2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

[B Sox]

Considering Jordan Poole was looking like he was headed towards being another forgotten late 1st round pick after his first year and a half...how good he is now speaks to how much that system relied on him too.

That's incredibly fair.

My main issue was the utterly ridiculous comment of him being a "star"

He was really good/efficient in his role.

 

[Coupé It]

I’m out.

 

[アミーゴ]

Glad we are aligned

 

[antidope]

Alright...once again we allow extreme hyperbole from antidope to carry the convo.

Before this becomes a thing...let the record state that nobody else thinks Jordan Poole is a star. Just him

Furthermore...Tyler Herro is also not a star and they are absolutely on the same tier.

I already walked it back. Trying to be better.

I do think Jordan Poole could become a star though. He may end up in a Manu Ginobili-esque box sadly.

And that’s EXACTLY what you want out of a role player

Aligned here

 

[datznasty]

Jordan Poole has "it." **** what ya heard.

 

[pmatic]

Will be interesting tracking Poole. A young player like him already got validation with a ring. Will he want an increased minutes/shots/status? Almost assuredly.

 

[MajinZuub]

Poole and Herro have the same ceiling

 

[Mister Meaner]

120 million for RJ Barrett? Couldn't be me

120 mil today is not 120 mil from yesterday

I personally have a hard time evaluating RJ, who does he compare to? What's his ceiling?

The floor is better Jimmy Butler.

RustyShackleford get in here

The floor??

EYE hope you're referring to regular season Jimmy.

 

[D StaXX]

Same tier. Streaky shooters that can get hot and play little to no defense.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Notices what is being discussed...

Manu was a star tho.

Championships? Check.
All-NBA? Check.
All-Star? Check.

 

[wavycrocket]

Shouts to Jeanie Baby

 

[Mister Meaner]

The floor??

EYE hope you're referring to regular season Jimmy.

Has the build & mindset to become elite 2 way player.

However, he’s a much better scorer than Jimmy [with more seasoning].

And I personally want son to stay as the 2 guard.

 

[wavycrocket]

Notifications STILL trash

 

[ballinsam23]

Man I can’t put Manu and Poole in the same sentence. You could play Manu 48 minutes in a elimination game. Poole has the juice offensively, but he can’t be on the floor sometimes. Teams will just attack him.

 

[lovehateself]

If he’s a star what’s Jalen Brunson

a knick

 

[アミーゴ]

a knick

A National Champ

 

[lawdog1]

Still taking Jeannie over Jimmy and Johnny.

 

[antidope]

Manu was a star tho.

Championships? Check.
All-NBA? Check.
All-Star? Check.

I meant moreso in terms of how he's utilized and with the talent surrounding him/talent in the league overall he may not get the opportunity to reach his full potential. Hope I'm wrong though I like Jordan Pooles game a lot.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

If Manu was a star then so was Jamal Crawford

 

[MVP]

Still taking Jeannie over Jimmy and Johnny.

I mean why stop there... she's done more than Steve Ba...nevermind
