Robinson’s 6’3, 6’7 WS. Small-ish. Boogie’s very much a “Cal guards shrug” inclusion. And honestly I dropped Braden Smith & Tahaad Pettiford a tier largely b/c of their size scaring me

Demin has a 44 EFG against the top 220 teams on barttorvik. I do not believe he will be able to score at all against NBA defenses, unfortunately, he’s a really cool player. And I would be comfortable playing every guard until Fears next to another guard

just the Ace/McNeeley spots or something else?

i dont necessarily mean haaland’s the bar, i mean i need to see havertz sustain a haaland-esque for a long time to believe it’s real

the logic *was* that the number i was remembering is a number that doesnt happen at all over larger samples and thus the overall output has to be curved down obviously new information changes things (also i would frankly like to see him do even haaland xg/shot for a bigger sample)

maybe i’m misremembering the number i saw like something approaching .3 a few weeks ago

i know that conceptually high xg/shot is good and indicative of those things, but i’m saying the radar from this period benefits from it being at a level higher than even he can sustain, even in this team

right, but this includes the midfield minutes, it gets above haaland territory outside that if i am not mistaken

he has good xg/shot his whole career, it’s higher than usual for this period
December 14, 2024 at 8:41 PM

i think that ~1000 minutes of this with his history and that high of xg/shot is not at all enough to justify not signing any 1st choice attackers this summer. even if you love him, get a winger

He ended last season on a hot finishing stretch. And this is not good enough xG+xA/90 from CF in a team this good in my opinion.

Havertz being considered the first choice striker because of a well-timed purple patch is, in itself, bad process

That Rice number is also an overpay honestly. And, again, the biggest issue is that in 2 years as a team attempting to challenge for 4 trophies, we have signed zero first choice attackers intentionally, and that is bad process, regardless of the ways you can talk yourself out of Osimhen in 2024

i enjoy watching the game as it exists but the corner three is also probably too valuable from a game design standpoint

If the squad survived Rice making that #, it can handle Osimhen. This is the player quality disagreement I referred to earlier. He’s one of the 5 best living CFs, if the options are a bad deal for Osimhen or another year of Havertz, take the bad deal. If the Sun numbers are true I retract though.

the numbers i saw (the sun notwithstanding) were similar to what rice makes.

but there’s a strong positional value argument against doing that if he’s going to be the only huge swing.)

Osimhen wants, like, a mild overpay for a superstar CF. It’s an overpay, no doubt, but we have reached a point in the process where it is time to take a risk to add a superhero. And this is a paths not traveled thing too, the Rice money could have been a ton of things (not complaining about Rice
