00:00Zach Collins and Norman Powell and obviously Nick Claxton, like those are those are guys that potentially like if you
00:08decide one, I think they serve two purposes.
00:10One, if you decide, you know, should they be healthy, mostly in the case of Claxton and especially Zach Collins,
00:18if they're healthy, if they serve their purpose, can you flip these guys at the deadline or next summer?
00:24Can you give them a short term look and get value out of this? Because I do think the priority
00:29for the front office is still future assets.
00:32So that's one purpose. But I do also think in the short term, specifically with Claxton and Norman Powell, you
00:40get a couple of guys, a couple of archetypes of players that should be beneficial as you're trying to develop
00:45Caleb Wilson and Daylon Swain and play with a team that also involves Josh Giddey like Norman Powell.
00:54Like by no means is the shooting like completely addressed. Like this is still this is a team full of
01:01guys who don't have reputations as shooters.
01:04They're still going to play Isaac Okoro, still going to play Josh Giddey, they're still going to play Trey Jones.
01:09I want to see what a Senge can do, you know?
01:12Sure. As far as I know, he's not a shooter either.
01:15No, he's not. But I want to see him. I want to see him on the floor just so I
01:20can evaluate his skill set.
01:21Yeah, fair enough. And so I do think Norman Powell, while the shooting is not completely addressed, he is this
01:28this volume of shooter, this this historically efficient shooter, both on, off the ball.
01:35He can attack closeouts. He can create a little bit.
01:39He can get you 20 if that is what that night requires.
01:43He gives you this versatility as a shooter that frankly, like if Caleb Wilson is going to play in a
01:48post sum or create inside the arc, like he needs that space.
01:52And this team needs that space and to sort of grow into the things they need to grow into.
01:56And then Nick Claxton, as far as I can tell, like Zach Collins has only played so much even still
02:02Nick Claxton, the idea of him is that he can be a sort of lob threat and vertical spacer, which
02:08this Bulls team, this core has not really had yet.
02:11So it'll it'll be something I think Caleb Wilson and really Josh Giddey can use as they sort of develop.
