Nah, the problem is still your analysis.
Your opinion is that he is a #3D / second pair. The data shows he is a #1/2 top pair D. The data is right and you are wrong. If you cannot value players properly then you have no idea how to set expectations for trades or understand complex systems / markets.
Go find better sources of information and stop pretending that your opinion is a fact.
Tying this back to Byram for a moment. He is exciting because of his draft pedigree and his age but his data has serious red flags:
- He has missed a big pile of games in his short career due to injuries (concussions)
- He finally played a full season for the first time but his 82GP Pace (38) is actually declining from his 2021 (46) and 2022 (47) seasons. Declining production when you finally get an increase in ice time is not good to see
He may still be worth trying to acquire but there is risk.
