Basically trading away Trevor Booker made Simmons better lol

Man I legit forgot about China Klay & Bledsoe's tweet

 

[addict4sneakers]

addict4sneakers how bout that boy “Croc Rondo”

Sayyyyyyy

Great passer.
Very good defender
Obviously rebound advantage is obvious


09 rondo vs 17 Ben are pretty similar.

But for real Ben been better than I thought he would. I apologized in like December.

MVP in Ben Simm future?

Or does he have to leave Embiid for that?

I think he can be better than Embiid honestly

Swapping Booker for Ilyasova and TLC/Bayless for Belinelli has made everybody better

He better figure out how to shoot.

 

[BIG FISH]

He better figure out how to shoot.

Good chance he does that imo

 

[addict4sneakers]

He better figure out how to shoot.

And score in the 4th quarters

 

[B Sox]

Good chance he does that imo

Is it?

 

[BIG FISH]

He’s a rookie.
Giannis is 32 and still can’t shoot.

 

[wavycrocket]

No chance unless he switches his shooting hand.

Big difference between being a 75% foul shooter and a 50% one

*23
Giannis also hasn't been playing basketball his entire life

You don’t have to be a good foul shooter to be able to shoot. Being a good ft shooter just means you’re a more naturally talented shooter.

 

[B Sox]

Byron James Doakes Scott is a moron.

 

[B Sox]

So a guy that has shown zero ability to shoot a basketball in high school, college, and thus far in the NBA is all of the sudden going to figure it out and be a reliable shooter?

Blake did

Name a career sub .600 foul shooter that could shoot?

And was he a high volume FT at that

[wavycrocket]

Very fair point.

Kidd








Lonzo

 

[addict4sneakers]

We could bring up Blake and that’s a good point but he was a high volume guy from the foul line his whole career.
