Facts.

Your savior Cupper Flagg is just going to be good, not great.

Are the generational ones seen in college? Like, do we know already?

Outside of a handful, many times the generational tag doesn't hit til the league, and the ones that were crowned early end up injury prone or busts.

bron damn near a myth when you think about it. unnatural prospect, potential and follow through. Steph on the other end of the mythic spectrum. No hype, low expectation, mid-level ceiling, unbelievable follow through.

Many times though, generational tags come later. And is only ever really used for like 4-5 guys. Anomalies. Outliers.

How many coaches come out of LA, and you still have that same problem suiting up stat chasing. Sooner or later they realize it ain't the coach.

Jennings named 3 of the same dudes.

Flagg is good but I said a while ago that he’s probly not even the best prospect in his class (I got him at 3 right now)…You take him #1 for all the extra stuff that comes with it, and if you a struggling franchise like the Wiz you gotta pick him for the buzz and marketing

Facts. Lost 3 employees in the past month and a half, 2 of them last week on thanksgiving…

The job openings were up asap

I understand the business must carry on of course, but its definitely a wake up call that the show goes on with or without you, so dont ever feel bad taking time off for yourself.

Lost, retired or quit? I hope they didn't die, chances of three employees dying the same week WILD.

Warriors still got that thick Indian girl working their social media.

Thick Indian girl, I um need proof or a name to concur.

Shout out JJ Reddit

YIKES, this is not going to end well. Dude in his first year getting clowned, this on Bron. He can tighten up the youngsters if they still respect him, however they will start to lose respect for Bron if he isn't giving it his all.

Hard to be generational in a year, players aren't staying more than a year in college. And even then everyone is trying to shine, hard to stand out. Also factor in coaches adjusting your play to get the wins to keep there jobs. So many factors working against players showing they are generational until like you said a few years in the league. Bron was definitely a unicorn came in just as the door was closing, stars aligned perfectly.

I don't know I'm seeing Christian Laettner 2.0.

Draymond fit makes sense for a cat like him lol

Black AF1, makes sense.

 

[B Sox]

He’s not the next Larry Bird or some **** like that but seems really easy to project how he’d be an awesome pro as a modern 4 with a great motor playing with better spacing.

 

[pmatic]

Kid is still only 17 (18 later this month I think).

 

[headdetective]

He mid, and that’s fine

 

[B Sox]

Yeah he’s also like the youngest player in college

 

[headdetective]

If you supposed to be HIM, that shouldn’t matter much, IMO.

Trade Lebron while he has value and can get you some good assets. This his pick for coach. He ran out Darvin Ham. He got his son picked and he’s trash.

Lakers simply will never be a defensive team with Lebron. He doesn’t play defense, he flops and cries the entire game. And that gets old fast for teammates. You can see AD is just no longer locked in.

You can point to stats but it’s just meh padding at this point. It’s not translating to wins.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

right on time.

He does a lot of small forward type stuff and I think he can be a lead ball handler if he wrangles it in and the handle gets stronger. A lot of my vision of him is based on him being 17

 

[elpablo21]

The aura is definitely fading for Coop


But that's what happens when you choose a **** school like Duke

Think his shooting definitely needs to be better. Otherwise he’s basically putting up the same numbers Tatum did in college. And he’s 9 months younger doing it.
