Yeah no rational person can deny that Cason is currently better than Giddey in almost every aspect except passing.
That said… if he reached his potential as a big guard who can properly utilize his size and above 30% shooting and can defend decently this will give us a massive edge against other teams. He already shown flashes but it’s just flashes we need consistency from our starting point guard.
What we should ask is how likely will he reach this potential? Do we have the means to help him develop? And do we have the time to wait for him to get there?
To be honest I have no answer for these questions
Giddey isn’t a bad player I think he’s bad fit. There was always going to be a guy who is more talented than he fits on our roster and that person would wind up being more valuable as an asset than as a player. I suspect that person is Giddey. Giddey is very good when he’s not on the court with Shai. Cason isn’t at all better than Giddey.
