Older players in the lottery is a small sample size, but I feel like the success rate is better recently than in the past (not counting the years where most players stayed in college for 3+ years).

KP filled out and put on some muscle which might have impacted his mobility/flexibility some as well as the injury itself.

It was a triple double actually lol.

Lmao same here. That was my guy

RJ is a high level talent, but he developed sooner and got significant exposure before even arriving at Duke. He had a steep learning curve last season working through inefficient play, but he got...

Randle is shooting 41% from 3, that’s excellent.

He’s putting up 5 3s a game, not sure we want him chucking up any more than that. His game is working just fine — very balanced.

He’s apart of...

Obi is a consistently good finisher for a rookie shooting 61% from 2. RJ was attacking the rim last year, but his success rate was low. Obi played 1 more year in college at a mid-major school. I...

It helps that Randle has become a sniper from 3 making two 3s a game while RJ is now close to league average from 3 and capable of hitting open 3s more regularly. Those spacing issues are pretty much...

That’s not going to happen lol

Of course Quickley has been better. But that doesn’t really matter. The 19 year old #1 pick with Edwards’ athleticism is making the team. And yes I’m aware they counted Edwards as a guard, but he’s...

Edwards plays SF. He’s 6’6” 230 lbs now. I think he’s still listed as a guard, but Quickley wasn’t going to make it over him. Maybe if he got more mins Quickley would have made the roster as one of...

Luka is doubtful to play tonight :)

Sounds like Rose may be cleared to play tomorrow.

Doesn’t matter. It’s because the US team has 1st year and 2nd year players. He wasn’t going to make it over LaMelo, Hali, Ja, or Herro. There’s only 4 guards and 10 players total that make the roster.

36% on 5 attempts in Ja’s last year is solid. Especially shooting 81% from the line and playing PG where he’s shooting more pull-up 3s.

Because the format is garbage. They need to go back to rookies vs. sophomores. Enough of this US vs. World ****. There’s not enough talent on the World teams to justify snubbing qualified US players....

To be fair, a big SHOULD be more efficient than a wing. Vassell has shown a nice 3-ball and defense.

It’s easier for Vassell to see the court here as a 2/3 than Obi as a back-up 4 to an All-Star...

Yeah I’m amazed at RJ’s growth this season, especially after that slow start. His FTs and mid-range have improved drastically too. I’m definitely buying in to him long term. I can live with the...

I really wish the ball didn’t slip out of Obi’s hands on that fast break last night. He was about to pull some Giannis ****. I just feel like he’s thinking out there and not reacting. You could see...

RJ’s shot has come on strong as of late, but he’s still not better than Ja. Ja’s 3PT% is bad this season, but it looks like a fluke. RJ was in the 20s for a while too earlier on. Ja is also shooting...

Thibs likes Quickley on the bench because other than Burks no one is really a scorer. No other reason really like he isn’t starting. Quickley plays very well with the starters, especially Randle and...

Haliburton is wayyy better than I expected, but he seems injury prone so far. Missed the ROS in college last season and now has had a few more injuries this season in the 1st half. He’s very frail so...

:laugh:

Congrats dude

Gotcha.

Of course not, but that doesn’t mean Mitch is untouchable either. And we would need a replacement if he were traded, even if only temporary.
