Official 2017 NBA Offseason Thread: Media Days begin

Slap yourself thinking Simmons can avg a triple his first year.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Keep in mind I said COME CLOSE you dip****s .

If he puts up something like 15, 10, and 7-8 that's coming close.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

He aint coming close. Fultz is gonna handle the ball too much for that to happen. 15, 6, 7 is realistic. You sounding like Buc Em and still in combined.

[addict4sneakers]

I don't think he averages 15. More like 12

You just posted the same line I did with less rebounds. Now tell me why 6 rebounds is realistic but 10 isn't?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

12 6 and 5 ....i think Simmons struggles to score. People overrating him like crazy.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I'm saying 7 rebounds and I don't think you need somebody to tell you the difference between 7 and 10 rebounds.

I don't think he averages 15. More like 12

I think he'll be forced to score cuz Embiid is gonna miss games.

Point out where I asked you to explain to me the difference between 7 and 10...

 

[addict4sneakers]

Fultz would pick up the scoring load in that case.

I can see Simmons getting you 12/8/6

 

[ill steelo]

Lamar Odom should be the bar. First few clipper years he was 16/7/5. Somewhere around there.

I don't doubt that simmons can get there one day, his vision is special, but not in year 1.

Hoping Simmons doesn't become as complacent as Odom

Odom is an interesting comparison. When he was on he was an incredible player. Definitely impacted the game more than his stats showed too.

I think it is pretty realistic. Both are/were meh shooters who like to go left a lot and have pretty solid passing ability.

I just think it's aggressive. Those averages you listed have only happened six times ever and one of those was Westbrook last year.

I said the same thing when Buc Em said it. I'm not knocking you for it though. I wouldn't be mad if he put the numbers up.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

You needed a break down when you thought I said 6.

Fultz would pick up the scoring load in that case.

Fultz is gonna get his regardless though.

I can't wait to revisit this once we're at the All-Star break.

John Wall vs. Sheldon Mac
"This ain't that fat boy you played earlier in the year," kids Wall about semi-letting Mac beat him in-season. https://t.co/J5T0PgaqLp

[a-friend]

10-10-9 is close to a triple double and it needs 82 more assists, crazy.
What's not close is...

10-9-8
10-11-8
10-12-8
15-15-8

Unless you have a 9+ in each category, with 82 games you are way off.

10-10-8 requires 164 more assists to average a triple double.

Basically you get it or you are not close.

 

[100027]

I think it is pretty realistic. Both are/were meh shooters who like to go left a lot and have pretty solid passing ability.

A Lamar Odom without the personal issues with focus/drugs is probably in #1 pick running in the average NBA draft.

Those only became a problem after he was drafted right? So when he was coming out of college he still wasn't the number 1 pick. But I know what you're getting at

lamar odom was drafted in 99 and he played college ball at rhode island. lamar odom in todays game is a number 1 pick no doubt.

 

[hardens beard]

Crocodile Rondo gotta stop lying to his self. He know damn well he right handed.

 

[Based Jesus]

A rookie is gonna come close to averaging a triple double
This is why Sixers fans cant have nice things
