By blackace Go To Postthere is can't guard and then there is get me the fuck out of hereI think there are a few 6'6" guys who guard those 2 as well as can be. Tony Allen gave KD fits for years in the play offs. And he's officially listed at 6'4" (he may be the best pure wing defender in the history of the league tho). Iguodala is 6'6"
But there are plenty of others who have been ok. You're not going to contest their shots with a real shot of blocking it or any of that. But again, there aren't really many who ever could, and be out on the wing with those guys.
All that said, any guy in the league under 21yo is going to get roasted by them regardless.
By DY_nasty Go To Postreal talk we need to retire crash's jerseyPortland needs to do the same. His Nets jersey that is.
Donovan Mitchell is barely 6'3 and i think people are going to be surprised at how effective he is going to be guarding bigger guys. Am i finding an excuse to bring him up? yes, yes i am.
By livefromkyoto Go To Post4.5 lbs away from being 4.5 lbs away.
Speaking of, this is Bruno's 4th year, is he finally going to be something or just Austin Daye?

Of course we ended up getting Malik Monk because NY hates winners
Depends if Embiid can ever walk again

PHILADELPHIA -- 76ers center Joel Embiid has not been cleared for 5-on-5 drills, and the team will take a cautious approach in his return from his injured left knee.
...
"If you walk in the gym, it looks like he could play 5-on-5 basketball," Colangelo said. "But we're going to take our cues from the people who know best."

Doncic got mad hype right now but the other 4 of the top 5 guys are God level prospects too. Whoever gets pick #6 is gonna be sick lol
For now I'd go Bagley > Ayton > Doncic > Porter > Bamba

Maybe I am not something but I doubt he will ever be an above average defend and average defenders at the 3 have to be extra good in other areas or have off tools... which is why I can't see him going 1... if dudes suck in college he might sneak into the top 3 but there are too upside guys this year

He just got kicked off the Brazilian national team for refusing to re-enter a game, so his ego is ready for the NBA. Not so sure about the rest of him. He sucked in the D-league regular season but had big games in the playoffs.

Bamba looks like he's going to fill the fuck out Whiteside style eventually. He's my early pick.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostHe just got kicked off the Brazilian national team for refusing to re-enter a game, so his ego is ready for the NBA.I'm not so sure i would take that as a positive.

By diehard Go To PostIt's weird these relatively small companies are getting jersey patches.I guess it comes down to the teams wanting to partner with local businesses.
The Wolves will be as good as Towns and Wiggins are defensively. I actually think the roster balance is good...I'd just really like one defensive wing on the bench unit.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostThe Wolves will be as good as Towns and Wiggins are defensively.We're fucked.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostThat Hornets environment is going to be the best thing that ever happened to dwight
i'll be impressed if he doesn't end up knocking up a UNC Charlotte student.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Post. I actually think the roster balance is goodNo shooting.....
By domino Go To Posti'll be impressed if he doesn't end up knocking up a UNC Charlotte student.You think his tastes have matured, then?
By s y Go To PostNo shooting…..Like, negative shooting. I can't honestly believe they traded Rubio for nothing under the auspice of "We need spacing" only to get Jeff Teague, career 35% from deep, and Taj Gibson, who can't even make foul line jumpers reliably.
The spacing is going to be complete fucking garbage. You don't need to respect the shooting of anybody that's probably starting. This team is at best marginally better than last year and much more expensive to boot. Vomit.
BBB fuckery never ends

Overall, these sponsor patches would look a lot more pleasing if they weren't patches but sewn into the jersey fabric.
Just another day when Charles Barkley is a moron:
"You know, these poor babies can't play back-to-back games. They're making 20, 30, 40 million dollars a year. But we want to make it convenient for them. ... We can't stress 'em out. So we're just going to make it more comfortable for them. The private jets and four-star hotels is not enough," he said, continuing his sarcastic tone.God forbid NBA players were healthy and rested and gave the fans a better product 🙄
He said the notion that today's players "want to rest is crazy to me" and said players are being disrespectful to fans when they decide to sit out a game, especially when that game is the only time a team will visit a particular city.But now they don't have to rest and they can play healthy and rested? Idiot.
By s y Go To PostOverall, these sponsor patches would look a lot more pleasing if they weren't there.
FTFY.
They're all awful looking gaudy money grabs.
