"I hate calling young players busts before their fourth year"

Mans ain't even playing 15 minutes and barely played half a season.

On a team where every young player was getting substantial minutes. They basically mothballed Tyson Chandler to play they youngins.

He was jumped in the rotation by Alan Williams fresh from China.

 

[SadBoi]

He was injured and needed surgery and he is still 19 years old.

 

[JD617]

He was 18 to start the season. Youngest player in the league last year. I just think it's too early to tell one way or the other.

 

[100027]

Not to mention injured most of the year...

Did ya'll know Nicholas Tskitishvili was Summer League MVP?

EXACTLY. People will name every excuse in the book for this kid for the next couple years til they finally admit he's straight up garbage. Furkan Korkmaz is like 4 months older than him and looked better this past summer league straight off a damn plane from Turkey in his first ever NBA experience.

Dragan was decent in the summer league

10 months. Closer to a full year than 4 months.

If Bender was a Sixer...

We would ******* hate him like we hate Okafor. He's gotta be one of the softest, most scared dudes in the league. He's the anti-Dario.

And actually Furkan is 5 months older than Bender. He just turned 20 two days ago...Bender will be 20 in November.

....we know how the narrative would go

Speaking of "busts" Exum may not be austrailian Kobe but I think he will still be a valuable player potential legit starter

He seems too smart to wash out of the league and his size definitely helps

 

[bonafide101]

How did the Blazers Nets trade work if Crabbe makes 18 mill n Nicholson makes 6 mill? Don't salaries gotta be similar?

Nike actually went light. Not too shabby. I've see way worse designs for some of the other squads. Stones just get 2 jerseys though? Thunder got 5..

Pelicans cut quinn cook...who wants em

 

[addict4sneakers]

Fran called Exum the Australian Michael Jordan

Not if you have cap space

He's great on the defensive end but his offense needs a lot of work.
- No jump shot
- Only drives on way
- Only uses one hand

He has the tools and potential, he just needs to put it together.

Below is his best game and you already know how predictable his game is.

Huh. You might be right about his age. Either wikipedia or bballref has the wrong DOB. Wiki has him at July '97, bballref at Jan '97.

 

[hardens beard]

I wanna see how Exum would play in a more open offense.

think Nets still have a ton of cap space to absorb it so money doesn't have to match

ALL IN on it. I accept Reggie and Avery in the backcourt. Hopefully Reggie knee is fully healed. He is not the best, but injury did hold him back last season for sure.

They got 2 more coming too. That is home and Away OG.

 

[MVP]

All I know is the Lakers better be getting a classic jersey this year.
