Please no. Herro was hot for two months in the bubble and suddenly hes the next coming of Ray Allen. Im not sure he is better than Grayson Allen. Also does not give a shit about basketball and is all about the instalife. Why would I trade a tone setter who thinks of nothing but bball for that? And Herro is by far the worse player. Absolutely not. Only player I want on that roster is Bam
Sure. Barnes averaged more points per game (over 40 mins.) as a freshman at FSU (16.7 vs 16.4) than Patrick Williams did and he went 4th overall to Chicago in the 2020 draft. Additionally, their true shooting percentages were very close (.548 vs .553) with Williams holding a slight edge. The difference is Barnes is a much better defender, ball handler, passer, & leader.
It's a risk, but at some point you have to be willing to take risks. High character guys who are hard workers and good shooters from the outside aren't going to be made available. SGA is a good example as to why you can't be too rigid in applying a wants to be here standard with a team located in Cleveland. If we had drafted him despite his preference, we're not having any conversation about offering him a max extension right now. He's a no-brainer max guy.
Have you checked both herro and sexton's stats? Sexton has shot it consistently better from 3 compared to herro. And sexton can create from the dribble, unlike herro.

Sexton averaged .371 from 3 on 4.4 attempts last year. He also averaged 18.4 FGA which doesn't include the 6.4 FTA or 2.8 turnovers.
The stats I quoted are per 40 minutes. That’s the only true way to compare these guys, especially since Barnes came off the bench for FSU, just as Williams did.He averaged 10.3.

I agree passing on SGA was not ideal to put it mildly. Shouldn't be allowing a 19 year old and his camp to dictate terms to you.
Barnes is light years ahead of Williams as a prospect. Williams was very raw while Barnes has the entire package including ballhandling. A very reasonable comp for Barnes would be Draymond. It just goes to show how much better the depth in this draft is compared to last year when Williams got picked at #4.
He has a couple of things that concern me. None that aren't fixable and other players also display them. My biggest concern is how the ball leaves his hand. He basically shoots from his thumb and first two fingers. This can lead to erratic release when sped up. You'll notice in that video his pinky is contracted that's what made me notice it.
He averaged 10.3.

I hate this argument. People use it with per 36 in NBA all the time. It ignores the fact that guys are often playing against backups and the question as to why they're not getting more minutes.
So you just need sexton to shoot more from 3 and he will be much better scorer and 3 pt threat than herro right?
