And that's before talking about TP's off ball movement and BBIQ (underestimated). He was a very smart player, and his agility and abilty to sneak his way under the bigs to pull an early lay up before you could even prepare to block it were unique. He was not just fast running, but very fast in the...
I truly hope Wemby only provides character advice about Risacher - or any other French prospect. The last thing we need is a Kevin Durant completely undermining any good judgment about team-building and talent.
Furphy's game is pretty dissimilar to Buzelis.
Buzelis is definitely in the Franz Wagner mold -- although he's nowhere the playmaker. You're looking at more of a 4 who can hopefully bang and get rebounds, block shots on the weak side, etc.
Furphy is sort of more of a perimeter, 3-and-D...
We don't know that, it's 100% bs runours
I have doubts as well but if Wemby was actually lobbying, considering his IQ and knowledge of ZR's potential that would actually be a green light for me to take him
Agree. I see BB point and do think its likely Spurs trade/consolidate eventually but theres so much up in the air Spurs can keep these picks and have everyone fight for spots.
Graham + Cedi are gone most likely. Mamu may be too.
But beyond them at a minimum these guys should all be on the...
Crescent City, California (it's up by the Redwoods) has the most beautiful and comfortable year-round weather/climate in the USA. You really don't need HVAC and that's saying something because I get miserable anytime the day temps are over 72 and nights over 60. It also never gets close to freezing...
Because they have over a dozen second rounders and nearly that many firsts, can’t onboard that many players, and the higher second has more value. I’ll go out on a limb, and say this will be a sort of policy going forward.
It’s going to be a pain no matter what with a roster this young. But, Branham/Wesley may both be gone after next season or during. Wesley fell off a cliff as this past season ended. Branham is 50/50 at best to get a QO.
Because it'll be a pain to develop a third rookie while they're also still trying to develop Sochan, Branham, Wesley, and Cissoko. Especially when that third rookie is likely to have a way lower ceiling than the first two they take.
I’d go Castle at 4 and hope he can at least partly be our PG solution. Edey at 8, he’s running circles around Clingan at the combine just like he did playing against him. Edey is a can’t miss prospect, Brook Lopez on steroids. And yes, he CAN shoot the 3 ball OMG who knew!?!
Mocking Clingan...
No, that's not the argument, it's the fact that getting Trae Young costs a hell of a lot more both in terms of assets (multiple picks spanning multiple years) plus a hefty salary that even requires a big extension (you're not going to pay a lot to then let him walk), and under those circumstances...
Who's hysterical here about a kid who has yet to play one NBA game and might not even be as starter in this league, making those kind of comparison with a 3 time all star and an HOFer?
And the way you guys compare college games/stats with NBA game/stats, to say Dilly is this, Dilly is that, or...
It’s sounding more and more like we need to take Edey at 8, he’s killing it the combine and capable of chewing up and spitting out Clingan as he already just proved head to head.
That just leaves what to do with pick 4.
As far as pick 35, why would we assume that because the Spurs traded/sold...
He’s no where near TP athletic ability - he wont be getting to the rim and putting pressure on teams like that. It’s a huge reason why his value is questionable. A small guard that’s not an Uber athlete that is not a 3 level scorer but one that relies on jump shots without the ability to penetrate...
It's quite obvious what is the deal behind conflicting reports about Topic's injury:
- Givony's source is Topic's agent.
- Serbian journalist sources are people from the red star team.
Red star medical staff think that Topic will need a surgery. Topic will go to Croatia to consult the...
Late June last year was the worst I had ever seen out here. One day it was like 101 with a dewpoint in the 80s in the middle of the day. San Antonio set its official high for heat index ever recorded three times in a span of four days around then at 117, and New Braunfels was 124 heat index. All...
I DO NOT miss that fucking swamp weather. We're just cracking the 90s for the first time this year, with lows in the 50s. You really can't beat California weather.
Buzelis to me is a shooter who is not good at shooting. He shoots 27% from 3 which is worse than Sochan and he is much weaker, has worse handle and worse D. Only plus is that he is taller. He could improve of course and really needs to.
Is hollinger paid to post so many wrong assertions, approximations and omissions, re-writting history and... not checking the stats he's talking about?
- His pre-draft season Batum had a pretty difficult start before finshing better with his Le Mans team who went 2-12 in Euroleague.
- Batum...
Great player but whines a lot
Hm complaining to the ref at the end of the game that he fouled an OKC player as soon as he touched the ball was funny though
Looks less stormy than last year or 2020/2021, but not as hot and dry for the second half of May compared to 2022.
in 2022, for reference, the second half of May was pretty much every day in the 100s or worse except for maybe like 2 days.
