So who had the highest warp?

My optomistic take:

I know Burke has shown nothing, but he can make 2 3's/game, even if he hasn't shown it since college. That gets him halfway to 12.

That would be 160+ threes. There were 18 guys in the league who made that many threes last year. All were three point bombers who played huge minutes. There was one rookie who made 160+ threes - Damien Lillard made 185. The next closest rookie was Bradley Beal with 91.

I think Rush, Jefferson and Marvin are going to play bigger minutes than any of us want them to this year. I think Marvin plays some at the 4 though to help offset some of the logjam at the 2.

I wouldn't be shocked either to see the Jazz play those three bigger minutes early in the year, hoping to drive the value of those three up enough to create some sort of trade deadline demand for a team looking to offload a non-contributing player for someone who can help a team make a run in exchange for expiring and picks/assets.

I can't figure out how bad this team is going to be.

Without checking again, this is what I remember for projected warp on those guys:

Williams - .9
Rush - 2.3 (I still think he could potentially be valuable, even going forward after this year; 3-and-D is just en vogue because of their worth)
Jefferson - .1

Yeah, I wasn't going to look it up, but hitting 2 threes a game is a lot to ask. No way Burke is in that range.

What were their stat lines?

What were their stat lines?

Rush - 8.6/3.3/1.3
Marv - 11.1/5.6/.9
Dick - 3.1/1.2/.5

Damien Lillard, good comparison

Jefferson to start. Corbin on Burks: "He will get a chance to start this preseason, or sometime this season."

ESPN shows starters as Fav, Enes, G-Time, Dick and Marv. That can't be right. Who's playing point?

Trey Burke starting at point. Just hit a three kicked out from Kanter.
