The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

[pums]

Honestly props to the rookies who take bad shots out of the gate takes a lot of balls . I knew green wouldnt lack confidence

Poku came from the second div in europe to taking contested step backs

gave this game its own thread

Guard play especially has come a long way in those 25 years. Kyrie has the best handles in the golden era of point guard play. He’s also one of the more efficient high volume scorers in league history.

He still no AI though. He could never carry a team on his back for a career nor even a lone successful season.

I'm still riding with Ja over Zion long term. Hell, short term Ja can stay healthy, he's made the playoffs and avg 30.

Zion will never play a full season. Don’t think 80% of a season either

 

[lovehateself]

telling people they are not surprised. wut?

 

[pums]

Theis would look really good on Golden St (could use some additional size if they don't want to play Wiseman) or Utah (allows them to go a bit smaller and give a different look come playoff time). Can really plug him anywhere, but those two immediately come to mind.

I was thinking of them getting Wood for one of their young guys . Wiseman or Moody

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

it's subjective. it's a surprise to me.

but if you went 100% on all your draft evaluations good for you.

No, you just have some noticeable exaggerations on prospects for no reason

re: Suggs and giddy, they are staying the course of their trajectories in their first few games

Suggs isn’t quite a pure pg but he’ll be fine. He’s got the dog in him in combo with some natural hooper feel. Good that he has other guards that can fill the role

Giddy is already proving he can be a connector type and also in a no pressure situation. It’s still free sga

 

[nick.]

The new rules affecting Jim?

so....he will complain about it

telling people they are not surprised. wut?

it's just funny to say the 4th, 5th, & 6th overall picks playing well is a surprise

At what point will we give up on the dream of Zion getting his weight under control? This is year 3 of being a professional basketball player.

At some point he is what he is.

We gotta wait until he leave the pelicans first

He played well last year and was only taken out by a hand injury

That, he doesn’t appear to be in great shape and, since Jim just likes to hoop, hang with rappers and support working single moms, the Kyrie circus is probably irritating him.

you sound ridiculous, it's my subjective evaluation.

I did not know if Giddey first step would limit the effectiveness as a scorer against NBA athletes.
if you knew that it wouldn't congrats nostradamus.


Suggs looks even worse than I expected so far, based on my expectations.
if he looks exactly as you expected. congrats NBA draft genius.

If Embiid and Jokic got less fat, Zion can get less fat lol

He needs a vet to call him out

No, you saying barnes was a fifth tier prospect and having tons of guys ahead of him is what’s ridiculous

 

[osh kosh bosh]

so....he will complain about it



it's just funny to say the 4th, 5th, & 6th overall picks playing well is a surprise

the 5th pick is playing terribly. so i guess you should be surprised?

Giddey was considered a reach at 6.

 

[datznasty]

Last one. Maybe I'll spoiler them going forward. There's ton more, but 5 videos per is oppressive Methodical Management

 

[coldcity]

 

[osh kosh bosh]

No, you saying barnes was a fifth tier prospect and having tons of guys ahead of him is what’s ridiculous

You want to take a victory lap on 2 games fine go ahead.
i'm sure you have never been wrong on a prospect.

 

[WASHED KING]

He played well last year and was only taken out by a hand injury

I'm not saying he isn't a good player but after 3 years of "If he can get his weight under control" conversations maybe he just won't ever get it "under control".

If Embiid and Jokic got less fat, Zion can get less fat lol

He needs a vet to call him out

I know it's possible, but will he? The longer it goes the less of a chance I see it happening.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Of course we all have, I’m just saying there’s noticeable exaggerations for no good reason
