THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[Vincent Van Goat]

Capela is absolutely a useful piece to the team. I just don’t think him and Collins playing together is going to be their best option. My guess is they close games with Tray, Collins, and 3 wings. They really need to make the most out of this draft pick. Especially with the new Collins contract on deck and then Tray the following year.

Yup both Schlenk and Rosas are under pressure in the draft and in the off season to make real impactful winning upgrades

I have faith in both of them to get it done

Empty stats. He’s good, but no GM is picking him over KP.

Rebounding. Collins
Durability. Collins
Off the court. Collins
Efficiency. Collins

I still believe in KAT, unbelievable yr last yr too

Nah stats aren’t empty. Team just sucks. I’d still take KP as well though.

Get him a rim protector and a level up will occur

If your big is a go to offensive option he needs to be a capable on ball and help defender. Legit if one of your best players is a big and doesn’t play defense you’ll never win. It’s why I can’t stand behind players who put up ridiculous empty stats like KAT, Cousins, etc.

Thats not taking away from how good they are, I’m talking from strictly a winning standpoint.

Hasn't John Collins literally played 90% of his NBA career at the 4? He didn't play the 5 until he came back from suspension this season.

Yeah with Dedmon I'm pretty sure... but Dedmon and Capela are different as well

 

[B Sox]

Yeah with Dedmon I'm pretty sure... but Dedmon and Capela are different as well

Think I said this a couple months ago when he got traded back to ATL, but Deadmon is a better fit with Collins than Capela. More versatile defensively and can space the floor better.

 

[BIG FISH]

KAT is arguably better than KP on defense.
KP just blocks more shots lol

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah this is the second time I forgot they got Dedmon back well they got pieces now Schlenk and Pierce need to put the puzzle together

They desperately need another ball handler and could use some additional shooting

 

[addict4sneakers]

KAT is arguably better than KP on defense.
KP just blocks more shots lol

rebounding is a part of defending too

 

[ballinsam23]

Capela is much more athletic and a capable lob threat. Quicker on help defense. Dedmond disappeared in Sacramento. Good player, but product of a system.

What in the

KP is one of the better rim protectors in the league. He cleans up a lot and mucks the paint up

How is KAT arguably better on defense

 

[B Sox]

Sacramento giving Deadmon that contract and then not playing him was very Sacramento.

 

[ballinsam23]

Opposing players have career highs in Minnesota for a reason.

addict4sneakers and BIG LEEMELONE are good little posters. I like their posts. But don’t compare them to me.

Hmm. One of the rare times I feel like something's sus about advanced stats

I know KAT improved somewhat defensively this year but I subscribe to Krcyznski pod and they aren't really talking about his defense like it's anything special and they regularly talked about his lulls. On the other hand it seems like KP is generally regarded as an exceptional paint defender/rim protector

Someone else yall won't appreciate until they are gone

That was a nice little highlight reel but Russ is all bark, no bite.
