Lol, yeah I wonder why he chose to play for a top ten program. What a dummy

Cassius Winston will be receiving a flat salary of $449,155 as a 22-year old his first year out of college. A quick google search tells me that is roughly five times more than the median first year income of a Harvard graduate.

Add JT to the listā€¦

When Foster Loyer has twice as many rebounds as anyone else on the team at halftime something is askew. College basketball at itā€™s best/worst

I would think Duncan will fall into this salary rangeā€¦

I would think his value far exceeds Luke Kennard.

Thanks, that would be great. I donā€™t watch the Pistonā€™s but was curious what others thought.

If he was a FA this year, I think heā€™d only get slightly above that. Heā€™s a restricted FA this upcoming summer, and a lot of team are going to have a lot of cap space, but with George and Giannis signing extensions, it doesnā€™t look like there will be too many big time FA, which might create bidding wars for the next level of FA which I think Duncan falls in.

Kennard could be a very good player. Heā€™s done really well when healthy. Problem is the health. Iā€™m glad the Pistons moved on, but not because I didnā€™t like him.

I think that Duncan is invaluable in the Miami Heat system in a way that Luke Kennard will likely never be in the league for any team.

Kennard is also two years younger and averaged 4 assists last year (something I doubt Duncan will ever do), and is a better shot creator off the dribble. I wouldnā€™t be shocked to see Kennard end up scoring 20 with 5-6 assists at some point in his career, but it likely wonā€™t be on a great team. As a Pistons fan, I enjoyed Kennard but Iā€™m very glad we didnā€™t extend him at that price point while we tank.

Only time will tell, but I really have a bad feeling Caris is just going to end up being an afterthought playing w Kyrie and KD. Iā€™d like to see him somewhere else Bc I think he could be an all star, not on a team with these guys (barring injuries.)

I will say I hope Iā€™m wrong about that obviously

So far it seems like the rotation is set up to give him a good amount of minutes as the primary ball handler so thatā€™s encouraging at least.

Yep. On the ball the entire second quarter. Was happy to see that
