Trade Augustin????

augustin doesn't seem athletic enough to survive as a nba pg. he cannot finish inside, isn't strong enough to play any kind of post game and is basically just a weak defender and a streaky 3pt shooter. doesn't pass well either. nba pgs are too versatile and many teams play simply guards at the pg spot especially when subs are in who exploit augustin for the poor defender he is.

really bad pick. honestly don't see augustin having a long nba career.

also i don't know why nba teams continue to draft players who obviously lack strength and athleticism (morrisson comes to mind as an exremely slow weak player, also sean may was overweight and slow. felton on the other hand may not be as quick but is a strong pg). don't get me wrong, augustin is a quick guard but that's simply not enough at this level of basketball. brown and henderson seem to be the best draft we've ever had and both guys have good size and athleticism while neither are extremely weak. Brown isn't as strong as most pfs, but he's not frail.

you can't teach athleticism

If this trade is with the Knicks they'd need to get Nate Robinson or Gallinari. Doubt the Knicks would give up David Lee.

Yes, please bring in another undersized point guard. I'd take Duhon over Nate. At least we know Duhon is smart enough not to take last second three's on his own basket. He is also starting to gain some confidence. Another thing, Brown sucks when it comes to draft picks.

You gotta include TO's, esp when talking about NBA pgs.

    • I think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.
    • Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
