Amen Thompson -- I'm afraid we've seen from this year that he's simply not cut out to be a point guard in the NBA. What he is is an uber-athletic defender and slasher who'd be best as a small forward. Still a heck of a player, mind, but maybe not what we were hoping for.
Paolo Banchero -- he's been a real disappointment to me, honestly. At this point I don't see him ever being a No. 1 player on a really good team. If he doesn't make some real adjustments in the next year or two, he might not even be a No. 2. Living up to where he was picked in the draft does not seem to be in the cards for him, which is a shame because he does have talent.
My two cents on a couple of these guys...

Agreed on both accounts, although I still have a slim sliver of hope for Paolo to elevate himself.
Vassell and Champagnie shot ~38% from 3 on 7 attempts for the Playoffs!!
Glad you’re giving them their flowers 💐
Vassell has one of the coolest jumpers in the league, pogo stick levels of elevation, then shooting way above his head
Yeah, I don't know if it's textbook form, exactly, but I agree it is pleasing to my eye ha.
