**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

No I quite clearly stated franchise player, who also weren’t Elite Shoters or 7 footers... the list isn’t very deep...

Then there probably isn’t anyone who fits that super-narrow category. But I don’t know what that proves about Doncic because he still has time to make himself into an elite shooter. Dirk wasn’t Dirk the minute he got in the league.

When's the last time a rookie was unquestionably the best player on the team? My mind went to Durant but I'm sure there's another.

Top of my head Lebron, Durant, Blake.

 

[henz0]

Bron wasn’t the best on his team

They said on the Ringer Pod that Luka's deceleration is in the 92% percentile according to P3. That is absolutely an elite athletic trait.

Yep. They did. Kyle Kuzma then came flying in w/this take

KAT
Blake
Embiid

Only one true rookie here though

Is it really that hard to slow down when you're not that fast in the first place tho?

Elite Shooter is JJ Reddick, Kyle Korver, KD, Klay Thompson, etc etc... yes we can hope a prospect gets there but if we’re being realistic there’s no signs pointing to him being that level of shooter.

That’s important because given his athletic ability it lowers his ceiling quite a bit imo... that’s not to say he won’t be a good pro an As caliber guy even... but I think that’s his ceiling unless he gets to that level of shooting.

He’s played in a pro league before, where he was the best player on his team & was focused in on.... he shot 31 percent from three.. that combined with a month & a half of slightly above Average three point shooting just doesn’t give me enough confidence to say he’ll become Elite.. will he improve surely

Moronic coaching job last year. All he had to do was play him at the 5 and Miles at the 4. Surround with shooters. Instead felt the need to play Nick Ward alongside JJJ.

Weird seeing so many college teams not adapt to how the game is being played at the NBA level with more 4 out/5 out sets and lineups. Sean Miller was guilty of it last year with Ayton at Arizona too.

Coaches are the stars in college so they micro manage everything instead of letting the talent do what they do on the floor...leads to alotta hard to watch struggle ball , word to Boheim recruiting all American athletes to play in a 2-3 zone

 

[trynafeelmink]

Considering they are currently hiding him on the worst offensive player on the floor at all times... is this a hottake ?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Boston adds the better of the Clips/Grizzlies draft pick. You re-sign Rozier and he becomes your starting PG next season when Collison is off the books. Bob Williams gets legitimate minutes and perhaps shows that he can be a productive rotation big that you have under contract on a cheap rookie deal. Can draft a wing with the Clips/Grizzlies pick.

Does Indiana hang up immediately?

BIG *** SHOTGUN

Dont they do that to Kuzma as well?

Also hating on someone who you never met is corny to me.

 

[pmatic]

Too bad Turner and Sabonis can't seem to play with each other.

I was told rozier wasn't capable of being a starter..?

You're trolling at this point.

 

[frshstunna]

He’s the goods. Offensively he’s polished as ****. Don’t think I’ve seen a prospect that polished on offense since Bron/Durant

But yeah if you want to go further, is he athletic enough to not have to hide defensively? Which position is he supposed to guard? It seems he has trouble with lengthy, athletic wings. Will he be able to get his shot off against them in the playoffs?

bottom line, bruh is a franchise player. Of course he’s not perfect but he’s better than 99% of prospects.

Ima get my take off for today ...but 3 years from now he not eem gon be a top 3 from his draft class

By who?

Turner was supposed to breakout but dude plays with no fire and aggressiveness a lot of times
