The Indiana Pacers Subreddit
r/pacers
I'm putting together a re-draft post that provides summaries of all of the lotto picks + a few others, and I'm asking the various team-specific subreddits for help. I've included a write-up of Shaedon Sharpe below to use as an example. I'd appreciate any inputs you have on the summary/floor/ceiling for Mathurin. He's obviously having a great rookie year, and I'm interested in how this sub views his game/potential. At the very least, it's likely his 3P% improves, which will positively impact his efficiency even as his usage increases.
SHAEDON SHARPE
Age (on 5/1): 19y 11m
Per 36 totals: 14.2pts, 4.5reb, 1.4ast, 0.8stl, 0.5blk | 48% FG% | 36% 3P% | 67% FT% | 57% TS%
Summary: Already an efficient three-level scorer despite being 19 and never having played at the college level. Has legitimately anomalous athleticism; smoothly explosive in a way that few others are. While that leads to a bunch of highlight-reel dunks, he hasn’t figured out how to leverage that athleticism to draw fouls yet (only averaging 1.6 FTA per 36 min). Whether or not he can be a primary on-ball playmaker is an open question given low assist totals, but he has shown statistically meaningful improvement in that area throughout the season (from 0.9 assists per 36 in his first 50 games —> 2.5 per 36 over the past 20). Has the physical prerequisites to be an above-average guard/wing defender and shows good instincts, but also looks his age at times.
Floor: High-volume scorer who doesn’t create for others and is only average defensively
Ceiling: top-20 player who averages an efficient 25/5/5 while playing plus-defense.
Comp(s): Bradley Beal, Paul George
Re-draft range: 2-7
Hi All,
There is a lot of money chasing the highest quality players in NBA and the best ones can help propel the team to the top of the league. No wonder that salaries keep edging higher every year, as there is a constant battle to retain the best talent. It's worth remembering that salaries only make up a portion of player earnings, as they will still bring in a substantial sum from various different sponsorships as they promote many different brands. In the last year, everyone in the top ten made at least $40 million from their base pay alone.
#10 Klay Thompson at $40,600,080
#9 Damian Lillard at $42,492,492
#8 Giannis Antetokounmpo at $42,492,492
#7 Kawhi Leonard at $42,492,492
Brings in roughly $5.5 per year from his various endorsement deals, with his main sponsor being shoe and apparel company New Balance, he also had a deal with the Air Jordan brand previously.
#6 Paul George at $42,492,568
Maybe a little lower than some of the others here, but still massive earnings compared to the average salary - he is making side money from Bass Pro Shops, Footlocker, New Era and Tissot to name a few.
#5 Kevin Durant at $42,969,845
