1, I'm happy to be wrong, but let's not re write history. He regressed last year. Regressed in basically every way.
worse shooting, bad post play, poor decision making. giving up blow bys on defense.
so saying "finally" as if I should have said "Scottie Barnes is Good" last year when he was putting up .520 ts% obviously doesn't make sense.
2. I was low on his ceiling I'm pretty sure I said at the time I thought his floor was pretty high.
my disappointment with the pick is I wanted to take a swing on a riskier pick with star upside. again totally happy to be wrong.
but lets not act like it's been some straight line upwards for Scottie.
and let's wait and see if this 40% shooting from 3 holds up.
He's not doing anything differently?? He's shooting 40% from 3 on high volume that's pretty different.

Anyone who banked on a guy like Julius Randle deserves hardship. Dudes game is fraudulent.
And outside of the Brunson, the whole squad is trash.
3 left handers in the same starting lineup is asking for trouble

Last year was a dumpster fire for that entire team. The guys turned on Nurse and turned on each other. Selfish play all in that starting lineup1, I'm happy to be wrong, but let's not re write history. He regressed last year. Regressed in basically every way.

Yet he still showed consistent playmaking chops, vision and continued not to be afraid to shoot from anywhere on the floor including off dribble. Clearly had a sophomore slump but so did a lot of other sophs from his class and happens with a lot of second year players in league history
He really isn't doing anything that different from his first two seasons, in terms of his shot profile, tendencies and IQ. He's simply developing (i.e. his shot) like any prospect with good potential should in year 3 to coincide with key changes to the point guard and coach
The team still may be a losing one but the individual pieces of Barnes, OG and Siakam are pretty damb good and would be winning pieces on better established cores

Any marquee player entering year 8 or 9 that hasn't won yet is going to be subject to trade rumors. Just a cycle.

Wait a minute, so Jamal Murray indeed took a jump then since at the time you were saying he didn't he was at 50/50/100 splits on career high ppgHe's not doing anything differently?? He's shooting 40% from 3 on high volume that's pretty different.

The rumors aren’t the issue. It’s the garbage packages revolving the Knicks

I mean the last time this came up it literally came from the Philadelphia Inquirer.
We’re too busy dealing with Julius right now.
This isn’t all on New York.

I don’t have an issue with rumors, it’s thinking Morey would willingly accept Julius Randle, Evan Fournier of all things as headliners for an Embiid package

The reporter in question was the ONLY reporter to mention it. And to top it off, he’s the one reporter that’s least connected to the FO
And
buc em

He wouldn’t, I said before it would be a ridiculous trade for the Sixers to accept.
But why are these rumors coming from Philadelphia?
Who’s leaking? Who’s unhappy? Who’s trying to get leverage? Idk

Shaq isn't off to a good start this season with the Bol Bol and now this lol
The 6ers are actually doing really well to start and they have ammo to make another big trade to solidify their starting lineup
Why would they blow it up and take on New York's inconsistent guys instead

i know it may be a hot take but i'll go out on a limb & say Julius Randle won't shoot 27% over a full season

Shaq probably just saw this from two weeks ago and posted it. He’s always late.

He’ll shoot 30%
