If you think you have your franchise player then you absolutely throw them into the fire.
It’s why I was not worried at all about Banchero last year while you were crying about his TS%.
He was not equipped to be a first option last year but it never mattered at all because those first option reps are invaluable.
As someone already mentioned, there is an overwhelming amount of data that suggests you’re wrong. Also, the majority of these players that were brought along slowly had much more offensive talent than Scottie. Scottie averaged 10ppg in college and was largely seen as a project. No one expected him to win ROTY. No one even expected him to contribute much in his rookie season. I know deep down you don’t honestly believe what you are typing here.
I wasn’t crying about Banchero’s TS%. I’m actually a fan of him and liked the pick. The argument was from you claiming he was a 3 level scorer despite him shooting like 28% from three.
The first option reps have really worked out for Cade and Jalen Green. Both of whom are the same players if not worse from their rookie seasons.
I promise you right now, Jokic, Tatum, Butler, Scottie, Sengun, Hali, Giannis, Brown, Pascal, Maxey and dozens of others would not be better off had they had 1st option reps in their rookie seasons.
