But values for rookies lies in their potential(which he clearly has) and youth(21yo), to become most likely a rotation guy and more.
So between Canaan+2ndRoundPick and KJ, which would you take(for a rebuilding team)?
Canaan is an undersized PG with average potential in PG riiiiiiich league. Note that KJ is a 2 years younger rookie. Rebuilding teams should take KJ. I don't think this is a brainer unless you are riding Canaan's cock hard.
2nd round pick? It's likely worthless. 2nd round rarely turns out to be anything. Turn it into $$$ again maybe.

NovU wrote:3 million per season for KJ wouldn't hurt the 76ers financially. They're way under the cap and KJ's new contract is never going to be an obstacle to stay under the cap (just isn't realistic scenario that they'll have max players to sign suddenly). Rather the trade seemingly was a money-saving move approved by owners.

These Sixers are conspicuously long-limbed -- 10 of the 14 athletes boast a wingspan at least six inches longer than their height. Second: With the remarkable exception of forward Robert Covington -- an undrafted, sweet-shooting 24-year-old with a 7-2 wingspan -- approximately none of them can, you know, shoot.
This is no accident. It remains scientifically impossible to develop arm length, an underrated characteristic on defense. ("Sam is very studied in regards to that," Brown says.) But as Spurs wing Kawhi Leonard has verified, it is possible to grow a prospect's shooting ability over time.
3s...that trait can also be purchased and supplemented...

In this discussion, one concluded draft picks are overvalued. When actual draft pick is made, player gains value based on his potential and youth.
Please discuss this paradox

NovU wrote:As for KJ, I think it was a case of "get the first button right" which apparently gone wrong. Instead they got stuck in a situation where they were supposed to sign him for 3-4mil season in the upcoming offseason(which isn't too bad btw but they traded for Canaan & 2nd round). His stats aren't looking good at the moment but he's a defense priority guy anyway, with decent potential on offense. And... he's a rookie ffs.
