People are going to point to his age, but even if he was older, this is a respectable performance and his impact is immense.

the age jokes in every thread are really funny because… if some 24 year old on your team was averaging 22, 9, and 5 with 1.5 stocks wouldn’t you be excited? if he “just” does what he’s done in his first 4 games, that’s a 40M/year guy on a rookie contract

40? They’ll pay any player with that production and age for the upside and give the max

Jaerba | DET

Yeah. Even among the league’s 25 year olds, he looks great.

And I did think his defense on Luka was sound, Luka is just Luka. No one else on the Warriors was going to do better guarding him.

The fact you can get this level of BBIQ and winning impact…. with someone who is on a rookie scale contract for the next 3 years. goddamn, perfect situation for him and curry.

I’m kinda hype at the idea of a breakout MVP campaign from a young unknown player. Right now its pretty much assumed SGA Wemby Jokic Cade and Luka will be the top 5 in whatever order. It being somebody random instead would be glorious.

He’s such a ridiculous value on a rookie contract.

EfficientBee9408

Especially because he’s not just scoring, he’s organizing the offense and rebounding at a high level. A guy who can run second-unit actions and hold his own defensively on a rookie deal is basically cheat code territory for roster construction.
