Jerian Grant and Thanasis for MCW?

Who said the dude is on the block?
They have a real problem as they have so many mismatched parts. Some would say they have 4 potential future all-star talents (Middleton, Giannis, Parker, and Monroe) but are a horrible fit together, and none are guaranteed to be great, just pretty good. In a league that values shooting, they have a throwback center, 2 athletic forwards who can't shoot and an oversized PG who were ideal for the "new era" of mid 2000s basketball, but are lacking for this era. I have heard a lot of Bucks fans doubt Giannis and Parker's ability to be great players in time. Giannis looks to me like a modern day Shawn Marion as far as contribution, but not a future #1 option on a good team. Parker lacks the shooting and defensive abilities and is a true tweener right now. MCW is a tough sell because of his lack of shooting. For that you might as well stick with Grant and see where that goes. This probably isn't a good system for MCW. Middleton is the one constant in that group that fits into any system as a 3-and-D wing, plus he can do a little more. That group of players on paper was one of the best young groups in the league, now the way the league is changing, they just look awkward.
Mayo is a shooter and can play the point, he might be a good replacement for Jose. Just saying
MCW would struggle in the Triangle because he can't shoot a lick. It'd be like Grant, but with more turnovers.
If you think Jerian cant shoot, watch MCW. Pass.
MCW is ball stopper and needs ball on hands all the time. Hard to imagine that he can play with Melo.

nothing like trading for a guy who shoots 30% from 3 land and avgs 3 turnovers..

I think you're right- I know people are hopeful of landing a good PG via a trade, but realistically I think we'll end up players of the calibration of OJ Mayo, Lou Williams etc.
MCW is in the same boat as Grant. He is a terrible shooter
I thought he would be way better. Talk about a guy with talent unrealized.

That's not a bad thing. I actually think Lou Williams would for well here. Mayo too for that matter.

Which brings me to his age. He's roughly the same age as Grant.
MCW is undisciplined. He might have the wrong people in his corner.
Still he has great size and potential. He's ahead of the curve as well with 2 years of nba experience. He doesn't lack confidence that's for sure.

The only good thing about MCW is that he played at Syracuse.
