Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[Vincent Van Goat]

 
Wouldn't take Lonzo ahead of Jackson and I'd struggle a little picking him up over Smith/Fox

I'll take my chances with Ball over Smith and Fox

I'm going with the instincts, passing, IQ and size. He will be able to score adequately IMO as well

Carmelo has 3 gold medals

and carmelo has a ncaa ring

It's definitely been a disappointing career for him, I'll give you both that.

Sounds like I need to pay the lakers thread a visit

View media item 2374478

The Lakers brought in Magic this year in hopes that the NBA would bless him with the #1 pick.

Celtics haven't had a #1 pick ever in the history of the draft.

In General or just the NBA?

NBA.

I know it's a 9 game stretch so small sample size and all that.

But the only players to average equal to or greater than 23.8 ppl, 5.2 apg & 41.6 3pt% for a full season are:

Curry (2015-2016 & 2013-2014 seasons)
Bird (85-86 & 84-85 seasons)
MJ (94-95 season) (the season where he returned and only played 17 games)

Only 3 of the greatest NBA players in history.

And Dlo just turned 21 a month ago
The Future is real bright

So basically only curry and bird. Don't know why MJ was included

Damn I have been missing out

Comparing a 9 game stretch to full seasons

I need to go back 100 pages on a slow work day

IT and Morris come back for this game...

I should've bought tickets

Lonzo going to be fine. That ***** just got the juice man

.

@PCH Roadwinder done coined him "StarBoy".....and that **** fits too well

.
 

He really do got the juice. You do everything as a senior at Chino then go to Pauley and turn it back into a national power. He literally has UCLA playing like a semi-structured Chino Hills and look at them, flourishing. STARBOY. Best player in America right now.

But...

If i'm being unbiased he has some IMO, SERIOUS red flags that make me glad that I don't have to be the one to decide to draft him 1st or 2nd. Because it's hard not to. But what he doesn't do well jumps off the page for me. He has no gigs with the ball in his hands, isn't that great at going left, which makes playing PnR with him tough. His shooting technique hinders him, he can't shoot going right I mean..

I said this before, people get impressed with him shooting that far out but there's a reason why he's doing that and it's because of his shooting form, and his lack of gigs off the bounce.

Not all bad with Lonzo, but it's why i'm 50/50 on him being a really good NBA player.

Watching John Wall zip the ball to open shooters is a joy to watch.

That's my dawg man

@ Dwight not being a HOFer

ESPN is an NT'er

They steal our questions and debate points on the reg

Porzingis showing his displeasure with the Knicks. Hopefully he smartens up and joins a real NBA team when his rookie contract is up.

Melo too. Melo on his way to LAC this offseason. I wouldn't be surprised if he's on his A game tonight to win some fan support for the future move.

Carmelo Anthony loves the big stage of MSG and playing in New York, but does he want a change of scenery? https://t.co/tRC21Kisrx pic.twitter.com/FZn1TJq9C4

I did say small sample size

Dlo been averaging that in the 9 games he started post all star break (since Lou got traded)

We'll see if he can stay consistent.
