During one of ESPN's marathon coverage sessions of the draft combine, one of the commentators whom the others pointed out had called many Kentucky games, and whose name escapes me, said something like "it wasn't so much that Dillingham was a bad defender, it's that he didn't even try."

I hope mavs get swept, can't fathom a scenario where I'd want them to win this series over the Timberwolves. EFF THE MAVS

Good looking out! Interesting that they might feel Clingan can develop a 3pt shot. I have a hard time fully grasping what a long-term Rockets lineup looks like with Clingan in the start 5. Something like this below? Amen Green Jabari Sengun Clingan Lots of length there, could potentially...

...and how's it like Kobe's crash, Effy?

This right here

I agree, but to me he sounds like an immature 19 y.o. kid who lacked proper coaching and went through a bunch of different programs where winning wasn't really the goal and no one really instilled good habits or pushed him to improve. If you watch the rest of the interview he says he'd go...

:pop: Sounds like someone who has gotten over himself. My kind of guy.

I've been very consistent in discussing Dillingham's problems. This choad is just bringing up Kyrie for no apparent reason. I mean, yes, Kyrie is better? Yeah? What does that prove?

I'd like to push you out at 30k...san both pull cords.

Didn't Harlan have a during a game, Spurm? Bob Neal used to have that call when Nowitski would hit a 3... "Nowitski for 3,,,,,,Auctung baby, auctung!!!"

RIP this Hero May Allah welcome him with open arms and 55 virgins with fat asses :tu https://x.com/ShadowofEzra/status/1792607874327142829

Those booty holes got tight. You couldn't a dragged a straight pin outta those Denver booty holes with a 20-mule team. But wasn't the grace from both teams immediate post game a kind sight? And it was genuine.

lol @ white knighting for Robert Dillingham and having the nerve to call someone else a jock rider

Yes, and Dillingham's were elite in high school and he is not far behind. I mean, have you watched him? Or just a Kyrie jock rider.

I liked his effort in the late season games of his I watched, but what a strange thing to say. "I don't always try and I don't always know what I'm supposed to do" is not exactly the kind of admission that likely appeals to the Spurs.

Sometimes I don't know the game plan so I'm halfway going, but I feel like when I actually know the game plan and everything I'm a great...

Updated the original post to include information being discussed in multiple threads and around the internet.

That's just mainstream media nonsense because Jokic is the closest thing to Timmy if we talk personality. They can't digest that the best player in the league is someone who gives zero fucks about what anyone thinks. Just look at his minutes and usage, he's one of the most durable players in the...

If it weren't for the fact that we already have ATL (picking #1 this year), CHI-Top10 Protected (picking #11 this year) and our own (picking #4 this year) I would have been with you. No matter how talented next year's draft, I don't want 4 FRPs.

Yeah, all solid points. I agree. I will add, I just hope one day Victor is in this conversation. The kid has a chance to be that great. I really do believe in him. And one other thing, I don't follow Jokic closely enough at all, but does he actually work as hard on his game as some of the...

Picking any perimeter players with a non-existant shouldn't happen again. We got plenty of those already. As already mentioned Thompson twins were far better prospects than anyone in this draft and would probably both go in top3 and yet neither one of them has looked good. Modern NBA is all...

This is an interesting deep dive. I wonder how this compares with someone like Sochan (who often misses badly as well, and who I'm not looking to replicate on this team as far as shooting goes).

Irving's handles were NBA level elite in high school and he might be the best ballhandler in the history of the league.

I didn't say it's meaningless. Please, for God's sake, read what people write. I said that after a certain point the small variations don't matter a whole lot. Funnily enough, there was a good analysis I think on nba_draft where the guy sifted through years of drafts. Centers who are drafted...

This is where RD is potentially improvable. He's very quick and does get around screens. It's the rest where he's garbage -- disengages, starts ball-watching, bad rotations. But he has the quickness to navigate screens, plus his shiftiness with the ball also helps here. He's very light and quick...
