    CONSIDER:
    1. In a perfect world we have a 1A scorer that can dish but we have nothing close to that.
    2. Using KD like he's Carmelo on our current roster is a bad bad ancient plan
    3. In today's league which team doesn't have their best scorer as their lead ball handler?? Only 1 or 2 exceptions in cases where the best scorer is also the best defensive player, which does not apply to us.
    4. KD is the ONLY player on our team who can hit a straight away 3 from the top of the key and beyond. No hyperbole. If he's not there, we surrender the entire backcourt and our spacing.
    5. Cramped spacing, bad shots, being tall = recipe for being an all time great offensive rebounding team. Check that off the list
    Counters:
    1. Reed isn't there yet
    2. Jason Tatum doesn't count with Jaylen Brown as a 1A option
    3. Wemby doesn't count, best defender
    4. In fairness Reed actually can from top of key but takes far too many shots from inefficient spots: https://3stepsbasket.com/player/isaiah-reed-sheppard/shooting?season=nba26
    5. This is just factual

    Conclusion: PGKD until FVV

    Bonus: Neemias Queta's performance foreshadowed here, #11 on list
