning

Tyler Johnson > Dlo

Again, dude said name 5 guards better than Dlo RIGHT NOW. Right now, Tyler Johnson is a better player.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I find it hilarious that the talk went from D'lo not being better than mudiay to 'well..he's definitely not better than Kyrie'

 

[dacomeup]

Yea, saying he's Conley at minimum isn't reasonable.

Unreasonable to Conley, probably. To Foxs potential I don't think so.

I'm saying career arc is more than reasonable as a minimum.

J is 1000% fixable as was Conley's, frames are similar.

I think Fox comparison to Wall is unfair personally, isn't Wall explosive and isn't as ambidextrous

Do you understand how good Mike Conley is? You're saying that Fox's floor is to be one of the 30 best players in the league? I'm not sure if anyone believes that.

 

[wavycrocket]

I find it hilarious that the talk went from D'lo not being better than mudiay to 'well..he's definitely not better than Kyrie'

I mean, my guy sohi 23 said name 3 guards 25 and under that are better....

There are 6 of them...shruggs

 

[sohi 23]

Kobe of course

I tried to erase that **** from my memory lmao I forgot all about that. Honestly tho, not much of a difference between 2016 Kobe and 2017 Lou

Peep how Dlo's numbers rose when Lou wasn't there to take up all the shots/offense


And I meant 5 guards you'd rather have going forward. If Miami offered Johnson for Dlo, the Lakers wouldn't be able to hang up fast enough.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Elfrid Payton?

How many times have you watched HIM play?

A minimum of Elfrid Freaking Payton....

As ridiculous as you think my opinion is (which I agree is High, but that how high I am on him) I think that minimum is.

If he's Elfrid freaking Payton he's a complete bust no doubt.

Elfrid Payton tho

 

[nick.]

Fox is already better than Payton

 

[Moheezy]

Fox hasn't played a single NBA minute so there's no means of comparison there. Not yet at least.

Payton is also a solid player if he has the right talent around him. Wasn't he balling out the last two months of the season?

I've watched Monk closely and I think he has a very high potential. But honestly like someone said, I don't think you understand how floors and ceilings work.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

I don't see how me saying that Fox will land somewhere between Conley and Wall is so blasphemous...

Wall is currently the 5-6th best PG, Conley the 10th or so... by the time he's 23-25 I think he'll be there.

*shrugs*

The 20th best PG in the L is just not an accurate "floor" IMO

It's just not.


IMO

Leave that 20th slot open for Dennis Smith

 

[stillin729]

I think Fox is going to be a very good pro

I wouldn't be mad coming away with him at #3

 

[frshstunna]

Already better than Payton without playing a single min? Payton does everything Fox should be able to do BUT shoot, which also happens to be Fox's weakness ..Like i said im not suprsied cuz this how draft threads are...last year ppl were talking bout Kris Dunn taking Rubio's job for sure or no way Ingram doesn't lead all rookies in scoring sooo :\

 

[addict4sneakers]

Statistically, Payton was really good in March and April.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

If Dareon Fox can't shoot, and his frail body makes him not a good finisher,


then he's not going to be good a good NBA player.



That could totally happen, not saying it will but there a multiple scenarios where Fox isn't very good.
