Monta is much more consistent than Tyreke and Monta with the Mavs showed he wasn't just an empty volume stats guy. At least to me. Now that he's in Indy and getting older, I am cautious on him though

I agree. I think he proved with the right system, he's pretty solid. Yeah, with Indy, i'm not too high on him for some reason but Monta will always be my guy so I hope he does well there.
 
I think Monta is going to shine in Indy. He's going to be the de-facto PG...with Hill playing off the ball.

Monta and PG13 running P&R should be lethal.

Yes, that will be lethal a offense with those two running. Hill is gonna be getting open 3s.

This HAS to be Beal's year to make that "leap." We all saw what he did in the playoffs. He was on another level on both offense and defense. Crazy to think that until the team drafted Kelly Oubre, he was the youngest on the squad. Dude just turned 22...has a year of college under his belt, and will now be a 4th year pro. Upside is through the roof. If the Wizards are serious about playing ball more like what we saw in the playoffs, there is no reason for him not to continue his great play. This is exactly why I believe he should be no lower than #5 on that list at season's end...maybe even #3. Sky is the limit for this dude.

Leery of Beal making the leap this year. The biggest thing he has to change is his free throw rate and historically, that doesn't change with players, especially after 3 years in the league. But he is still very young and has shown some promise in the postseason so we'll see.
 
Beal's numbers just scream inconstancy. Like he's a career 40% 3pt shooter on a high volume, but shoots 78% from the line...and doesn't get there much.

I really do believe that he's figured it out, and those long 2's will turn to either 3's or finishes at the rims, floaters, foul shots and elbow jumpers.

His handle has improved a ton since he's got in the league too.

Pretty sure it's been mentioned but he needs to stay healthy.
 
I'm sorry...idc about lack of playoff history, vet leadership, etc. I'm not taking dudes like Danny green, Korver, Reddick over Oladipo if I had to choose a starting 2.

Why not?

All of them shoot above 44% from 3 and defend their positions.

Vic has more potential and raw ability....but right now, those guys are just better NBA players due to experience, shooting and defense.

Who you would choose is not the same question as the top ten two guards in the league.
 
oladipo

Taking into account stats, skills and health:

1. Harden
2. Butler
3. Thompson
4. Wade
5. Matthews (tricky because of the Achilles injury

)
6. DeRozan
7. Green
8. Korver
9. Redick
10. Beal

Kobe is also playing SF this season.

oladipo should be in the top 10 already and hes ready for top 5 this season. him and vucevic will make them a sneaky eastern conference team.

and monta should definitely be on this list. rondo trade ast year really made people forget about monta
 
Melo looking good so far. Looks lighter on his feet, and playing with more "pop". He's still going to get blocked a ton and hock up mid range shots though....

But that man scores at every single level.
