I don't see any reason to weep for ten pounds difference in small guards. What, are they going to be picking up Jokic or Embiid on a roll to the hoop? Reed Sheppard isn't going to be having any different luck if he's slightly bigger. He might have trouble against a big guard like Brunson, like...

I highly doubt Wemby makes an All-NBA team but I bet he gets a handful of third team votes.

Eh... Dillingham's ballhandling is much better than 'nowhere close' to Kyrie. Dillingham's handles are absolutely superb and elite for his age.

Tim has 5 rings over three decades, and more accolades to boast (All-Star, All-NBA, All-Defense, ROY, etc) Jokic has 1 ring so far. Stat-wise, you can say Jokic is the better passer but worse defender. This really shouldn't even be a topic of conversation until Jokic hits 4 rings, at least.

10 lbs are quite a lot in that weight class. and Dillingham isn‘t the athlete Conley or Morant are (or was in Conley‘s case). Conley is very small, but he has a plus 7“ wingspan and he was a pretty strong guy already at the draft. (could jump out of the gym and was super fast). Dejounte was 170lbs...

Matas bad misses were way lower

Should go to Inter Miami so Missi can help him win another title...

I'm one of the biggest Dillingham fans on the board but he is nowhere close to the ballhandler Kyrie is or was at that age. If he was he'd be an almost guarantee to go #1.

WTF is in the water in France? USA is going to have it tough in international competitions for the next 2 decades.

Amen and Ausar shot .138 and .186 from three this season. Just astounding.

Risacher hasn't struck me as an especially good or bad rebounder when I saw him play. His rebounding numbers over the season are quite low but it's logical given that he spend a lot of time on the perimeter on both end of the court. Regarding a France/NBA rebounding comparison, I'm not sure but...

I was on the fence, then I thought: if Toronto is willing to go to such lengths in order to not have the pick convey now, then whatever the reason is (they expect their pick to be much worse next year, or they expect to tank much harder) the Spurs are unlikely to get a better deal. If this scenario...

Denver’s roster is pretty stuck. I don’t see how they improve much. The wolves could be even better next year. So I think we saw the nuggets at their peak last year. Jokic will still be great, but he’ll never be on Duncan’s level. That’s nothing to be ashamed of. There are only 10 or so players...

Matas's splits look pretty similar.

It's why he isn't top 10 on my Spurs board and 15 on my overall board. I believe his shot is broken.

How loaded the 2025 draft looks (at this point, things can always change) was why I wanted the Raptors pick to not convey (accepting the risk that is never does). The 2025 draft, and likely (Not certain, likely) ability to add a better #1 facilitator is part of why I'm lower on Dilly as a...

How the F does Denver only score 14 points in the 3rd quarter? 37 for the 2nd half.

Ah, that totally makes it okay to waste a transcendental talent like Wemby who likely won't have a significantly long career. Good call, what was I thinking?

It’s not just he’s a bad shooter, but the rumblings is that the shot looks outright broken. Pass, we already have Jeremy.

I agree. I’ve seen more takes on Dilly/Houston recently, which stuck me as odd at first. But the more I think of it he’s the ideal super sub/chNge of pace guy for them.

Looks like the third Thompson twin, last year I took a look at some of their games on YouTube (actual OTE games, not highlights) and this was one of the things that socked me the most, how bad their misses were, which is painfully obvious now in the NBA. Personally I wouldn't touch Holland, and...

Damn, I wouldn’t have thought Kyrie had 30lbs on Dillingham on their respective drafts. I recall Kryrie being super skinny.

I saw this from a random Hornets journalist about Ron Holland, and it really made me doubt that he can become a good shooter. https://x.com/british_buzz/status/1792504438923366542 1 out of 5 of your 3s being airballed/bricked means your shot is fricked.

Tre weighed in at 178 at the draft combine.

I don't really want to talk any crap about Jokic as he's a great player, but I wonder how he would have went against the 2005 Detroit Pistons frontline that Tim had to take on that series with two injured ankles by the time the time the finals started. I still think Game 7 was an amazing show of...

There has never been a point in time where Jokic has been in the same galaxy as Timmy. Timmy will end up having more all nba 1st team selections than Jokic will have all nba selections period :rollin

Hell, it was common to hear that Scoot Henderson was a generational talent for a long time, so good that he'd easily go number 1 in any other draft. People won't admit saying so, but they did. Frontrunning is very common among fans and professionals alike. IMO, the high school ranking system is...

That rebound total is actually quite encouraging though. What is the game like in France in terms of the physicality on the boards? If I remember correctly, Wemby was a sub 10rpg player for Mets92, right? He obviously turned that into 10.6 rpg his rookie year. If Risacher is a reliable rebounder,...

This is exactly my thinking. I would still be very happy with one or both of Risacher and Dilly overall, but I’m very intrigued and scared about a Castle/Holland pairing.

Quite a quiet game from Risacher today with 6 points and 11 rebounds in 25 minutes. Next for his team is the semi final against Monaco, who is obviously the heavy favorite.
