So you woke up and chose violence today, eh? Now we are about to get some sermons on the potential of yutes all morning
Tho I root for their failure daily, I hope Ben Simmons & the Nets take a big poo on the 76ers. Well, Ben specifically. It’s unlikely he’ll earn a career high, whatever it is, so this is the next best.
Hope he hits the game winning 3 to end it.
She heard about that Wanyama kid and is positioning herselfmore like looking for someone new to gain popularity for the Krap clan.
You cant have a low basketball iq, low motor , and bad handsI was never a huge fan of Wiseman,
but I figured, catch the ball dunk the ball
see the the ball, block the ball.
is pretty solid floor for a guy with his physical tools.
but he can't even do that.
I really don't understand why he can't be prime DeAndre Jordan.
low IQ defender, who makes up for it with his physical tools.
Which is weird because coming out of college he was praised by being a "smart kid". so this low IQ defense comes at a bit of a surprise.
How are some teams consistently pretty good at it? Trading the picks was the obvious move thoDrafting is random. Water is wet.
Albert Einstein prob didn’t have high basketball iq.Which is weird because coming out of college he was praised by being a "smart kid". so this low IQ defense comes at a bit of a surprise.
Lamelo is all jokes but has an incredible basketball IQ. Harden doesn’t know how to use the internet is a savant on the courtyah tbh I think that's white basketball executives getting enamoured by a black guy who is "well spoken"
real world intelligence =/= bball iq.
Festus Ezili was a originally going to school to be a doctor I believe.
he's a low iq basketball player.
Harrison Barnes, HOF "he's so well spoken" guy,
not a particularly high IQ on the court
Chris Egi is the smartest dude ever to go through the Canada basketball program.
Harvard Valedictorian.
Brain dead on the court.
pattern recognition/spatial awareness =/= book smarts.
If we go down this revisionist history path, let's say the Warriors select LaMelo. They obviously don't get Poole at pick 28 in 2019. So does that mean they go Nic Claxton?
And the only reason for the PPG difference is Wiseman's higher volume
Which teams are these? Not even being combative, drafting is just more Meh/Misses than hits.How are some teams consistently pretty good at it? Trading the picks was the obvious move tho
The Lakers are an example of a team with a good draft record over the past decade. Spurs used to be pretty good at getting good value late in the draft. Steph/Klay/Dray are examples of great scouting. Wiseman/Kuminga/moody the oppositeWhich teams are these? Not even being combative, drafting is just more Meh/Misses than hits.
I could easily say drafting Steph/Klay/Dray supplants all the misses. Steph alone does, its a top 10 player ever.
Trading the picks I think pretty clearly produces a better result for the fact that you're getting a proven commodity versus an unknown. You don't think trading the #2 pick in a good draft yields a better on court product than whatever Wiseman has given since then? Also I don't think it's that unrealistic to extend a dynasty when you end up with an asset like the #2 pick. Any championship team could realistically be expected to extend their window in that situationDrafting is mostly a crapshoot and winning championships is hard. Drafting Lamelo or trading the picks doesn't guarantee the same or better outcome than another immediate championship. All the guys you picked getting a ring is a win. An extension of the dynasty was always an unrealistic expectation.
