I agree with this.

I agree with your agreement.

I would never say "no way Niang starts" ... I wouldn't expect it early in the season.

But if it does happen soon out of the gate — if he's to that level, considering upsides of Percy/Booker: we have even more talent-depth than I anticipate. And I anticipate quite a bit.

Are you hung up on losing the tip? We get the ball at halftime to make up for it.

Gibson has a nice future but it's not like he is some proven stud that Niang will have to beat out.

That's not how it works.
