We can start with Samuel. Samuel, you are on the air.

Hey guys, how you going? Good, how are you?

We are going great.

That's good. I just had a bit of a conversation with one of my friends about

Lou Dott of all people and like want to know what he's worth like in a trade in the abstract.

Like I wouldn't say how much I think he's worth. So I want to like alter your thinking,

but I want to know what I think you guys think he's worth.

Yeah, I guess if we're thinking about trying to trade him, I don't know, I mean, I guess probably

the place to start is just what is Lou Dott right now at this particular time.

So I think of Dott as one of the league's better perimeter defenders. Now it is generally true that

perimeter defense is less valuable than interior defense depending on whether we're talking

regular season versus playoffs and the versatility of that. And then Dott offensively is interesting

because he's still somewhat of a low volume player. I mean, not all the way.

He's as he used to just up to 20% but he's not doing a ton of playmaking and I don't think

you really want him to anyway. So that's not necessarily like a dimerit making making us

threes at a decent rate so far. So I like Dott. I like him a lot. I think that also players with his

physical like, you know, being strong and developing more nuance to his offensive game.

Generally, those guys can can do well later on and remember, Dott's only 21. He only played that

one year at Arizona State. So I think that he like, I don't think he's at necessarily the level

of like a, we've talked about the Robert Covington return of that being, you know, two first run picks

or an equivalent player. So like, Arja Hampton in the first or something like that. I don't know

that he's all the way there yet though Dott played, you know, his defense looked good in the playoffs.
